I had to shower twice daily in hibiscrub and apply bactoban to both nostrils 3 times a day for 5 days before my total knee replacement in April. This was given as prophylaxis for MRSA.

Today I have finally been discharged from physiotherapy at the operating hospital, where I had both the TKR and more recently the arthroscopic arthrolysis and debridment of my knee. My knee bend today is 120 degrees. I certainly would not have got to this point without the arthroscopic surgery and an astitute physio who correctly diagnosed neuropathic pain.
