subject:"\[RBW\] Knee Replacement"

Re: [RBW] Knee Replacement

2022-11-20 Thread Richard Borneman

A little backstory about my knee. I'm 70, played football, basketball and 
baseball when I was young. Shredded my MCL and tore my meniscus in 1976. 
Had some old school surgery with the 10" incision.  Started riding the bike 
seriously for rehab afterward. All good till around 20 years ago. Started 
having problems, got it scoped out to fix a tear in meniscus. 
No problem for 10 years or so and then started having serious pain during 
long bike rides. Used to do 5 or 6 century rides a year but after the 60 
mile mark it felt like somebody was sticking an ice pick in my knee every 
revolution of the cranks. Lived with it for 5 years, stopped doing long 
rides, a metric century is my limit. 
 Back to doctor, another procedure, another tear cleaned up. Doc told me 
then there wasn't much left to work with.
I've had the rooster juice injection twice, first time helped for a year, 
second time, no change. Had cortisone injections a couple times. Feels like 
a new knee for a week or two then it wears off. 
Now, I can ride my bike short distance, I do a 9 mile commute to work when 
the weather is good. Knee feels good after a ride. It is sore and stiff 
when I walk around and swells up if I walk any distance.
My doctor wants me to try the rooster juice again. I guess I will. I am 
getting a big addition built on my garage and I am going to do the siding, 
windows and trim. Hopefully before the weather gets too cold. I will have 
to climb up a ladder and scaffold to do it. If I can. 
If I get the knee done I'm thinking about doing it in February. That month 
sucks. Weather is usually nasty,, hunting season is over fish are hunkered 
down. Just not much going on.
Getting old sucks. Beats the alternative though.
Richard

Re: [RBW] Knee Replacement

2022-11-19 Thread Jay Lonner

Bilateral knee replacements are not uncommon, if patients are good candidates. “Good candidate” is a catchall term for lots of intangibles, such as patient motivation and expectations, medical comorbidities, at-home support systems, etc. I would imagine that most Rivendell enthusiasts have the health, motivation, and means to tolerate a bilateral procedure.For postop pain relief the Cadillac option is something called an adductor canal catheter, which is basically an infusion of local anesthetic (chemically similar to Novacaine, such as you’d receive for a dental procedure) that lasts for up to three days. This targets sensory branches of the femoral nerve, which is responsible for sensation of the anterior thigh and knee. That’s where the incision is, so that’s where the bulk of the pain is. There is also some pain in the back of the knee mediated by the sciatic nerve, which is not affected by an adductor canal catheter, so breakthrough pain can still be an issue.

Re: [RBW] Knee Replacement

2022-11-19 Thread Rusty Click

I am bone on bone in both knees after five arthroscopic procedures.   I 
think I will try another round of "knee lube" injections to get me thru 
guiding a few trips this spring, then riding RAGBRAI in July.  After that, 
I'm consulting with the doc about doing both knees at the same time.  Leah, 
do any patients get both done at once?

I'll be waiting to hear/read how recovery goes Richard.  Good Luck,

Rusty

Can't think of a better way to drift off prior to surgery than sharing Riv

As someone with osteoarthritis in both knees, I feel your pain.

No knee replacements yet. So far, a change in diet and rehab has delayed it.

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.

Re: [RBW] Knee Replacement

2022-11-19 Thread Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!

I started working as an RN in the perioperative world this summer. I pre-op 
patients for surgery and joints and spines are the bread and butter of my 
department. We see a LOT. Often they come in to have their other side 
(knee, hip) done and I always ask how the first joint replacement went. 
Almost always they report it was easier than expected, they have full 
function, and they seem less apprehensive when getting the second side 
done. Last week I had a woman with a hip who loved to ride horses. The 
surgeon told her she could get back on the horse in a surprisingly short 
time. Told her the position it would put her hips in is the safest position 
to be in and no more dangerous (falling off) than many other activities we 
do in daily life. So, talk to your surgeon. It might be much easier than 
you think. Plus, fix it now and you can enjoy being active and pain-free 
for much longer!

All the best!
Leah

A good friend has had both her knees repaired. She reports fairly brief
