    Hinged Joint 8 month regression^

    @Tanya76 Just take it one day at a time. I had my TKR Nov. 6th and feel helpless, my emotions are bouncing off the wall, and I am restless. My pain pills are making me sick at my stomach, even taking Prilosec, but not helping, so I am trying to get by therapy using Tylenol and don't know if I...

    4 Days to go, and totally unprepared

    It's getting closer and closer. My TRKR is tomorrow, the 6th. Since hospital stay is only a day or two not a lot to pack. I'm packing few toiletries and couple pair of jogging pants and t-shirts. Although I've had total replacement on left knee I'm still getting up tight and nervous...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    Sorry, @bottomshollow, I'm still trying to figure out how to do things on the site. Thanks for moving my post to right area. I really enjoy reading all the experiences and everyone coming together to lift everyone up before and after surgery.

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    Had my pre op today so realizing how quick Monday is getting here. The nurse said things had changed since I had my last TKR in 2010. Mainly that the doctors send you home a lot quicker, in some instances just stay in hospital one day. She said I would have pain management and they would be...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    My surgery is at 2:30 so don't know when discharge will be, probably next day. It seems nowadays they push you out of the hospital as quick as they can, (insurance companies I'm sure cause some of this). I am so enjoying this forum. So much information and to know someone else is telling...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    @Josephine , Thanks for the info. My PA said I would probably go home the next day after surgery. He said patients do better at home because they are more comfortable and will have to get up and move is the reason for next day discharge, provided you can manage to get in and out of bed, walk...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    @SpaceGirl, I will have you in my prayers. Your surgery is 1 day after my birthday. I was down with my other TKR on my birthday too. I had posted August but it was October. The hospital just called me at work and did my preregistration and I go for Pre-Op Tuesday, Halloween, of all days. So...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    @Celle. My surgeon told me he understood me not wanting to have another TKR since my other one is not good. I also am having it done at a different hospital. Even the Physician Assistant said this hospital was better with the pain control. So I am putting my trust in him and faith in God to...

    Right Total Knee Replacement

    When I stand on it for more than 10 minutes it feels like it expands inside and goes numb. My knee, leg, and ankle swells. After one year I went to my surgeon and he said everything was fine. (Of course he would say that). Standing on it for lengthier time and it will hurt. In my therapy I...
