    You are such a support. I am fortunate to finally be in school with carpeting. I totally agree with the shoe thing as well and I have been trying different ones. I hope I can get through this easily. Thank you for taking the time to write.

    TKR Worried...

    I was on this site three years ago when I had a TLKR. Unfortunately right before I had it, I fell on my back. A year and a half after my knee replacement and I was having so much pain down the backs of my legs that I could hardly walk, but pushed through. I walked very differently, bent over...

I also had put this off for 8 years and went through shots and PT as I was frightened. School started August 12, 2015 and I was off until September...

    Knee Infection 4 years out please help

    I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. Although I'm only 10 months out, the thought of infection is something I know can happen at any time. The fact that it has taken such a long time to get the necessary care is a crime. Your continued advocacy for yourself is the only thing that...

    TKR GKnee's Recovery Thread

    Here I am at 10 months post TLKR tomorrow, tax day! I'm concerned that over the past three days the front of my knee is stiffer than it has been. I'm also in some pain that I've not experienced in awhile. It is not red or warm so I'm wondering if this happens during recovery for others. Thank...

    It has been a long 9 months, but at 5 months the light at the end of the tunnel was brighter. I would like some guidance on the stiffness I still feel in the front. I am working full time and live on my own so I am active. My stamina has returned to normal and as a speech-language pathologist I...
