    Re: TRKR & TRKRR 1 year later. Problems! It varies day to day right now. Without any stretching or help it is like 76 degrees. I got to about 92 degrees yesterday after being worked on by my PT.

    RTKR & revision 1 year later. Problems!

    Hi everyone. It has been a while since I have visited the site and I am 3½ months post op from my right total knee replacement revision. I had my first surgery back on April 25,2011. After about the second week of therapy I knew something was not right. I was experiencing crippling pain in the...

    Patella not tracking!

    Thanks Josephine. My wife keeps telling me the same thing. I just need to give it time I guess. Today was a little better day at therapy than monday so hopefully the progess will continue.

    Patella not tracking!

    Okay tomorrow will be one week since I opted for the arthroscopic scope and lateral release. My doctor said it went well and he removed alot of scar tissue and was able to get my kneecap to track better. I started therapy back the day after and had two sessions last week. To my surprise the pain...

    Patella not tracking!

    I went back to my original doctor on Wednesday. He took a new set of xrays including the sunrise showing my kneecap being misaligned. He disagreed with my 2nd opinion to do a total revision. He said he has seen much worse patella tracking and that the doctor can not determine if the prosthetic...

    Patella not tracking!

    Josephine, Thank you for providing me with these x-rays. I was not sure what the terminology for this view was. I was just able to show my wife what the doctor showed me. I am concerned because the one that is bad does not look as bad as mine. My knee cap was pushed all the way to the left...

    2nd Knee Manipulation

    I am 9 1/2 weeks post op RTKR. I am scheduled for my 2nd knee manipulation on 7/6. I had my first manipulation at 4 weeks. I had a doctors appointment today and my doctor did not like my results and said I was behind the eightball in my recovery and wanted to take a agressive approach. I am 40...

    What about wet heat to loosen up?

    I know ice is prevalent for total knee replacement but what about wet heat to loosen up before exercising? I feel that this helps me and makes my knee and quad feel better. My physical therapist usually starts me off with wet heat during a prolonged stretch off the side of table for 10 minutes...

    Sharp knife stabbing pain

    Thank you for the insight. I am going to tell my physical therapist to slow down. I often wondered how my body was going to recover with all of the bending and stress they are putting on my body. It seems that since the day after my surgery the hospital,home and outpatient therapists have been...

    Sharp knife stabbing pain

    I am 7 weeks post-op TKR and have developed a sharp knife stabbing pain as of this past thursday. It comes and goes and happens mostly when I am laying down and I am turning on my side with the pillow in between my legs. I have had pain since day 1 but not like this. This is a crippling pain...
