    TKR Ellejay's recovery threads, first and second

    @SuperSnapper - how lovely to hear from you Mary, and with such good news about your knee. Sorry that the other is now playing up, I felt that I'd rather get both knee replacements out of the way a) so I could have the same surgeon, b) so the main recovery for both would be over as quickly as...

    Hello and Happy New Year to all Bonesmarties, and particularly to anyone who remembers me. I meant to post this yesterday -my three year anniversary - :wowspring:- but I forgot! How did that happen, three years!!?? Both knees (even the 'baby' at just over 2 years) are absolutely fine, I never...

    TKR Nana Moon's Shiny New Second Knee

    So glad to hear your good news (for both of you). I am on holiday in France again, and my good news is.....I am finding that daily use of the swimming pool here is increasing my bend - TWO YEARS ON!!! I am having lots of exercise, walking, cycling, yoga and swimming, more than I take at home, so...

    Thank you for sharing, this is amazing, and just goes to show what can be achieved by some after surgery.

    Don't worry about the bend in your knee - it WILL improve! Slowly and gradually, but it will improve. Just don't force it, you will only cause inflamation which will make it take longer. I found that I was very comfortable lying on my back on the bed with my legs up the wall, this helped to...

    So glad that things seem to be improving @DodgyKnee, I hope it continues to do so. You will feel much better once the staples come out.

    TKR Here we go again

    Hi @Yorkshiregal54 , I agree with others, it might be a good idea to speak to a professional regarding your escapee stitch. I am really well, I'm walking and cycling everywhere now the summer has eventually arrived and so my weight is finally dropping. Nowhere near as good as you yet, but I am...

    @DodgyKnee , I'm so sorry you are still in such pain, as @LoveGiants says, the first week or two is really painful, and I think, if we're honest, most of us on here regretted having the op at some point during that time. It IS worth it, I went from hardly managing to walk 200yards and that with...

    TKR Here we go again

    Hiya, don't despair, 16 days is nothing. I used to get very frustrated with my second knee, but when I looked back at my posts for the first I was actually doing quite well, and of course they will both heal in totally different ways, so we can't really compare them. Don't worry about the bend...

    I'm so sorry you have had such pain-are you taking the paracetamol & Tramadol at the same time? There was a very useful 'schedule' on here somewhere, that gave a timetable of timings and dosages for the Tramadol, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen for a 24hour period, it worked really well for me. I'll...
