    New Pain 10 months after surgery

    I actually take 2 aleve everyday. My right knee is doing fine, and the tightness in both knees is gone. Just the left hurts when I take the first few steps. It gets tolerable as I walk, but still hurts.

    New Pain 10 months after surgery

    I had LTKR in June 2011. Everything has been fine. No problems walking, actually solved my back problem also. Last week I noticed it hurt to walk after sitting in a chair. I also had some tightness in both knees (had RTKR 09). The pain feels like a poker sticking in my knee everytime I take...

    Getting frustrated, need someone to listen

    I had itching, drainage and what looked like clear skin peeling around my incision for about 5 weeks. They decided that it was caused from a reaction to the sutures under the skin. The doctor said that he had noticed more patients than normal with a reaction to the sutures. He said it was...

    Best exercise for ROM

    I was curious what exercises people do at home that helped them improve their ROM the most. I am 4 weeks after surgery, and my ROM is only 85 pushing it. I had a few things that interupted my progress a little but I am eager to get it going. I have no problem getting it straight, but the bend...

    Anybody have feet problems after TKR

    I was wondering if anyone had feet or ankle issues to deal with after their TKR's. I have problems with my right foot/toes because of the way I am walking. My arch has fallen after a year of walking on my new rt. knee. Now I am having the left knee done next week, and I am wondering how this...

    Leg Length

    RestAssured - That's interesting that you said you regained your original height. I have always been 5'8" and when I went for a physical in February they said I was 5'5". I made them measure me again & I got another 1/2 inch added. What happened to my height? Hopefully it will all get...

    Leg Length

    I am having my second knee done on June 20th, left. Did anyone have any leg length issues? I walk like granpappy on the Real McCoys right now. My right leg is now straight since the operation but my left is bowed. I just wondered if they will turn out the same length.

    Dental and LTKR

    Having my LTKR on June 20th, I had my RTKR on 6/29/09. Nervous because I know what to expect. Had some dental issues lately, lots of pain under a crown. That has subsided, and have been on anitbiotics for it. Went to the dentist today, he said that the xray did not show any infection and the...

    Has anyone had their incision closed with glue?

    Hi, I had glue used to close my incision 12 weeks ago and it looks great. I was glad I didn't have to worry about staples leaving marks. I actually have little parts of my scar that are already fading away. Jessy

    Lower back pain after RTKR

    It's been 9 weeks since my RTKR and everything has been going great. The only problem I have is I now have lower back pain. I am assuming it's because I now am walking straighter. I noticed it when I am standing for a while in one spot, and now this morning I woke up with back pain. Anyone...

    ROM question

    When you guys talk about ROM. What position are you measuring this in. I am 4 weeks past operation today. When I lay flat and bend my knee I have a hard time getting past 95, because of the swelling behind my knee. When I sit in a chair, I can get 110 with no effort at all. I don't have any...

    Question on knee not having surgery on?

    I am having a RTKR. My left knee is bad, but not as bad as the right. I am curious on peoples thoughts after they fix the bad knee, does the other knee seem not as bad or tolerable? I guess what I am saying is that my left knee started going bad because of the way I carried myself, shifting...

    General An. vs. Epidural

    Hi, I am having a RTKR on Monday, June 29th. I was planning on having a general until I started reading posts and now I am undecided. My reason for the general was because I have had epidurals with my c-sections and I remember laying there awake for hours and I couldn't move my legs and...

    Frustration:

    I was in the same position that you were in. Same state too, maybe same surgeon? Anyway, I went to see another Doctor from the same hospital and felt much more comfortable. He didn't have a problem with my age. He said that I definitely needed tkr, but he actually spent some time with me and...

    Looking for advice regarding tkr & insurance

    Hi I joined last fall, I was having a problem with the first doctor I saw and I took everyone's advice and saw a new doctor. He worked out great!
