    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I haven’t but I need to at least go get checked out. I see one if the others in the practice Tuesday and will ask his advice. Thx. My knees have hurt my entire life. I thought I would finally be pain free but trying to accept that’s not to be.

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I’m now 15 months out from btkr and I still have so much pain. It’s mostly on the insides below my knees. I realize a lot attaches there but this is intense. I rode my horse today and had to stop and swing my legs. The right one hurt so badly it took my breath away. Has anyone else experienced...

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I’m not sure what to do. I’m a little over 13 months from bilateral tkr. My knees still hurt a lot especially in the morning or if I’ve been stationary for a while. Two weeks ago I stepped on a smashed grape in the grocery and went down. It scared me and hurt but I didn’t think I was injured...

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I had to get help after the BTKR for weeks but I can’t afford to do that for long. I have a diabetic kitty who requires twice daily testing and I would be able to do that with shoulder surgery. Much less all the other work with them. Or back for that matter and the foot surgery will be non...

    I keep waiting for the magic 12 month anniversary. I expect perfection! My good friend asked if I realized that wouldn’t happen. Yep. But I can dream. I am active and know that’s both good and bad.

    Thanks. My low back was so bad this morning I could barely function. I had the left side of my neck ablated today and hopefully it will help. Hope to do my SI joints in 2 weeks mid that doesn’t help I’m ready to be fused. But I’ve heard that’s s bad rehab too and living alone with pets, how...

    Standard Shoulder Replacement Finally after 5 years - a new shoulder

    I had bilateral TKR last June and I’m still having lots of soreness, stuff and just difficult. I’m a good weight and got in great shape prior. Frustrating 11 months. Now I learned last week I have no cartilage and need left shoulder replacement. He said my pain tolerance is amazing because...

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    It’s been a while since I checked in. I’m close to 11 months and still so frustrated. My knees are still like the moderate swelling picture. It’s huge above my knees and very uncomfortable. I’m working with a personal trainer again and he is very careful and constantly consults with the PT who...

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I’m now more than 6 months out. I’m still sore from mid thigh to feet. When I take my socks off I can tell I’m still swollen due to indentation. My knees are still so sore and very painful after being in a position for very long. I know it’s a year recovery and everyone is different. But none...

    Bilateral TKR Confused on PT pushing<

    I haven’t checked in lately. PT is over and I’m trying to do a little more each day. I’m now 22 weeks out ( but who’s counting ) and still have issues. I turned the corner about 3 weeks ago but I still have the feeling of tightness. I also am still quite sore in my knee area and even all the way...

    I don’t know how in the world you rode a mower that soon but we do that we have to do. My friends who did one sure did better faster. I knew it would be a year recovery but no idea I would still be so bad for so long. But I also know I expected too much since I got in such good shape. MyBad...

    Thanks. I certainly do. I’m not complaining about my rescue kitties but they are a lot of work and expense so can’t pay to have more done. They are worth every penny. Then add house and yard and it’s rough right now but I’ll get past it. I’m really trying

    Exactly. I’m doing a little each day. I pay to have the grass cut and he’s actually weed eating my brick patio. I cried I was so happy. I too have a house of rescued cats. I had 4 sick ones, 3 needing a lot of care. Syringe feeding, fluids, insulin.....not same cat for all this. I had to pay to...
