Sounds like you need to go back and ask for an amputation.
Thanks for updating us - it almost sounds like you actually listened to the advice you were offered. Is that a first?Two days off three weeks in.
Pleased to hear that it's going well.
This was excellent advice.
It is just a flesh wound at the end of the day.

Glad to hear it's all gone well.Knee pillow bought
(Nihat in basket....may skip that....to beardy)
This.
I still put a pillow or cushion between my knees 20 years on from my bilateral knee replacements. This also stops my knees knocking together with fear if my wife demands her conjugal rights for the third time that night!
I was about to say the same thing about my mate tooGood luck, I have a mate who has had both knees replaced in the last couple of years. Not a pleasant experience apparently but once recovered, life changing.
All the best
and we're of to play golf for a week in a couple of days.

I have a pre-surgery assessment for a partial knee replacement soon. What are the normal timescales between having the assessment and having the op? Thanks

If you are under NHS Isle of Wight this might help:

Depends where you live. In north Kent where I live it was about 4 weeks to see the surgeon and another 6 before the op.

Four weeks after the op, the swelling is down, the wound has healed, and I can walk pretty normally.
Trying to not overdo it (5 minutes on the exercise bike).
Still taking lots of paracetamol and ibuprofen, but off the narcotics.

Now the wound has healed, recommend using Bio-Oil on the scar. I've used it after a couple of surgeries and it seems to work very well in healing the scar tissue and making them less obvious.
It looks expensive for the bottle size but you only need a few drops so a bottle will last for ages.

In my case it would be hard to recognise a difference from baseline.
