    TKR I need input on TKR outcome

    Thanks for your fast reply. I will take it very easy for a couple of weeks and go from there. Hopefully this problem will not result in a hip replacement, maybe it is just something stupid. I will keep you updated. Thanks a million again.

    TKR I need input on TKR outcome

    Sorry for being late on my reply to your message. Quit leg presses right after physical therapy, which is now well over a year. Twice a week I go to a class at the YMCA for seniors, where we work with weights, elastic bands, balls and on our balance. The squatting is done from a seated...

    TKR I need input on TKR outcome

    hello to all of you, I am at my wits end. Had a total knee replacement September 2012. Everything seemed to be going well, walked without help after 4 weeks, danced after 12 weeks and did my physical therapy at home every day. Had no problems using stairs both ways. The only problem I had was...

    TKR crunching/grinding in knee after 9 months

    Hello everybody, don't know if I did this right, I clicked on my name, went to signature and in the box below wrote the date of my surgery. Now back to the crunching, there is something I remember now. About 18 years ago, I started line dancing and my right knee made this awful crunching noise...

    TKR crunching/grinding in knee after 9 months

    Hi Brownie, thanks so much for your reply, what would I do without this forum, so very very helpful. My surgery was September 19, 2012.

    TKR crunching/grinding in knee after 9 months

    Hello friends, it has been 9 months now after I had a TKR and over all I am very happy with the outcome. Able to do stairs, going for nice long walks without pain, most important to me of cause is being able to dance again. The clicking noise is driving me up the wall, but according to my...

    Hello there, partial knee replacements are mostly done on not so active people. A friend of mine, who had one, thought he would recover faster by doing too many things not meant for a partial replacement and now he is not doing well at all. Don't know if this is of any help to any of you, I...

    TKR getting a little discouraged

    Hi, so nice to hear from all of you. Hubby and I went dancing and I did pretty well, just a slight discomfort when resting at night. The tightness around the ankle eased up, and a friend of mind, who also had a knee replacement, thought that it might be the muscle tightening up. Who know what's...

    TKR getting a little discouraged

    Hello friends, what in the world is going on with my ankle? You know the strange tight feeling most of us have around the knee and which in time will go away, according to my doctor, the same tightness I have around my ankle. I thought for sure that after almost 7 months all this would slowly...

    TKR Aghhh am I too late?

    Hi, I am sure that you have no permanent damage. Had my right total knee replacement last September and some days are great, and others not so good. It will take one year for the knee to heal. I am not a doctor, but I would advise you to keep up your exercises, like balancing on you operated...

    Hello again, hope the gel injections will work for you. Like most of my fellow physical therapist patients, I started out with a cortisone shot, which didn't help much. So I went for the gel injections, after those knee arthroscopy followed up with 6 weeks of physical therapy. When all this...
