Re: Re: Multiple joint replacements

[Guest guest]

I had both knees done in 98, both elbows done in 01, and only 1 ankle

done in 04. I had to have one elbow revised last November. Other than a

loose knee cap that locks up easily, and an almost complete lack of

triceps strength, I'm thrilled.

Yes I have a horrendous orthopaedic history. I have had a total of 9 joint

replacements and 30 orthopaedic procedures.,

Due to a scuba diving accident in 19991, I was 37 for my first joint and am

54 now. Last one being only 4 months ago,

-- Re: multiple joint replacements

I too have similar issues I am 53, need a double knee replacement and

multiple joints are severely painful, including my spine. I am so sorry you

have had to go through so many surgeries and I am sure that your faith

courage and determination have all been tested. It is easy to think, what's

the use...but the use is, we have more to do or we wouldn't be here. I love

my grandchildren and hope to be an influence in their lives. My husband has

gone through this too indirectly and has been a silent, supportive force. I

have gone back to school at my ripe old age and have found more joy as I've

always wanted to do this. Let me, know how you are doing. Marie
