    I can relate to the tin man effect. As well as the burning sensation. Lol That's what I experience when I get up in the morning or after sitting in my recliner for a while You would think you would actually feel better resting, but I'm stiff as well.

    Well haven't been on in a while. While I'd like to say I'm doing great I cant say that. My knee is still numb on left, and if I'm up on it too much it swells. I have been icing again twice a day. It seems like I'm not a lot better off than I was the last time I posted. I'm kind of disappointed...

    Well tomorrow is wk 13, thought I'd report in and share thoughts and insights. Far as stiffness not much change since last post. By cutting back on icing sessions to no more than twice a day, it had improved the burning sensation. So I hardly wear ice to bed. My sleep duration has improved...

    Question to you all that are in their 10 to 15 week recovery stage. If you had the annoying numbness and burning sensation did it help to walk more on the knee? I know if I try to walk more my swelling seems increase, but I just cant keep from thinking that increasing activity will help heal...

    Revision TKR Can’t seem to get a win

    Hey Barbender, sounds like you been through the wringer man. I feel for you. I definitely would drop this quack and find another. I'm sure someone here will have a recommendation.

    Having anxiety about the other leg TKR

    I got my LTKR in Feb 11 and I'm planning on the 1st period of November for my TKR so it would interfere least with my business. With that said I must say I dread the thought of going through this again and have joked of employing a swami or Navajo medicine or perhaps a voodoo doctor to psych my...
