Hello, I have had 5 previous back surgeries with fusions. I recently got a knee replacement 12/18/17. I am now having terrible back muscle spasms and sciatic nerve pain. I know it takes some getting used to but this is bad, Its hindering my recovery. I had to lie all day Monday because of this. Now coming up the steps it screamed at me. Its makes me yell out so much zinging pain.

Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?

I had my knee replaced when I was very young. The surgeon told me it would last 10 years. The first surgery was very difficult on me. It's been 12 years. It hurts. But not to the point I'm in great suffering. Should I get my knee re-replaced b4 i get any older? Or should I just tough it out not undergoing another surgery, post surgery, and rough physical therapy?

Have never had them...but Dr wants to start treatment.

Has anyone had the hylouronic injection? Did it work? I'm getting them Friday. Thanks

Like knees making sounds example snapping, crunching, etc...
Joint stiffening, pain and/or giving way?
I am 58, in a few days 59, my orthopedic surgeon said need to be older seems likes even maybe decades...though now overweight due to had to stop exercising even changed to yogi fusion. Had to stop that as well. I am at my wits end with my OA, I need at least one knee replacement?

Has anyone tried the jelly shots in the knees? I was wondering if it is better than the shots I get now!

Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down. Has anyone else experienced weight gain while on Lyrica and how do you combat it. Really need to be able to lose some of this weight as the extra kgs are making my back pain worse.
