    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    Good luck on your two new knees! At first, post op, be sure you have a good shoe that ties so you can loosen them as your feet may be swollen for a while.

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    I had X-rays to see if I had stress fracture. Then they saw both heels were huge bone spurs. The band tissue that connects is called the plantar fascia. Anyway. I advise anyone getting joint replacement to wear good shoes. Shoes that bend only at the toe when you squish the shoe in your...

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    Thanks. I have tried that brand among others. Love their slippers. I was fitted for Brooks tennis shoes. Need to look for another tennis shoe though as it's time. These shoes are pricey but I can deduct them from taxes and don't have to pay sales tax, depending on where I get them.

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    Also the injection into heel was not typically wherE MD injects the foot as far as where I described pain which he said was unusual. But it worked. Then went forward and continued treatment for PF. This is all my left foot. It's my right knee and hip hurting now.

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    I have tried and been fitted with shoes and supports from Foot Solutions. I think I have a high arch and these products don't seem to reach up high enough for me. I also have never worn heels and now wear shows with more height on them for PF. Anyway, just saying, it's a lot worse than when I...

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    No PF never cleared up. It changed too in its course. Bought all the shoes. Think it caused an arch problem. Didn't do night splint because I can't keep it on because you can't walk in it (it's not meant to be) and I have to get up too often to use restroom. Going to go big time on foot...

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    That's a good point too Jo. I would assume they would go with PT to get me walking correctly, if they can. Last time I saw foot MD, he mentioned I walked funny in the back of the heel area. But now I am not hardly walking heel to toe. Just Frankenstein walk. Just feels impossible to get that...

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    Early on saw OS and or his PA. X-rays all okay---went in for fluid nothing there. Went to sports type generalist...thinking it was fat pad or impingment...he said I didn't have a fat pad or knee cap. Fast forward went to Peachtree Ortho for my feet issues. They did not address the knees except...

    Bilateral TKR Angry knee is angrier than ever

    Hello all. I am back for a visit here...angry knee I fell on soon after surgery, and again 9 months ago, slipped on a slippery wood floor....don't think the slip and fall was that hard. Anyway, a little over a year ago, went to the foot Dr. with heel pain. He said both heels are huge heel spurs...

    general or spinal?

    Thought I'd chime in here. I also had GA. I had femoral blocks, and the cocktail to the knees. I asked for an anti-nausea shot as soon as I woke up. I went straight to my room, which was before noon, and as soon as they put me in the bed, I was feeling just fine and was up most of the day. I...

    TKR Jamie's 2rd TKR Recovery Saga

    Jamie, does your heel hurt from your plantar fasciitis? This mess is really killing me. I was thinking mabye your Doc could give you a good cortisone shot while you are asleep, if you were up to such a thing. I got a few months of relief with mine. Just a thought. I only got mine laterally...

    TKR Jamie's 2rd TKR Recovery Saga

    Good luck to you Jamie. My heart sunk when I saw the OR room. You will be fine. I had 2 femoral blocks with my BTKR's. No problem at all. They had me standing and walking a couple of steps the same day. I really didn't mind the catheter at all, in fact wish I had had it longer, as it was pulled...

    TKR I made it to the other side

    In response to the plantar fascitis, I developed it 2 months ago. They said I had probably developed it after my knee surgery, from the trauma of walking a new way. They x-rayed my heels and they are both total heel spurs. It hurt so bad I thought I was going to have to get my walker back from...

    TKR I took my staples out last night

    Wow. I guess if you really need to get them out yourself, if there's a will, there's a way. The home RN visting nurse left one in one of my knees. I had to go to the PA /office to get it dug out.
