Knee surgery?

I had my first knee surgery at 16 years old... I always noticed aches in that knee, even after the surgery, but now that, I really notice creaks and aches in the knee. Doctor says it's arthritis at this point. But don't limit your activities as long as you can help it. Just keep up with your exercises, and remember that adding weight can make the knee pain worse.

It's frustrating for everyone. At two months, it's still normal to be experiencing significant pain and fatigue. Three months seems to be the magic turn around time in terms of resuming normal household activities of daily living and better pain control...yet full recovery will take a year. You are right, she should be off the walker by now...she may have spent a little too much time in home health...I like to see them in the outpatient setting by the 4th week. So, yes, she does seem to be coming a little slow, but do realize that significant pain and sleeplessness are still prevalent at this point.

The price of knee surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her of knee surgery in India through the Forerunnershealthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.


Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all of knee surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
