I am due to go in for a Knee Op next Thursday and wondered if anyone else on here has had one and how long it took them to recover. I have only heard bad stories so far and am worrying myself sick already! They are going to shave two parts of the bone and take a look to see if anything else needs to be done.

Sorry not had that operation.
However I am also due a knee operation soon. A repair to my anterior cruciate ligament.
I think mostly it is down to what you are prepared to put in to help the repair.
Get in plenty of exercise and physio after the rest stage to rebuild any muscle wastage.
Should all be fine.
Best of luck.Regards,

went in for one the other year and started with a little op just to remove a tiny bit of bone and then once they started they found more and more problems in side the cartlidge and from that they had to totally reconstruct my knee from scratch and then once that was done they found that the new implant that they had put in my body had rejected it and they had to start again and put a new injection piece into the joine of the kneecap and this was all in the first 3 weeks of the first op then once that had done and they hadreset the joint in place and they new joint had been accepted by my body.this entailed that after all the ops and the revisiting to the hospital the over all time line to actually getting back to work was 6 months. and still i have to go back and get regular injections to numb out the continual pain from the replacement joint rubbing against the bone of the kneecap. only kidding ive never had the op but im sure it sholdnt be too long before your back at work as long as you dont run marathons in work time?0

OMG. I was believing you until I got to the rejection of the implant and then realised you are taking the p***! .....................It was funny though!0 -

im glad you have seen the funny side of it ......
im sure they do 1000000s of these each year and the % of ones that go wrong must be down below 1% ...
i would not worry about it and if you are working in a sit down job im sure that oyu maybe will be off for about 2 weeks or so !0 -
15 years ago i managed to snap my left patella in sports injury, and it took a year of pysio to get it right, however now am left later on a misshaped knee cap.
Am due for an op been told it can be anything from shaving down the back of my knee cap to a full replacement. just had an injection to tide me over but having scan next month was hoping to put off op till after june but if injection anything to go off dont want many more, but mean going back ever 3 to 4 weeks for them.
Plus it means upto 8 weeks off work that i cant afford as i will only receive SSP.
Like you ive heard the horror stories but cant put off either.0 -

I have had problems for 20 years now and have been back and forth to the Doc had Xrays and Physio but nothing did any good. It was only this year that they did an MRI and decided to operate. Maybe if they'd done an MRI all those years ago it couldave been sorted a long time ago. It is unbelievable how many people I have spoken to that have had or are waiting on Knee Ops. Hope yours helps you.0 -

So true. I have been informing people that I talk to on the phone at work that I will be off and you wouldnt believe how many have had knee ops. Maybe we should all become Athletes and give up this desk work!0 -
