Here's who did mine this year:

James D. Crowther
Bone & Joint Surgery Clinic
3410 Executive Drive # 103
Raleigh, NC 27609
http://www.raleighboneandjoint.net
(919) 872-5296 x238

I really liked Dr. Crowther and thought he talked on an adult-adult
level instead of I'm the doc and you're not. Jillian at Stewart Physical
Therapy is awesome as well.

I have a wheel chair with leg extensions that I am no longer using if
you are interested.

My only advice is to consider local lidocaine patch for pain as opposed
to oxycodone because the withdrawal after 8 months from the narcotics a
couple of weeks ago is worse than breaking my leg and having the two
knee surgeries.

Subject: [internetworkers] total knee replacements

I couldn't come up with alliteration to match "looking for LASIK" - but
in the same spirit - does anyone have first "hand" experience with a
total knee replacement?

Osteoarthritis in the medial compartment of the right knee.  Haven't
tried any injections (yet) but was told that it's too far gone for a
partial replacement, and the only serious option is to replace it. I
think the expression was "get your mind around the idea of surgery."

Any particular referrals and/or places to avoid?

-Jim
