    TKR 4 weeks postbop from tkr

    Thank you for your reply. Yes the area you have circled is my concern. Surgeon says it is fine and secure. Hopefully in time pain and stiffness will get better.

    I'm still dealing with pain and stiffness at 4 mo post op. Looking at my xray, looks like an overhang on the femur. Surgeon says no concerns, but I'm not so sure. Can someone give me their expert opinion on whether this is a concern. Thank you!

    I just saw your message. Almost 3 months now. Still dealing with so much stiffness. Going down stairs very difficult. Will it get better?

    I'm 5 weeks post op of lt tkr. My kneecap is very painful and bruised still. I read through my operative report and it states surgeon resurfaced the patella. Is this typically done and why? My rt knee was done 7 yrs ago but this wasn't done.

    Hard to remember first recovery, but it seemed easier than this one. I am taking it easier with the exercises. I do feel it was causing me more pain after I went there. I appreciate your advice and will keep you posted. Thank you

    I am getting discouraged. After 4 weeks I feel that the stiffness, tightness, pain should be subsiding some. I can barely walk for more than 5 minutes. I quit physical therapy because I feel I can do the exercises on my own, and was being pushed a bit too hard there. I have been icing...

    TKR 8 weeks and still dealing with lateral pain

    Went to see the PA on Tuesday and he thinks the pain is from a tight IT band and has suggested going back for some PT to work on that and possibly massage. I mentioned the overhang and he said yes he did see that but it wasn't unusual to have that. I went to a different therapist and he seemed...

    MUA A Year and Still Tightness

    @4quilts did the tight band feeling finally resolve for you? Your story sounds exactly like mine. I am 8 weeks post op and have not only the tight band feeling but pain along the side of my leg as well. They are saying it is most likely the IT Band. I am thinking of going back to PT to get them...
