    TKR Benne68's 1st TKR recovery

    It’s been about 3 weeks, I find myself going around the house without a cane and generally feel pretty comfortable. If I go out for any walk, I bring the cane not because it is necessary to walk, but to be there in the event of a dip or maybe snagging my foot. I remember from my last TKR that...

    TKR Struggling managing Pain

    It’s taking me a while and I need constant reminding, but the BoneSmart method is definitely the way to go. It takes a lot of pressure off when you are not trying to measure up to a standard that hurts! Good luck next week!

    Thanks for your continued emphasis on allowing it to heal! Even though I have gone through this once already, I think that I along with most people have been pre-conditioned to judge improvement only by measured quantitative degrees, instead of qualitative or subjective improvement!

    TKR Struggling managing Pain

    It’s been 16 days since my TKR, basic routine procedures and moving about is generally good. I seem to be better able to control my pain, currently taking 1 Oxycodone every 3 hours and if I am having PT, then I might do 2 tablets every 3 hours for a little while. ROM still limited to about 90...

    TKR Struggling managing Pain

    I feel the same way, although I have kept to the guidelines, I believe I have paid a price for this by missing that extra tablet and being in so much more pain. Since my visit yesterday with the surgeon, he has said to do the extra occasionally when needed. He says your knee has been through...

    TKR Struggling managing Pain

    I will be meeting my surgeon in about an hour, and will definitely talk to him about this. This being my second TKR, I am not afraid to do the exercise, but as you mentioned, if you are hurting, the mind and body doesn’t want to proceed. I think that if I can feel comfortable, I will be more...

    TKR Struggling managing Pain

    I just had a knee replacement on my left knee November 11th, 2021, using the conformist style. Back in 2018, I had my Right Knee Replaced and although functional, it has been sore ever since. Spin the clock forward, different knee, different style, different hospital, and different doctor, and...
