Glad everything went well. I had two knees done 3 years ago and all is well. Just keep up with your physical therapy and you will do OK.:)

Congrats on the knee. I have had both of mine done and don't miss the pain. I am on Cymbalta for depression and ALL my fibro pain is gone. Life is good. I hope you do well and find some relief from the fibro.

Do the exercises. Both knees have been replaced. Only to last 10 yrs. I was told. Would never have it done again. But knees are over the 10 year mark, perhaps because I lost 100#.

I was on my own with no help and this was a tad bit difficult, even tho I am very independant.

The first one I had done in 98 and the anesthesia left me in a state of severe depression. Dr. could not figure it out, until he had surg. a year or so later, same thing. After this experience, I always had the anestheseologist consult me prior to surg. Now, it is done automaticlly in some hosp. I am allergic to it, but give me the wrong kind and....

Have fibro also, and now depression from CFIDS!

Good luck. Heal quickly.

You are in my prayers.
