Hi...I am new to this forum. I had right TKR on June 22, 2020. I am having a lot of right leg pain and hip pain and I google for answers and don't find much. My physical therapist mentioned last week that since my knee is only bending to 95 and a bit more with her help, that manipulation could be in my future although she isn't sure. UGH. I don't think I could go through all of this again. My knee is very stiff and the exercises she has given me to help with the stretching hurt a lot. I am discouraged and seriously thought that by now I would be doing better. I had an MRI done of my hip this past Friday but haven't heard anything. PT also wants me to cut back on pain meds. I have cut back to 2 percocet a day and take 600 mg ibuprofen every 6 hours although even when I took more meds, I didn't think it did much. I can't sit or lay in any position for very long til it is so uncomfortable I have to move around. I ice 3-4 times a day.
Sorry I am all over the place. I really fee like I need to speak with people who have been through this or going through this. My husband is very supportive but people can't understand if they haven't been through it. My 89 year old Mother has had TKR twice and I am certain that I didn't feel bad enough for her at the time since I have experienced it.
Thank you to anyone that replies.
