Finally know what surgery im going to be having.
Well, went to the specialist on thursday and have found out what im having done.thankfully dont need the realignment yet. But the bits the specialist is going to try first sound scarey enough as it is lol. Ill be in between the middle to the end of march. - Cut 4 holes in my knee and get a camera inside - Do keyhole surgery on my inside of my knees - On the outside of my right knee, i willbe having a metal rod inserted to try and get my foot pointing straight. But the specialist said, if it doesnt solve the problem its back to scratching his head :? thanks for telling me that I thought lol

That sounds like a barrell of laughs mate... I don't think!!

Hiya Nicky, Like you say,it's good that they're not doing the whole re-alignment thingy. I hope this proceedure sorts everything out for you. I had my right knee rebuilt after suffering a particularly nasty football injury about 5 years ago and,to be quite honest,it's the best bit of me now! Knee surgery is top class nowadays,and I'm sure they'll do a wonderful job for you. All the best, Gary.

Should of told him u can supply a camera and that will keep the costs down As for re-alignment send your Knee to TAL as they are amazing at everything. Seriously though hope it goes well for you

The specialist couldnt believe how buggered my knees were for a man at my age (22) but thats partly due to my job, and the buggers still give me all the heavey stuff to work :( Many thanks for the comments guys much appreciated.

Am having mine done tomorrow, will let you know what its like. Garreth

Best wishes for tomorrow,Garreth. See ya soon, Gary.

New knee feels great ! Apart from the bloody huge mummy style bandage that means I can't bend it..... They won't let me drive for two weeks (even though I've hired an automatic and its my left leg) so I'm having to cadge a lift to work. Garreth

Had my final appointment with the specialist yesterday and i have got the surgery on the 26th of march. So not too long to wait thank god :)

Got back yesterday afternoon, the op went really well No problems and wasnt in too much pain :) Although this morning when i went to the bathroom i felt really sick, sat on the toilet and fainted, ending up face first on the floor, which is tiled not carpett cut all the inside of my mouth by my teeth which isnt nice :( :cry: was released from the hospital a few hours ago after loads of checks. feel abit sore in my head but not too much to worry about :cry: Many thanks for the best wishes though everyone :)

Glad it went well mate. You need to do the physio they give you - no pain,no gain ! and its worth it long term. I often faint in the bog - usually Sunday mornings after 9 pints of Guinnes and a curry :twisted: Speedy recovery ! Garreth
