Doc says I have arthritis and fluid on the right knee. Now it's over to the ortho to discuss treatment options.
@dauphin87 Good luck!! I just had both hips replaced via the new surgery, and, though full recovery takes a long time (like to be able to do yoga, etc.), Iโm so glad I did it!! I had no idea how bad off I was until I had both hips replaced.

@LindaGoodliffe I meant to ask you. You had both hips replaced? Simultaneously or separate surgeries?
@dauphin87 Youโre welcome!! Itโs a scary thing to face joint replacements, I know. I was crushed at first, but now Iโm just disappointed Iโm not the bionic woman. I feel like that should be an option at this point. ๐
@LindaGoodliffe That's so encouraging!
@dauphin87 I had the left hip replaced Jan. 10th, 2023, and the right hip replaced Feb. 28th, 2023. I stayed overnight in the hospital both times, and Iโm glad I did. That first night pain can get intense, so donโt let them do outpatient.
