    MUA 10 weeks after TKRS and not yet happy

    Reading this makes me wonder if my swollen knee is because I am not taking enough meds. I'm 6 weeks out and struggling with pain and swelling. Yesterday PT only did a massage and a big of stretching because my knee was warm and 2 inches larger than my other leg. She asked me what I did over the...

    Revision TKR CUBBY217's has a new Oxinium knee implant!

    I did 5 rotations on the recumbent bike today at PT after rocking on the bike, albeit backwards and not forward. LOL I am up to 90 ROM and did better at PT today. I can't believe that pain when at rest. Still taking the Hydrocodone but trying to limit it to 1 instead of 2. Going to see if I can...

    It's been four weeks today and I did rest in rehab with limited exercising. The pain today caused me to have a meltdown. The Vicodin is making me nauseous, the Lasix is making me week and my knee is still swollen and red. So discouraged but I was warned that the revision would be more...

    Hi Jamie, >>Many times the pain doesn't occur immediately and increases 12-24 hours after therapy or activity. The only thing absolutely necessary in these early days is walking to the bathroom or around your room a bit every hour or so along with gentle bends and stretches. No bending that...

    Revision TKR CUBBY217's has a new Oxinium knee implant!

    Had my revision surgery on Jan. 31st and have a Oxinium. Interesting thing is that drew blood and someone, not sure if it is my OS, is going to do research on metal allergies. My OS walked into the room and said "I am so sick of hearing about nickel and metal allergies". I was taken aback until...

    TEST RESULTS ARE IN FROM DENVER!!!A My nickel test came back normal. They did put a rush on it for me. I feel so stupid for going through all this for nothing. Now I don't now what to do. Surgery is the 31st. Do I call the OS and tell him he doesn't need to put in an Oxinium knee anymore?

    Quick update. I did order the Nickel test from JNL in Denver. No results yet. Surgery is the 31st, my mom's 96 birthday. I am getting an Oxinium knee as far as I know. OS says he will not know anything until he gets in there but my diagnostic codes showed loosening of knee. I am also moving...

    @Josephine You are amazing wealth of information! As for the infection vs. all the antibiotics that I had in 2012, I meant that I wonder if I actually already had an infection in knees and the antibiotics worked to clear them as the two aspirations I had done, showed no sign of infection.

    They never really found out except for the reactive mesothelial cells in my lungs and my pulmonary doctor said that is normal.

    I'm throwing this out here because I am not sure I have mentioned this but I read something about what could happen after you have a replacement without knowing that you might be allergic to nickel, I had my Exactech LTKR on 3/2/2010 and my Mako L Partial on 6/14/2011, I had a dermatological...
