    TKR Recovery Progress Stalled

    @Sara61 oooh that sounds good, must give it a try soon. I am slightly obsessing on the idea of making cinnamon buns , doing the dough in the bread maker to save on the old arthritis fingers, cinnamon, brown sugar and butter inside and a gooey icing like a cream cheese style icing- next item on...

    TKR 2nd knee, 2nd recovery

    @Sara61 I actually have the traditional copper cataplana pot to do the seafood or chicken cataplana, both of which I have made, the seafood one would be my favourite. I even have a Portuguese cookbook that is written in both portuguese and english, it also has a brief history of the recipes...

    TKR Recovery Progress Stalled

    Just an update regarding the”toe” -finally stopped strapping it, it looks mildly odd and a bit lumpy but may have been that way prior to the double breaking- the foot still swells and throbs slightly, when it gets a little more than slightly sore the shoe comes off and I elevate. It bends a...

    PKR Clunky Knee

    @Ginger1210 Are you using a regular TENS machine on a standard setting- if so this would be for pain relief, it is a temporary fix but I can tell you I certainly appreciate it! It works by disrupting the “transference of pain to the nerve fibres and increasing the secretion of endorphins in the...

    PKR Continuous pain 9 months after surgery.

    @PawelR - actually I am glad your doctor wore two masks coming to see your mother, she was making sure she didn’t run the risk of infecting your mother, the masks aren’t for your doctors protection but for your mother’s. If your mother has covid then it is good she will get the treatment...

    PKR Continuous pain 9 months after surgery.

    @PawelR Do you have a regular doctor who can advocate on her behalf to get her into the hospital or who can try treatments at home to help with her depression, sleeplessness, lack of appetite and pain? I know how the health system all over Europe is under tremendous pressure with Covid at the...

    TKR 2nd knee, 2nd recovery

    Big virtual hug to you :console2:- anyone stumbling or partially falling wrenches their entire body trying to stop the fall. You will be sore (sorer?) for a few days, any chance you could have a neck and shoulder massage from hubbie? It would help with the tension you are currently feeling in...

    I thought I was the only klutz on here! Tripping over your own crutch and almost falling:bignono: You must be feeling very sore from the actual wrench of the almost fall and I know how frightened I was when my crutch slipped out from under me when walking so I can only imagine how you feel-...

    TKR Gardeningal2003 Recovery Thread

    @Gardeningal2003 I had a bad rash and blistering after my knee surgery and used an antihistamine successfully, in my case the rash was caused by the dressing used rather than by pain medications. If your rash spreads further I would suggest getting in touch with your doctor and see what he...
