[Barrie Yates]

I had both knees replaced in a 2 month period at Bury. The first one I was kept in overnight but the second one I was home the same day - that was almost 4 years ago. I was off my crutches within a week and have had no pain or discomfort in any way but certainly realised that I should have had them replaced 15 - 20 years before. No problems at all, no back or hip pain at all. I think any side effects could be the physical state before the operations and sticking with the physiotherapy exercise, even gradually increasing the exercises. Can't remember the name of the specialist , he is based at Oldham but covers Bury as well, if anyone needs his name I can dig it out.
