    TKR Diney's got another new knee!

    Wonderful report from my surgery buddy!! Diney, I am so happy for you, life is such a blessing isn't it? I am doing ok, not so good as you but I do see the light at the end of this long, long journey. My other health problems---osteoarthritis in all my joints, and fibromyalgia---cause me...

    TKR GrandyGirl's Recovery Story 1/14/12

    Thank you for your fast reply, Dori. I sure hope you have good luck with the returning to work. I am really glad I am retired right now! I do see improvements almost weekly now, but the energy drain and also the tight band feeling, sometime causes me to second guess my decision. I have to...

    TKR GrandyGirl's Recovery Story 1/14/12

    Hi Dori, I was thinking about you yesterday during my 2 hour ride to see my OS. I was just wondering if you still had pain, and today I read your post and see that you are having some of the same problems I do. I was released from the OS for 9 months after a 3 min. office visit. He is a great...

    Dori, It is so good to read your posts. I am glad you are doing so well. Your posts have always inspired me. I too am a little envious of that backyard pool, but I hate to be seen in a swim suit so I would need a really tall fence!! Happy Easter, Dori...continue to enjoy your new knee and...

    TKR Luvtocamp - Slow Recovery but Worth Every Minute!

    Good News on Rash I have good news on the rash that has had me so worried for the past couple of weeks.....Josephine was so right had nothing to do with the implant itself....it is capillaritis, an inflammation of the capillaries. My body's immune system has been stuck in the "on" position...

    TKR Luvtocamp - Slow Recovery but Worth Every Minute!

    Diney, I remember reading about your problems earlier with the uti. I hope and pray you are right about this problem of mine. I had a shoulder replacement 6 years ago and have not had any problems with it. I think it is titanium (spelling probably incorrect). I don't know the knee is made of...

    TKR Luvtocamp - Slow Recovery but Worth Every Minute!

    Jamie, I have no way to post a picture, but I had described the rash to Josephine, she didn't think it is related to the replacement. I know I worry to much about what it could be. I did lots of research on rashes after knee replacements and the results just compounded my worries. We only...

    TKR Luvtocamp - Slow Recovery but Worth Every Minute!

    Thank you so much, Claudia, I am trying so hard not to panic. I have been doing so well until this rash started. I just have to try to have faith and hope for the best. My GP didn't think it was related, but he admitted he didn't know what it is. When I was very young I had a reaction to some...

    So very worried...the rash is not going away...I saw my GP on Monday, was given steriod cream and have been using it 3 times a day....now Friday and it is not any better. I really thought it was going to clear up, but it has actually spread to both arms, and some on my face. I called the OS...

    Josephine, I have no fever, or chills or any other symptoms.... do not feel bad at all...in fact I feel better than I have in a long time. My energy level is improving each day...I continue to lie down twice a day for about 1 hour each time, continue to ice and elevate at least twice a day...

    TKR susan

    Hi Susan, I am not qualified to give you advice, but I wanted to comment on your first post. I thought I was the only one to "talk" to their knee until I read your post. I actually apologized to my knee several times for putting it through the pain of this surgery....now 8 weeks later I think...
