I Need To Look At Getting A Knee Replacement. Have Any Of You Had Any Such Surgery Or Surgeries In General?
Do doctors tend to steer away from operating on PD patients?? In particular, hip and knee surgeries?
I had total knee done, no problem except I could not take pain meds due to interactions from meds. Also have had 3other surgerys with Parkinson's, no problem
I had total knee replacement in August 8 this year on my Parkinson's leg. I can lean and walk on it full force. My only problem was I could not take pain killers due to so much other meds. What I could take gave me hallucinations. So it was painful going cold turkey. Glad I did it
I also had one knee replaced. No one mentioned any concerns and everything went smooth.
I had both knees replaced within a year of PD diagnosis. No problems with either. They were done about 6 months apart.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Tremors stop when you sleep so you are likely to be very sedated or put under anesthesia for an MRI . I meditatie so I just went into meditation mode for the duration of my MRI.
