just want to update all of you, esp the admins and hosts, who were so helpful. Dec. 22 was a full year so now I am at about 14 months. Gotta say (keeping fingers crossed) -knee feels great. It is no longer warmer to the touch than my other knee - still has a slight degree of numbness. Barely...
Hello All, I am 8 months out from my PKR. Now suffering from IT band inflammation on that leg really hurting my hip and now progressed to outer knee also. Anyone else experience this and how to treat?
I am now walking very well - with no pain in my knee when I walk - and I can walk fast and for long distances.... this despite setbacks I had which I have discussed in this thread. I do have pains in my hip, ankle and lower back.... not every day and not all the time. As I type this, I actually...
Dear Late,
I think you are being too hard on yourself and expecting too much. Most people I know myself included had significat pain for at least the first four weeks - finally felt like I was rounding the bend at six weeks out. I did not use Oxy much - too constipating.... they gave me Tramadol...
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.... To be clear - I do not do regular squats - you actually do them lying down inclined on a 45 degree angle sliding board... they have this equipment at the PT facility, So, it literall takes your weight off and just exercises the muscles. What...
Hi, I am almost five months out. We have steep stairs. I can generally go up one leg at a time. Going down can do a few steps very slooooowly, then if it hurts ( seems to be pulling on ligaments or something) I revert to one step at a time. You are a year out now. How are you doing? I had a...
I’m about four and a half months out, and as posted above, was sick for a long time with fever and GI issues. So a real setback. Wiped me out for two months. Also super depressed. Had every test and scan imaginable for that. It’s post infectious IBS D which is difficult to deal with to say...
So I’m over three months out now. Was beginning to turn corner end of a Jan and came down with awful GI infection fever etc still struggling and sick but that’s another story. Couldn't do therapy. Finally started up again and attempting to do stairs. Was walking well no cane. Trying to...
Best of luck to you and your husband. What a difficult year you have had. Here’s hoping for light at the end of the tunnel and a great 2021 for you! Love peace health and happiness to you and yours.
So sorry! The advisors on this forum must know of what they speak. I've been feeling very sorry for myself because I have damage to tendons in my foot and lower leg and I cannot really do much exercise. Knee swelling has gone down and my range of motion has increased all on its own just as they...
Call the ortho place and let them know how the brace is hurting you, they should be able to make adjustments, add padding, etc.
Found a piece of foam that seems to help. The "brace" consists of fabric with lace-ups and figure eight straps and firm sides. supposed to keep motion limited. a boot...
So, that brace has stiff metal or plastic up the side. Killer painful on outside ankle bone. Also, couple of questions.
1) some serious sharp knee pain in the joint. Intermittent. Esp when any torque happening. Moving leg in bed can be very painful. How long does this pain last?Stopped...
