I’m scared!! At 59 years old I’m scared. My end stage OA both knees and right hip are going to be replaced what spooks me now is that I can’t stand on my right leg. I turn to Gooogle and that makes me nuts! Does anyone else ever experience this? As soon as I put weight on my knee it gives out. I’m worried that it’s nerve damage and whatever else. Please someone reassure me it’s the sever OA that’s doing this. October 21 I get new hip. Thanks in advance!!

I do not think you will have nerve damage. Just keep exercising your muscles. Over time the pains will go away and you will relax the muscles.
