Too true!
I really enjoy my arthritic knees and shoulder - the steroid injections into the joints are the high point - my bursar on my SI joint, kidney stones, failing memory (why should I remember everyones name anyway ... let them remember mine!), failing dental array, hair loss and every minor injury I ever had coming back to remind me of when, where and how little I bothered about it in the past...
Youth of today don't know what they have in store for them but we can sit and watch them out jogging, playing rugby and carrying big packs over huge distances and silently chant "you'll be sorreeeeee!"
Some of the best fun I have these days :)

Hi John I don't suppose you remember leaving all your kit to me in your will, I have the document here written in crayon but it is signed JF.

I wish you a speedy recovery! Knee trouble is no joke. Good luck with your healing process 😊

I am taking pain meds now. The modern ones are useless, no buzz, just a superb pain relief!
Knee swollen.
Going back to work on Monday no matter what.
Not a doctor here, but you must have been advised to have a week of rest and at least 4 weeks of physiotherapy exercises right?

Not sure what type of work you do , but if it's manual work , I suggest you follow the advice.
I've had my right knee done , similar problem to yours , and it's good as new now.
A colleague of mine ignored advice, never did physio , and now the problem is compounded...

Get some rest Janne

Shoild you be going back so soon? I would have advised my patients not to go back too early. Take the time to do your physio, strengthen your muscles and re-learn to walk correctly otherwise ou will be back to square one! Good luck
