    TKR 'Need some postive re-inforcement regarding Conformis knee'

    Thank you for this thread. I’m two years out and still in pain. I saw a revision specialist who said one part is too big. I go for a bone scan Tuesday. While I don’t look forward to doing this again, I too am worried about it getting worse. I do wish there were more stories about revision and...

    Revision TKR Knee revision surgery

    Sorry to hear you’re having revision. I am heading that way and am a nervous wreck about the outcome. My doctor approved anxiety medication morning of my original surgery as long as I told the nurses I had taken it. If you take it be sure to tell the hospital when you arrive. But, when I told...

    Knee Infection* Infection TKR

    Yes, thank you. I’m icing it now, and also wearing a compression sleeve while taking it easy today. This didn’t help before surgery, but hopefully will now. Would like to find a way for it to not flare like this upon very little activity.

    Knee Infection* Infection TKR

    Thank you for setting me straight on how to post. I’m not good at this tech stuff. Thank you also for the reply and info about Baker’s cyst. I must admit, I’m really discouraged. Most of my pain before TKR was behind knee supposedly from Bakers cyst I was told caused by OE. Now that the swelling...

    Knee Infection* Infection TKR

    Happy new year everybody. I’m seven months from left TKR. Coming along fine, not super fast, but fine. I had a bakers cyst before surgery which doctor said would be gone after. However, I’m pretty sure it’s back. I’ve got pain behind knee and fullness exactly like before surgery. I have an...

    Revision TKR Post good wishes for Jo's knee revision here!

    Hello, I have been a member for less than a year. I had my knee replacement on May 28th. I can’t tell you how many times I would have been in a panic (including even now almost three months later and still in a little pain) about pain, lack of progress....if not for you and your advice. I also...

    Concerned that my ortho surgeon does not use tourniquet during TKR.

    I’ve had many problems from the tourniquet. I’ve read that it isn’t used as often these days. I wish my doctor hadn’t used one.
