Hi srp,

Sorry for what you're going through. I'm 70 y/o as well and had both knees replaced in 2022. My right hip is getting replaced in Jan 2025. All osteoarthritis-induced. In my 30s and 40s I ran marathons. Tore up my cartilage in knees, hips, and lower back.

Can you elaborate on what was done to your meniscus and ITB? That would be helpful.

For now, ice and elevation are your friends.

But please do let us know what was done to your meniscus and ITB. I'n guessing you had your knee scoped to remove small tears in the meniscus. Not sure what was done to your ITB.

All the best.

Joe
