I'm so sorry about the mail mix-up, @MalteseMomma. Having everyone go elsewhere is a big problem, especially bills and things. Before I moved to Texas for work, I was living with my parents between leases. When I moved to Texas, I filled out the change of address forms and did inform them that it was only me moving and the rest of the family was keeping the current address. Everyone got it right except the AARP. They somehow started sending all my dad's mail to me in Texas. We got it fixed, but I've been getting junk mail about medicare and the AARP ever since, even though I was 29 when I moved out here.

Hi CamilleP.....yes, both surgeries were on the same knee. The pain has been almost too much to bear since the replacement surgery.....but I think I've turned the corner finally, and seem to be improving by the day. I do attribute the hair loss to the meds, pain and stress of it all.....but I'm hopeful it will all be worth it in the end. Fingers crossed!!!😊

Oh ouch!  My osteopathic surgeon did warn me that the arthroscopic surgery might or might not work to relieve the knee pain, and I might need TKR after all.  I hope not, and I will absolutely keep you in my prayers, Grandmapetes, that your knee does indeed start to heal quickly, and that your pain level goes down even more, I am so sorry you are still suffering!

Thank you, Drythe, I am glad that upping the scalp oil treatments seem to have speeded your hair's recovery after your surgeries, it was the best thing I could think of to try without going to hormone or laser therapy.  I am sorry you are going to have to face re-visiting the TKR surgery on one of your knees, that's a bummer!  I hope the revision works better than the original surgery, and you don't have  any more problems from either knee in the future!  Thanks again!

@CamilleP, I hope you are healing well from your surgery!

Stormygirl, the weather doesn't seem to have much effect on my knees, only my right foot, which has a lot of arthritis in it from being crushed when I was a kid.  My knee surgery was done because I tore the meniscus while hiking last spring, and conservative treatment (bracing, cortisone injection and nsaids) did not help.  Also, I have always had bad knees because I have almost no trochlear grooves and so my kneecaps slip off to the sides all the time, so they are pretty rough on the back.  While the doc was inside with his arthroscope, he did a "release" surgery on the lateral patellar ligament in hopes that the kneecap would stay in the "middle" of the joint better, so it's arthritic changes won't get worse.  Time will tell if the two surgeries help or not, I hope so!  Thanks for the good wishes, I hope you get through this winter with as much comfort as possible as well!

Thank you, Nikki, I think I am getting along about as well as anyone could expect, at one week out.  I'll see the surgeon next week, and he'll tell me if I'm doing okay or if I'm being a slacker and need to get tough on myself and start running marathons the next day, LOL!
