    hey @sevvo welcome to the community, I hope you're recovering well from the operation. :)

    If you feel the knee replacement will change how you deal with things day to day, then please report the change. If things will stay roughly the same, it may not be worth reporting it. Personally I tend to report things, but I'm very aware it may trigger a new assessment.

    Hi Albus

    I cant see there being much difference at all to my mobility and daily living as imagine i will be experiencing same difficulties even after the surgery.

    I am now being looked at for my other knee now as displaying similar traits now as my now operated knee awaiting mri to determine if surgery may be needed on this now?
