    Thank you all for your input regarding PT and strength training. After 11 weeks, I realized that my PT kept adding more weight to the leg lifts and other exercises. Yes, I could handle it BUT for the days following...I was stiffer and in a degree of pain. She was concerned about my stability and...

    Hello all! What a journey! You guys were soooooooo right! No two knees respond the same to the surgery or the recovery process. This has been a roller coaster ride - up and down and all around! I used the same surgeon this time as I did before. The first knee surgery in December 2018 was done...

    Hello all! Well, my knee replacement surgery went well. I checked into the surgical suite at 10:00am and was back home and in bed by 3:00pm. The anesthesiologist did the block and I came home numb and pretty much pain free. My new baby knee did not start to "act up" until this morning around...

    Thank you both sooooo much for the well wishes. I sincerely appreciate the posts. Of course, I am anxious to go through this again. But, I know in a couple of months...I will be glad I did. My left knee is weary from doing all the heavy lifting. It deserves a break! See you on the other side!!!!!

    It looks as though we are having our surgery on the same day! Jacey is soooooo right pre-op is turning into being a stress filled time! Like you my knee is buckling and sharp pains emanate episodically when I take a step. Ditto your experience with using a hinged knee brace. I am having to wear...
