my son sam whose 12 fell and tore everything in knee all ligaments and cartilage also broke his femur bone in the growth plate ,they didn't have any choice the dr had to give him a complete knee replacement on Tuesday sept 23r just a few days ago,they said he will have to stay in cast 6 weeks after that rehab with a brace he should only have to use crutches for the first 2 weeks ,but they had him up and trying to put weight on it the next day and of course very good pain meds ,he really couldn't care less what they did to him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't know to what extent your illness is !. But why are you asking questions on Yahoo!.!? The best answers will come from your Dr or his/her nurse!. They are the only ones who know your situation specifically !. Please contact them !.

Going by your previous questions outside of having a mole removed you do not state why you MIGHT need a knee replacement!? Therefore without a reason, how can you expect anyone to help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
