    TKR Slipping and Sliding?

    Thanks for the input Susie! You definitely nailed the sensation to a tee! I went to the doc today. They took xrays and he examined and talked to me. He is pretty confident that the problem is my ankle. He said since my leg is now straight, the ankle is adjusting to that. He suggested a...

    Sleep Apnea

    I need a TKR but also have sleep apnea. The surgeon said I should be prepared for more pain during recovery because they will have to limit the amount of narcotic pain medicine due to the OSA. My BMI is 50, and I really need to lose some weight. The OSA should improve as well as an easier...
