Thanks. I probably haven't tapered them enough. Last night I felt like I was done but today there's some residual. It's definitely better overall, though.
I had TKR 1/22/15. I had the other knee replaced 1/03/11. Both done at Mayo in Jacksonville. All went well as before; different doc because my previous one retired. Different this time: only 2 nights stay whereas 3 before. Now they don't put a catheter in for a nerve block but inject pain killer...
Thanks for the kind welcome. The support from the good people on Bonesmart was a great help to me before so I'm happy to be back again.
I was one of the fortunate ones with my first replacement. I was off the walker and cane at 3 weeks. I don't exactly remember when I felt "normal" again. I know...
Four years after my left knee TKR I'm having TKR on my right knee on January 22. This site was greatly helpful to me before; it helped me know a little about what was going to happen. Having been through all of it before and knowing more about what will happen is both good and bad. I'm not so...
I would certainly be interested in hearing more about people who are getting or who had shoulder replacement. I have bone-on-bone in both shoulders that are quite painful. I talked to my ortho doc at Mayo in Jacksonville. He did my LTKR. He said he does about 250 TKRs and year and about 40...
I had LTKR at Mayo in Jacksonville, FL 1/3/11. Dr. Mark Broderson did it. I couldn't be happier with the whole procedure and results. No problems whatsoever. Trying to decide when to have shoulder replacement now.

I had my LKR in Jan. The knee itself wasn't painful but it was causing many other issues. My recovery was very easy. Granted it took some time, but compared to other stories I've heard, it was a breeze. Get yours done ASAP. You'll be glad you did. I'm going to have my other knee done next Jan...
I've been reluctant to write this because I don't want to gloat. I'm writing to tell those people who are hesitant and worried about bad results of TKR that results can be good. I was scared to death but felt that I had no choice and had to have surgery or spend the rest of my life as a disabled...
They tested EVERYTHING on me. I forgot to add that I also had an EKG. But this was at Mayo so that might have made a difference because they wanted all their own test results. I would check though if you have to be fasting. My original lab appt. was for 12:30 and there was no way I was going to...
Hi Fellow Texan. My pre-op started at 7:15 am with fasting blood-work. I had a chest x-ray, a knee x-ray, consulted with a social worker about home health aid and home p.t. I saw a physical therapist who showed me the post op exercises I'd be doing. I saw an internal med doc who did a thorough...
