I had my first knee replaced 13 months ago. I was suppose to go back to work but knee was stiff and assumed it may need note time to heal and therapy and got my second knee done too since it needed it and would give me 3 more month recover for my first knee. Im stuck sith both knees still and now out on disability. MUS was discussed but covid closed hospitals down at the time. Im waiting to talk to my surgeon again about mua although it has been a year on both knees now and out of their normal comfort zone to perform mua i don't have osteoporosis. I can barely reach 90 degrees and dont want to learn to live with this! Its like getting new tires on your car but cant get it spun balanced so half the job is done. Yes, im told scar tissue grows back reason why they dont do ablation. If I only knew, I never would have had them replaced. My mental health is not good! There is no cup half filled as far as I see it. Im going to check into WOBENZYM as Im not allowed to take NSAIDS because of the damage they do to the kidneys and Ive been on celebrex and advil a for a few years. This sucks!

I was told how great it was going to be. After the first i went the stem cell route and PRP and have found that to work for me. I will not get the second one doen. If i had a do over i would not have had the first one done. I have friends who are happy with it and those who are not. Its a crap shoot.

@buickturboman You had surgery but surgery left you unable to go back to work and you need another surgery/treatment but you are unable to do this due to COVID-19. Did I get that right?

You add your mental health is not doing good. May I ask what kind of support you have?
