    TKR Back Again Right Knee

    Thank you for all the kind words. Broken foot and ankle, yuk. You give me inspiration. You are right, poor knee is now carrying a boot. Thank God I have all these ice pacs. I am upset but I realize some things are out of our control so best just to deal with it. Again, only time will tell.

    PKR PKR on May 19 22

    So sorry about your skin. My rtkr was 5/19. My inner knee was so sensitive to touch. It felt like pins and needles, burning pain and excruciating sensitivity to anything that touched it. I rubbed the knee daily and exposed it to touch. I think it is nerves healing. Mine is finally going away.
