    TKR Rosi's Recovery Update: One Year post op nightmare...

    Yes Jamie. My daughters live in Brooklyn and Jersey City. We visit NYC often. One of my heartbreaks is not being able to walk the city anymore. I would appreciate the names. Thanks, and thank you Mary for the link.

    I know my frustration is showing. I know in my heart of hearts that your advice is absolutely correct. In answer to your questions: I live in Lancaster, PA, the pain is deep in the knee joint on the medial side. The pain is often caused by nothing, but I can trigger it by flexing my quadricep...

    I know I have a thread here somewhere, just not able to figure out where. My surgery date was June 11, 2012. I had a successful recovery and was able to resume normal life and exercise, losing 30 unwanted lbs. In short, I felt great. Sometime in November, I experienced a sharp pain on the inside...

    Thanks Margaret;)) It is finally closed! Huzzah. The saphenous nerve, however, has decided that it will not be quiet! It has gotten much worse. I'm unable to put any weight on the leg without burning searing pain. It seems such a cruel joke that this comes AFTER I was pain free and moving...

    He claims that the hole is healed. Funny, every time I shave my legs, the thing breaks and bleeds like crazy. Wondering if anyone has any experience with the saphenous nerve or cortisone shots to relieve nerve pain. It is a week today and the pain and burning are the same if not worse. Hoping...

    Thanks to everyone for your advice. Surgeon said the little hole is nothing to worry about, but did diagnose saphenous neuritis. He did X-ray the knee and said it looked fine. He pressed a finger into the inside of my thigh, just above the knee and I nearly hit the roof. He said only a small...

    Thanks Josephine. I have an appointment 8:30 tomorrow. Hoping it's much ado about nothing. Not a very good photo of the small unhealed hole, but there it is.

    Hello all, I never expected to be posting about pain 6 months out, but here I am. My recovery went without a hitch until about 2 weeks ago. I am experiencing sharp searing pain on the left front side of the knee below and to the side of the knee cap. Weight bearing or moving the wrong way at...

    TKR I have a new knee!

    Oh Nyland, don't ever apologize for feeling down. We've all felt the way you're feeling at some point. Remember that anesthesia, medication, pain, and physical shock are all ganging up on you, ready to upset your normal brain chemistry. I suggest keeping a diary of sorts. Even if you write one...

    Bilateral TKR Bi-Lateral knees 1 month later, Still can't straighten either knee, having a hard time.

    Kimber, you and I are virtual twins as far as surgery dates. I am still at +9 extension. Not sure if I've seen this mentioned, but I know I have a very difficult time relaxing, especially during PT. I'm sure every muscle in my body tenses when I walk through that door. My PT constantly tells me...

    Well I didn't feel strong enough to go to pt this week. Decided to work on straightening at home. Not there yet' but had the most amazing moment this evening. Walking heel to toe, I actually felt no pain. No pain! The strangest thing was that I suddenly remembered what my knee felt like before...

    Went in to this week's pt with resolve. I let them know very firmly that I did not want them to push on my extended leg. When asked why, I explained that my leg became stiffer and much more painful. Not sure if the next bit had any thing to do with my declaration or not. PT began aggressive...

    Josephine,thanks for the reminders. It seems once you get in to a rehab gym environment, a certain mindset becomes inevitable. As I read the various links you posted, I felt somewhat foolish that I had succombed to the competitive atmosphere. What is it about some PT's that make them want to...

    Home since 6/14. Most of first 2 weeks spent in drug fogged state. Some issues with pain control, but since the addition of 12 hour oxy, things are much easier. My stay in the hospital was so far superior to the stay 7 years ago. The personal were not only knowledgeable, but caring and very...

    I realize that I never started a thread of my own in pre-op, but it's too late now. Tomorrow at 11:10 is my time. Hope to report that everything went quick and easily. My left knee was a bear, 7 years ago. I think there are at least two others on the forums that will be joining me tomorrow...

    Doesn't sound as if you'll have to "milk" it. On the contrary, it seems you have a family that values you and cares about your well being. You and I have the same date with destiny. My 85 year old mother traveled from Florida to take care of me. She is one amazing woman. Between her and my...
