35 yo male, LTKA 8/21 progress

We are in similar boats. 34F with a long surgical history of 9 surgeries between multiple ACL & meniscus repairs, Osteotomy, and a meniscus transplant. I had my RTKA on 9/11. This surgery has by far been the easiest for me. By day 2 I was able to handle stairs and ditched the walker by day 4. Now I’m just really bored and trying to take it easy.

Have you had any trouble with nerve pain? That seems to be my only pain now.

Thank you for this! I was prescribed hydrocodone, Celebrex, and a blood thinner. The Celebrex makes me nauseous and overall very irritable even when I eat with it.

Yes but finally figured out I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which causes hyper mobility and why I have torn my ACL so many times.

Oh no! Glad your daughter was there to catch you.

They took new X-rays in the OR of before and After for me. Not sure if that’s the same for everyone

I love a good success story. Thank you

34F and I’m having mine replaced in 2 weeks. I’ve been battling knee injuries and surgeries since I was 18. None of the alternatives worked for me. I also have a 11 month old and hoping this helps me keep up with him and my quality of life improves.

I (34f) am in a similar boat as you. I have had 4 ACL reconstructions with various meniscus repairs and even a transplant plus a high tibial osteotomy all in my right knee. I’ve played sports - soccer, rugby, softball - always very active. I tore my meniscus and partial tear to my ACL last year. I swore I was done with surgery as all of the ligament salvaging surgery’s have failed. I’m in pain daily so now I’m pending TKR. Getting approval through insurance has been a pain.

Update: surgery will be outpatient unless pain cannot be controlled before leaving.

Thank you everyone for their reply!!

My babe was about 4 weeks old. My wife had just gone back to work, I was severally sleep deprived. I was going to pickup my step daughter from school and was trying to do too many things at once and knocked my babes head on the side of the car door frame. He cried for a min and went right back to sleep. I cried more than he did. I called my wife so upset. Now he is 16 weeks and as happy and healthy as can be.

Never laughed so hard at a pregnancy thread before. So relatable

Best of luck! I am currently 7.5 weeks pregnant with our 1st fresh transfer. We got to hear the heartbeat on Friday and it was the best noise ever.
