    TKR I want to be able to Kneel.

    I now kneel at 18 months post-op but just to bathe the dog in the bath tub. I use a foam pillow but it does feel odd.

    TKR Almost one year post-op

    My tkr was 18 months ago and my yearly exam was good. I still have pain but I can tell it's "nerve pain": The kind of burning pain a person feels when they scrape their knee - badly. The pain level is usually low grade but always there. If I stand too long my knee and ankle will swell up. So...

    TKR New knee with issues

    Welcome to the forums Klickty! I am 13 months post-op and I like to say my surgeon opened my knee, threw in a bunch of hardware and sewed me up. I fondly call my new knee "a bag of bones".:th_heehee: Seriously, I have clunking to this day. My surgeon told me that some TKR's have/notice...

    Bilateral TKR Recovery Diary

    About the boredom and TV... I watched many DVDs that were an entire TV season. I like science fiction so my favorite was Firefly. I often tried to watch shows that had a continuing storyline. I did this when I recovered from my THR too (which was a little rougher than my knee - oddly.)...

    TKR Am I Impatient About Recovery

    Mine was black from my knee to my foot. Including my foot. If I keep my knees bent and pulled up for very long, while I'm sitting in a recliner, my tkr knee will hurt for awhile when I unbend it. I love to sit that way. I just can't do it for very long. I have no complaints about my knee but...

    TKR Happy Birthday to Knee...

    Hi All, my knee's birthday was actually 6 days ago but I couldn't think of anything to say to commemorate the event. I guess that's a good thing.:wink1: While recovery have been slow, it seems like the year has whizzed by.:scratch: My knee is still clunky but the annual xray was good. I have...

    Knee Infection Knee #2 Done

    Re: Charity Care? I agree with this. My husband was a Board Member of a private hospital and they met periodically to "write off" the accounts of people who couldn't afford to pay their bill. However, they prefer that a patient make arrangements with the hospital in advance, according to what...
