    TKR Very tight calf muscle still after 4 months

    I'm walking like a zombie too! The step through is the most painful part of walking. I am not using a cane anymore. I'm doing calf stretches to try and help loosen the muscle but so far it's not helping much. I'm having a TKR on my other knee in a week and a half. I hope I don't get the same...

    TKR Very tight calf muscle still after 4 months

    After mt TKR, my calf muscle was very tight making walking difficult. It's still tight, sore, painful. Has anyone else experienced a tight calf muscle after TKR and if so, were you able to fix the problem and how? Thanks!

    First knee replacement June 27th!

    First knee replacement June 27th!

    Hi everyone! I’m 50 and having my first total knee replacement (left knee) on June 27th and I can’t wait. I had my left knee scoped when I was 31 and and my right knee scoped at 40. Both are bad (I use a walker now). I’ve gone through many cortisone injections, rehab, and synthroid injections...
