Has anyone on this site had joint replacement and had any problems due to their epilepsy or their medication? A knee replacement is my next big adventure - yay - said with much sarcasm.
Thanks for all the great comments and information. I will tell the anesthesiologist about my AEDs and the other medications I take. I have had anesthesia changed once due to my medications. I love this site because of all the good advice and personal experiences.
I had a hip replacement 12 weeks ago. It’s not medication that cause problems but the fact i don’t know when I’m going to have a seizure so have fallen a few times. I was kept in hospital for a full week as I live alone and am an above knee amputee so the risk of falling is very high. I had 2 seizures while in the hospital and have had quite a few since but luckily haven’t done any damage so far except a large heamatoma on my thigh.
You will be fine, hope all goes well xx
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I don't think there will be any problems, but I decided to ask if anyone has had any issues.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I hav'nt needed one yet but I'm not that old either. One the topic of meds and their relation to this? I have heard of people needing bone density tests over time due to known issues then can happen with some AEDs.
Haven’t had any issues with this
