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

Just a few months ago they were going to replace both my knees because of Bursitis. After scans they saw that I did not need replacement and sent me to Physio to strengthen my knees. In less than a month I can now walk without a cane or walker that I have been using since Jan. 2019. I was told to keep up with physio at home now that my insurance will not cover it and I will have no problems.

My research only turned up a seizure medication that actually may be helpful in in perventing joint deterioration. It's called Carbamazepine. (hard to pronounce 🥴)

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I don't think there will be any problems, but I decided to ask if anyone has had any issues.
