Hello,
Stats:
59-year-old female
Surgery date: March 18th, 2022 TKR (Outpatient) UGH!
Nov 2017 Left TKR (healed well 110 flexion, and 0 for straightening, the same surgeon)
Oct/Dec 2019 RHT and Left Total Hip replacement (same surgeon)
2015- present L4/L5 compressed causing pain, can't walk well when it flares up
causes RHT/Left hip flexor/groin pain and weakness in the legs
back in Chiropractor sessions since March 15, 2022
August 2021 Therapy for back and hip flexors (30% better) did not keep up chiropractic adjustment after October 2021.
I am only at 94 degrees flexion with my right TKR. Having trouble doing certain exercises due to groin pain (leg slides, step-ups)
My knee on the right side remains hard to the touch since surgery, while the left side of my right knee is softer. No feeling to the right of the knee. I can climb the steps at times holding on to the rail one foot after the other and my straightening is about 1 finger.
While sitting on the exam table legs dangling down my therapist can slowly gently bend the knee (with mild discomfort) past the 90 degrees, am I having trouble with heel slides and bending on my own due to my hip flexors being ceased up/weak, etc?
It is now 7 weeks since I had surgery I'm so afraid I will get scared tissue in this already stiff/hard knee. Anxiety is high!
Blessings and thanks so much for this site!
