I had my right knee replaced in 2010 and the pain I endured for several years is gone . I might add I would it again even having to go through the rehab and knowing that my other knee wouldn't hurt .

Had mine done at 61 years in 2014. First 2 weeks is a little rough, but after that a piece of cake. Therpy is a little rough the first couple times. Love it now, no more pain, would do again in a heartbeat.

My wife had one replaced. The Dr. that did it did a sorry job of it. She suffered with it for 18 months before he conceded that he couldn't help her. he handed her off to a fellowship trained knee doctor. That doctor told us that her new knee was loose. He replaced it and it's ok but she sustained permanent nerve damage to her leg and foot. That causes her to have restless legs at night. since then she had her other knee replaced and it was done well and she hasn't had any problems with it.

Croatankid; my wife has restless leg syndrome also. She takes about 1 ounce of MAGCITRATE (the laxative) mixed in a glass of water at night and it has stopped the RLS. She now takes it only every 2 to 3 days

Thanks Bill, I'll tell my wife about your remedy.
