PKR LPRK May 9, 2012
So sorry you are in such pain. I wish I had a solution for you. If it were me, I would be on the line to my doctor for immediate help for the stomach, the knee, or both! Hope you get some relief soon! Kay TRKR 6/4/12- jacksmor

TKR NSAID Allergy and Inflamation
I went into my RTKR knowing that I would not be able to take any anti-inflamatory medications post-surgery due to a severe allergy to NSAIDS, aspirin, etc. I'm now 6 weeks post-op and continue to have significant swelling and pain, not only in my knee, but also in the knee and back on the same...- jacksmor

TKR Op June 2nd, meds and nausea
My leg, also, was much delayed - did not want to move when my brain directed it to. Then one day I was lying on the bed, mentally directing my leg to move when it suddenly did. And once it got started I thought it would not start. I raised it so high I thought it would disconnect from my hip. I...- jacksmor

TKR 4 weeks since surgery
PT Update: Saw the 3rd different PT yesterday. The difference was night and day. There was no man-handling (or woman-handling either). She gently assessed my progress, told me I was doing well overall and that I needed to work on just a few different things. I continue to have quad muscle...- jacksmor

TKR 4 weeks since surgery
Its now 5 weeks since surgery. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Tomorrow I am trying a third PT. If this one can't work with me where I am and treat me gently, I give up. It is so helpful to hear other people tell how hard they are working, how exhausted they feel and perhaps how...- jacksmor

TKR 2nd July 2012, I've arrived !
I remember "stupid o'clock" - I found it really hard to sleep in the hospital. Also, I felt trapped by the bed as I couldn't get comfortable on my back and lying on my side was painful. When the PT comes you'll have a chance to move around a bit. And before you know, it will be time to go home.- jacksmor

TKR 4 weeks since surgery
Well, I did it. I went to my first PT Group today. Had a different PT - one with better skills - and so the group was tolerable. There was only one other person - also new to group PT. Every time the PT started to grab onto my leg/knee I reminded him that he was NOT to bend my knee, but allow me...- jacksmor

If I had been there I would have been cheering and waving my pom-poms. Good for you! Way to show the docs that patients really do know a thing or two about their own recovery.- jacksmor

TKR 4 weeks since surgery
Thank you so much - all of you - for your words of support and encouragement. I was so fortunate to have home PT for 3 weeks after surgery - two wonderfully supportive women who gave me such confidence and encouraged me to try new things - like walk with a cane. It was such a blow to go to...- jacksmor

Thanks so much for these references. Despite my extensive research prior to surgery, I did not have this information. It is so helpful! I should know to listen to other patients! I will keep referring to these articles as reminders that I really am doing fine and making progress in my recovery...- jacksmor

TKR 4 weeks since surgery
I'm glad to find this forum. I'm 4 weeks post RTKR. I think I am doing well. Had PT at home for 3 weeks and made good progress. Went to my first outpatient PT appointment last week and was basically told I was doing everything wrong, that I needed to not use my cane and continue with the walker...- jacksmor
