    TKR Feeling something hard under knee cap

    I had surgery 11/8. I have something similar and was really bothered by it. My old knee did stuff like that! The doc was not concerned at all. I've heard many people mention this tracking issue. Good luck!

    Please don't hesitate to contact the doc on call for your questions and concerns. Hopefully, some additional help and support will be put in place tomorrow. You're doing your best to care for her.

    Hello All! I had my 3 week post op appt with my surgeon today. He said I'm a rock star and making him look good! My flexion and extension is well beyond what he expects at this point. Given that, I don't need to return for 3 months. I did have a bad PTA visit yesterday. Wayyyy too much. That...

    I am so sorry to hear this. Perhaps as you think it over there will be more clarity. This is most definitely a confusing and difficult situation.

    Congratulations on moving forward! I had my surgery 11/8 and also need my left knee done. I'm resting all I can and the motion is returning in my knee. Overall, glad I had the surgery. We can do this!

    Just finished PT. All the exercises felt good and helpful. My motion is on track. The last couple of days were rough and I am feeling better now. I plan to rest over the weekend. My staples get removed Monday.
