    Bilateral TKR rate of increase in ROM?

    Hey @Tasmania. I am a few weeks ahead of you. Same as you my left knee seems to be a bit better than my right. Don't rush things, take it slow. It just takes time. Listen to your knees, they will tell you when you've done too much.

    TKR Recovering in Canada

    Hi @SnowHare. I got extra meds from the pain management nurse before I left the hospital and also from my family doctor when I had my staples removed. I have plenty left over. I didn't need as much as I did before surgery. I don't take anything now. Maybe a Tylenol if I'm going to be out all...
