50+ thread

Ok

You fit both groups. I've been posting with my Cool Old Dude Mentors in the 60+ thread since I was 45yo.

Exactly.

 

Option #2 replacing the existing knee replacement is only if the prosthesis is damaged from abnormal wear or from your own bodies immune system attacking it destroying the components . Again the Xrays and CT scans show the prosthesis to be in good condition but that can be totally different when they open my knee up . Also there's a much greater chance of a major infection to the surrounding tissue and bones were it attaches to

All knee replacements have shims to adjust preload and for alignment that hasn't changed on how they're mfgd

Back to infection risks , five years ago during my initial knee replacement surgery I developed a very bad infection in the knee just a couple days after surgery . Luckily it was caught quick with IV antibiotics and was better a few days later

Most surgeons including mine will say there's a much greater risk of a severe infection in the joint capsule and more of a threat to your bone marrow were the prosthesis is screwed into . The more times a joint replacement is replaced the higher the threat of major infection risk


Currently my ROM is ...... extension 15deg and flexion 89deg and walking is quite painful as there's alot of instability . These measurements were taken yesterday during my Pre Op

 

Good Morning Everyone !!!!

Need some opinions. My son is working HVAC on a new jobsite for the first time in his life. Drinks a LOT of water. So we buy water. $3 for a six pack times 4 each week. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but that is about $50 a month for him. I am thinking we need to get something for him to carry water in and fill it up from the house every night before he goes to work to take with him. Problem is he goes to his truck when thirsty, grabs a water bottle and heads back to the jobsite. Kindof defeats the purpose of my idea of getting a water cooler. Thought about cups, but that is really not ideal for a jobsite. Any ideas?

 

Sup Bman!
