In the meantime, I am doing small walks with her and kind of going by how she is walking and limping or not.
What do you think of that Cosequin supplement? Or what about a CBD supplement? I have heard mixed reviews about the Cosequin, specifically stomach issues. I don't want to give her anything that will flare up her stomach again.
You know, the broken knee really wasn't that painful and it was a bad break in TWO places. I didn't need surgery, thank God. I was able to lift my leg straight out, so the ortho surgeon opted for me wearing a full leg brace for 10 weeks and basically going from the bed to my chair. I thought I was going to turn into a piece of furniture from sitting so long!! LOL.
I did have 2 hips replaced over the past 6 years and the pain before the surgeries was unbearable. Recovery from hip replacement is not as bad as recovery from knee replacement. My friend is going on 6 months, and she still is in pain every day. I hope that my knees stay stable and I don't have to replace THOSE too. OMG, I am going to be one giant piece of metal!!  |
I never had any luck with the cosequin and I won't use CBD. But...didn't have any stomach issues with the cosequin.
OMG a fractured knee cap is so painful. Happened to a friend of mine.
Knock wood, no hips here. I was very lucky I guess. Had my knees done three months apart 16 years ago and never looked back.
LOL on the metal. One night I was walking past my neighbor't truck and my knee hit his hitch.....the noise was scary! LOL Painful, too, but I was fine. Titanium strong I guess.
Please do keep us updated!
