    Quick update on TKR right knee March 2014. Age at time of Operation 67 and at the time a Personal Trainer weighing in at 72 kilos or 158-60lbs. From March until Xmas I can only describe as painful and difficult. Lots of pain and difficult to get knee bending. My Chiropractor has a...

    Bilateral TKR Concerned Wife

    Take a look at my posts from last March onwards and I only had one knee. It doesn't matter who you are and how you think you will get better quickly the fitter you are (I am a Personal Trainer) it makes little difference to recovery time. First 4-6 weeks were to me horrendous with depression...

    PS the blood rest came back ok apart from lack of vitamin D, so taking a natural one rather than the pills the doc gave me and of course sunshine. Also cholesterol was 6.5 and before doc could even mention STATINS I told her the reason it's up is because I have been eating absolutely anything...

    PKR Two weeks in and support waning

    Chubanana. Well I have just written a long post at 15 weeks. All I can say to you is that it is not an easy path. The operation is brutal to say the least. As a Personal Trainer and a fit and healthy 66 year old I thought I would sail through the operation and be back to my normal self in no...

    It is now 15 weeks since my operation. As I mentioned in earlier posts the bruising to my leg and particularly around my ankle seemed to have upset the joint and caused such pain that I could not physically do the exercises given to men by the hospital and the physio. This took almost eight...

    Hi @hopefaith Well I am about to return from Spain tonight. I have had a restful 9 days doing very little but laze on my patio sunbathing. I have used the gym next door 4 days out of 9. Gently on my knee as it still doesn't want to flex much over 90. Extension is a little better. I have been...

    The journey continues. Thanks for the big up on my recovery. Once I got over the "I will be better in a month or so" and realised that nearly everyone suffers the same regardless of age and fitness. I suppose my only advantage is being a Personal Trainer and not carrying any excess weight, I...
