Firstly, my thread might not be relevant to this folder. However, considering this folder are associated with mostly 'mothers' related topic. As such, i posted here hoping that any of you could share your mum experiences in she ever suffered from knees joint problem that i judged to be very common in elderly ladies.Pardon me .....
Hi, my elderly mum(67) had been suffering from right knee joints problem(Guan Jie Yan) for 2-3 years and she is stubborn not to have it operate rather than depend on medication.About a year back, she was examined by a doctor at TTSH and the doc had advised her to under go the knife but my mum refused.
However, lately her right knee condition had deteroited and she is having some hard times to walk after a prolong same positions(sitting,sleeping,standing...etc)
She has made up her mind to be re-examine again and she agrees to go for operation.
We could not find the TTSH doc details anymore. I would urge any kind souls here to give your recommendation for any good doctor who are in this field if your elderly parents have such experiences. Maybe if free, you can tell me after the operation, it would take how long for the patient to recover and start walking again. Cos i heard my mum(her auntie networks)said that it depend individuals, some might take longer than 6 mths to walk again after operation.
Vivien, if you are there. My auntie given us
