Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005Knee Surgery Tomorrow
Well it's finally here. TKR on my right knee tomorrow at 7:30 am. My last dosage of MTX was on June 2. My last dosage of Enbrel was on June 6. My last dosage of Naproxen was on June 12 Still taking 2mg of Methylprednisolone. I gave a pint of blood for my surgery on June 16. Just got my blood report, SedRate 38, CRP 6.6, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematorit all slightly low. I guess that's to be expected. I feel like sh.t, I can barely walk, right knee all the way down to my toes is painful, feels like it is are full of marbles or fluid. Left side not doing too badly so far, but back is really stiff. Can barely wash my feet. I think they take you off all these drugs so you'll be glad to have your knee removed and replaced with metal and plastic. Anyway I'm testy but not stoned. Waiting for doctor to tell me whether or not I can take a pain killer. Hope all is well with everyone. Haven't been able to contribute much lately just working, feeling sorry for myself and generally picking on my poor husband. Elizabeth Elizabeth, prayers for a good day for the doctors, and a very successful knee replacement. Hope your pain will be minimal and you will soon be feeling good again.

Sure hope this does the trick for you and that you finally find some relief with the pain. Is this the same knee you had scoped about a year ago? Praying that the surgery itself goes well and that you have a smooth and uncomplicated recovery. Let us know, when you are able, how everything is going! Donna G Yes it is. You have a great memory. I'm having the Minimally Invasive TKR and will try to keep a journal so that others can see what its like, at least what it's like for me.
