Revision TKR 3 years out - Injury?worked
Haha exactly! I do believe that I just upset all of the soft tissue, but let me tell you, it is ANGRY! I am using my cane today to just take a little weight off of it, and I’ve been icing. I had a friend tell me he did the same thing, and it took him six weeks to feel better! Apparently...- HookEm613

I had a TKR revision about three years ago, after a doctor realized my PCL was torn. That replacement went much better than the first, and I have had an excellent three years since. Last Friday though, I went to my nephews wedding. I danced a lot, and in full transparency, had a few drinks to...- HookEm613

Hello, Everyone! I had a TKR four years ago, at 36 years of age. Obviously I was very young for a TKR, but it was a necessity. As my doctor said, I had the knee of a 90 year old. Fast forward through the first year, and although I had continued pain, I really thought it was "normal". My...- HookEm613

Hi everyone! It has been six months since my knee replacement and things seem to be going well. I am 36 years old and have a 2 year old at home so I will be honest in saying that I did not rest like I should have at the beginning and that slowed me down a bit. Now though, I am seeing marked...- HookEm613

Is it ok to take Advil after a knee replacement? I was taking a lot of it, for a long time, before my surgery. I started to get stomach pains right after taking it (prescription strength), so I stopped. I haven't taken it in about 7 weeks so I thought I would try taking 2 pills tonight. It has...- HookEm613

I took my first Tramadol this morning and maybe I should have taken two. I feel ok but in a little pain. Saying that, I also have been cleaning most of the morning. I am icing and elevating now, and it is noticeably feeling better. I'm going to take it easy the rest of the day. I really want...- HookEm613

Good news, the doctor was pleased with my ROM this time around. I did lose 8 pounds in two weeks though, so they were concerned. I don't mind the weight loss at all lol. I told them I haven't had an appetite and that I was ok with that, because I weight 206 pounds. I could definitely stand to...- HookEm613

Ahhhh, new shoes for sure! I don't think about that as much since I haven't been able to run the last year. I definitely would not want a boot unless there was an actual injury (tear) or it was absolutely necessary. Not to mention, they are so big and bulky. I am going to have my PT massage it...- HookEm613

Unfortunately, no. That was about 15 years ago when I was 21. I don't think any injury has been as annoying as that one. About 5 years ago I was playing a game with a woman's league here, and broke my ankle. It was a minor break, more so a "chipped bone" as weird as that sounds, and that seemed...- HookEm613

I think it's my doctor that is stressing me out. I am at 4 weeks post op today, and my doctor wanted me at 90 by my 2 week appointment. I am getting checked again tomorrow (4 weeks), and if I am not at 90, they want to discuss a MUA. I am going to deny at this point, but I feel like they think I...- HookEm613

Unfortunately, I am starting to experience a side effect that I didn't even consider. In college I played soccer and before practice one day, our coach had us run bleachers as part of our warmup. During this workout I had a partial tear of my right Achilles. I was in a walking boot for almost 2...- HookEm613
