I apparently was not paying close attention when I logged in earlier this morning. Yes, it is there, appears this poster joined & made 3 of 5 posts at 4 a.m. this morning. Anybody have any ideas as to what that is all about? Disturbing to say the least. Perhaps the site needs to be on a secured...

Good advise & good information. I am not a fan of the opiate pain killers either, I don't like being in a fog, but, I can't take anything more than Arthritis Strength Tylenol. We'll have to see what the level of pain will be afterward, hopefully I can manage it with minimal pain meds. I was...

I have not seen that. Kind of hard to see much when the board goes missing. Lost availability here around 1PM yesterday until this morning.

It's only shared if you wish it be. To my knowledge, it is the same as the previous private messaging with the option to include others if you wish. I have used it a couple of times & I haven't seen it shared. Perhaps Gary or one of the other mods could add to this.

Thank you again, greatly appreciate the shared first hand experience as well as the encouragement from everyone. I will keep updating as I can, hopefully by the time I'm over the surgery the discussion board will be consistently available. Yesterday it was available the longest in over a month...

Thank you Jake. I can't tell you how much this means to me. My L knee has been bone on bone for some time, it's to the point of being disturbing with the bones clunking together when I walk, as such, that has been limited use. Thank you again for your words of encouragement.

I'm not a fan of the pain pills either, though, I was on them for quite some time with my back issue. Primarily because I can't take over the counter meds like Aleve, Advil, or Aspirin because I'm on a blood thinner. Strongest over the counter I can take is arthritis strength Tylenol. I did not...

Thank you for that tgrubb, the input that I have received is greatly appreciated. I hope all goes well enough to get the right knee done this summer as it is about shot & I don't want to wait too long for it to be done. I figure, once I have been down the road of pre-op physical, co-pay &...

Thank you for that, greatly appreciate it. My consult went well, have the first one scheduled for May 13th. I will be having this done at Advanced Center for Orthopedics in Marquette. I was hoping to have it done here, but, 100 mi away isn't bad & its done on an out patient basis. I still have...

Thank you rph130 & heckler56. The surgeon that I am going to see for the consult today is a specialist in knee & hip replacements. My referring orthopedic told me that he does 50 to 60 of these per month. Experience should not be a concern. As far as rph130's comment regarding sleep, are you...

Yes, your conversation remains private, you just have the option of including others in it if you wish.

Good info, thank you. I have my consult with the surgeon on Monday.

Hopefully the board issue is fully resolved now. I haven't been able to get in this late in the morning is weeks.

I have reached out to John a few times, most recently on Apr 19th. He is still recovering from a nasty flu bug that has plagued him since his stint at Mayo. He will be speaking with the vendor about this issue as soon as he has enough strength to do it. It is frustrating, but, an issue we have...

Hare Band rock & roll.....:unsure::giggle:

Thank you for that bit of advise, I had back surgery last year, 4 fused vertebra, 2 rods, six screws & a nerve passage opened. I can no longer escape the metal detector.

Happy Easter to all. May the Easter Bunny be kind to you with sweet treats & fun with the family. Enjoy the day.

Thank you guys for your input & encouragement. I figured I would try to get this posted before the site goes MIA again. I know I need to get this done, especially before the better of the two knees starts to cause me major problems. I have already had to rely on the good knee more than the poor...

I am about to embark on a new journey, knee replacement surgery. Last year I had major back surgery, which was no real picnic. I guess this is a price you pay when you play hard at everything in the younger years including 34 years of sledding. I have osteoarthritis in both my knees & have been...
