    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Thank you so much for your advice and the link to “ilio-fibial band”, Pumpkin. Surgeon mentioned something about a band when looking at the x-rays but did not explain. Now it makes sense. I'm doing some stretching and massage and believe that it has gotten better already. Once again, this forum...

    Pain locator: D-RF1. What a great tool! Thank you! Thank you for your opinions, Kneeper and Jockette. The link to the article is very helpful. My problem spot happens to be on the outer side of the knee. The surgeon looking at the X-Ray didn't find anything wrong and...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Hi, I had my right TKR back in Sept. 2019. Everything went well. We live on the 4. floor and I'm using the stairs often for exercise. Since about 5 months ago I'm getting a pain on the right outer side of my knee. It is on a very concentrated spot. It hurts when I'm walking a lot...

    Wow, Peaches0000, your OS Doc is quite empressive. So good to hear his opinion. Thanks for sharing it. I am very happy with my 2 new knees also. TKR's were definetely worth it. Good luck with your continued good recovery.

    Thank you to everybody for your input. I'm so happy to have found this helpful forum. Oregon mom, I wish you good luck. Hopefully, your TKR's will last a lot longer than expected.

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Thank you both so much for your replies. At my age, 20 years is just fine. Now I feel better about using the stairs. I had my left TKR done in June '18 and my right in Sept. '19. Both kneecaps are somewhat uncomfortable when going downstairs. I wonder if this is always going to be this way...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Hi everybody! Today one year ago I had my 2. TKR. Our apartment is on the 4. floor and I like to bypass the elevator as much as possible to get more exercise. Going down is a little uncomfortable but going up no problem. My question: Do I “wear out” my new knees faster that...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    It has been 7.5 months now since my right TKR. I'm not having any more pain. We live on the 4th floor and I'm using all 48 steps down and up to exercise my knee. This then gives me a little discomfort at night. My left TKR (close to 2 years ago) isn't hurting at all climbing the stairs. Am I...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    It is now six month since my right TKR and I'm so glad that I had done both knees now. I had fallen on my 6 month new knee on a hard surface and it hurt for just about a week. Now I am pain free on both knees and I'm so happy to have found this forum when it came time for my second TKR. It has...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Thank you sistersinhim. I'm trying very hard not to twist it and it let's me know immediately when it happened. Hopefully, it will go away in time. As I said, I'm happy that I'm finally making good progress now and almost reached my goal after 3 months. Thank you for your support!

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Thank you for your support, Celle. Now I have another question.... After 3 months TKR on right knee, it is still painful when I accidentally twist my knee just a little. Does anybody have this same experience? I had TKR on my left knee 18 months ago and don't remember this happening then. BTW...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Thank you Celle. Yes, I have been told that internal scar tissue will form and possibly the knee will have to be opened up again. Scary...huh? I'm so grateful to this forum to explain the difference between the scar tissue and adhesions. Thank you for setting my mind at ease. I appreciate it...

    TKR Still some knee pain after 17 months TKR

    Hi, one more question...Is there a general time frame at recovery when internal scar tissue is not a threat anymore? I am 9 weeks post my right TKR and I am doing my exercise once daily at home and once a week outpatient. I try to walk as much as possible. I think that I'm progressing slowly...

    Thank you Celle. I didn't find my previous post and now placing a shortcut of it into my BoneSmart folder is a great idea. I will do that from now on. Also, thank you to everybody for their great advice. It is reassuring. It is wonderful to be able to "talk" with other TKR recipients and their...
