I have to choose yes or no to Endoscopic Knee Surgery...anybody had it before?

Question

I have two bad knees left and right. The Orthopedic surgeon requests that I have surgery to help ease the pain.

Answer 1

The cost of knee joint surgery is very low in India as compared to USA,UK and Canada. You can get the surgery done there in a fraction of cost of what would you pay in USA or private UK

There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges orthopaedic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by NHS in the UK.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your knee joint replacement surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery for in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She is totally pain free now.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. hope this helps.
I would recommend this company to you as you are willing to travel abroad and get the surgery at low cost.

Answer 2

Yep I've had two one on each knee did not mention age so here goes i was to an age where intelligent people quit trying to act 18 when i tore the first knee had the surgery 3 weeks later I was back running the entire secret to easy recovery its now pay attention "do the physical therapy like religion" do what therapist tells you i started mine the day after by trying to get the flexibility back you will have to work to get back and you will still have a bit of loss in movement but yes do it

Answer 3

my Dad had it done 5 times, because of the insurance companies, for some it works wonders for others it does not really do much for them, it all depends on what your problem is I think, I'm not shore, but over all it is not to bad of an operation, you will have some pain for a bit till it all heals but that's really it, I would suggest though to only do one at a time, to let it heal before doing the other, it will make getting around a little easier.
