Hi Agnes: Had total knee replacement three years ago, because of falling on the concrete ground due to Osteoporosis. The surgery went well, but it took me quite a while for recovery as my bones are not in the best of shape because of Osteoporosis. But now I am OK and function well with my right knee which was replaced. I had a compressure fracture of my knee. Thought I wasn't healing too good so I thought I would have to live with the balance problem and no stability which I thought was due to the surgery. But this wasn't true as eventually I found out that after seeing a Neurologist, I was told I have a Movement Disorder which is Parkinson Disease. Don't be afraid, but you do what you have to which includes patience doing your physical therapy and put up with the pain which is temporary, and you will be OK. also do what the doctor tells you. Take care and good luck to you on your knee replacement surgery. If you have confidence in your doctor, just relax and take each day as it comes.
