Can I join your group?

My name is Kat. I have had 7 joint replacements no revisions. The pain and problems stem from DDD, spondylosis, foraminal narrowing, scoliosis and lots of other things. When I read a physicians list of conditions they treat, I almost have everyone. Since I was 50, I have gone through lots of surgeries, PT and ablations. I am 78 now, and my last surgery was in 2023.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

Kat, welcome! I suspect you’ll be a wealth of knowledge for those of us considering or scheduling a joint replacement. So, I’m curious, which joint did you NOT replace?
