Surgical intervention

Hello Marylena,

I have to undergo knee surgery. Can you tell me if it will go well and whether I will have any aftereffects that could harm my job?

Best regards.

Hello Veroptique

Your surgery will go well, you will have a long rehabilitation, but it is true that if you work standing up, there will be occasional discomfort, and you will certainly have to consider finding a job that accommodates your condition.

Hello Marylena,

I went to see the surgeon and my knee is actually a wreck. There’s nothing they can do but wait as long as possible for a knee replacement.

Thank you for your reply.

Hello Marylena,

What can you tell me about buying an apartment?

Thank you in advance.

Good evening

For your knee, I advise you to look further, even in another department, to get surgery, as there are risks. See another specialist. Youth has nothing to do with it; we don't let people suffer at the risk of worsening the muscles and everything else around them.

As for the apartment, it will happen in 2013. Don't rush; you'll have plenty of choices and you'll find your little paradise.

Hello Marylena,

Actually, they don’t put in a knee prosthesis too early because it has a lifespan of 20 years, and after that, it’s the wheelchair. I’m only 42, and that’s way too soon. I don’t suffer from my knee except when I gain weight or overuse it. We’ll see later. But thank you for your answers, and have a good day.
