    TKR Benay's Recovery

    Thought I’d hit the one year mark but it’s a few days to go - but here I am with my annual update. 99% of the time I forget I even had this knee (or the other) replaced. Maybe if I kneel on it and mostly when I’m tired that click in the background, is more noticeable, particularly climbing...

    TKR Benay's Recovery

    4th Month Mark Today I’m doing everything I need to - even took a 5 hour flight to Detroit and stayed 4 days doing my best to avoid any and all slippery ice patches. I have occasional minimal discomfort probably due to the usual pushed too hard but it is totally manageable. Occasionally resort...

    TKR TKR - November 8th

    "but the clicking is aggravating" same with mine. It's mostly going up stairs and some days more apparent than others. I may be getting less concerned (#trying my best) but I'll be happy when I forget all about it.

    TKR Snapping knee post PKR

    I will - there’s no pain and any weird sensation I suspect is imaginary. I’ll work on the tuning out. Thanks always @mendogal

    TKR Snapping knee post PKR

    I have the same. It's when bending the leg. Going downstairs far more click than going upstairs. It is a concern though I'm trying not to dwell/obsess. Otherwise I'm, so far, really without complaint. I was thinking of dealing with it in the new year if it's still happening (hoping it'll...

    TKR Knee discomfort

    I had 4 pea sized (probably scar tissue) along the incision. I massaged nightly consistently and they've almost disappeared.

    What I really like about post 3 months is being ok to bathe and jacoozi. Both are favorites! I thought OS was extreme but I did what he said, now it's freedom time.

    TKR Benay's Recovery

    This is the exact 3 month mark so here goes the mostly good and the sometimes marginal update. I reread my 2019 thread this morning to get of a sense of where I was then, best I can see (and I really posted lots which, with hindsight has been helpful) I was well past most difficulties at about...

    TKR Knee clicking

    I had no clicks with the first knee but do with this one especially on stairs or with a similar bend. There's no pain but I find it a distraction. I tell myself not to be concerned but I'm really looking forward to not having it.

    Forgot to say, Tylenol extra strength easy swallow is a game changer. It really is easy swallow and no need to wash down with water.
