    TKR TKR vs PKR

    Today my PT had checked ROM on my knees. Left knee is 0/115 ( about 4 months old LTKR), and right knee is 3/118 ( 6 weeks old RTKR). When my left knee was measured on 11/28/23 it was 0/125) and I was graduated from PT that day. Now I’m concerned why the flexion is going down to 115 from 125. Is...

    TKR RTKR December 12

    I started driving since week 5. Getting in and out of car is a bit painful, but once I get in I have no problem driving. Only nervousness I have on the back of my mind is since I still take hydrocodone(Norco), and Tramadol in the night, what if something happens. Otherwise I’m driving alright...

    TKR TKR vs PKR

    Thank you Layla for the wishes. Now I am doing fine. My surgeon suggested to take Norco every 5 hours, and at bedtime take Tramadol 100mg. This is working well. I’m almost pain free. Can walk without cane, and take stairs as normal. Thought I can but I am not driving yet, since opioids are in my...

    TKR TKR vs PKR

    This is my 4th week since my RTKR. I am experiencing severe chills, shivering since week two. Looks some medicine is causing this. Also, Hydrocodone is taking away my sleep. Is this normal? I had same issues during my LTKR recovery. Other than these two issues, my recovery is smooth so far.

    TKR TKR vs PKR
