    PKR Bilateral patellofemoral KRs<

    So here is an update. The Dr. I called for a second opinion at Mayo in Rochester sent me a letter saying he turned me down for an appointment. He said that he had nothing else to offer me that would be different or better than what my current OS was telling me. So I decided to go ahead with the...

    @Jockette i am sorry you are still having problems also. I also had lateral release but don’t know if that is my problem. There is pain there when I stand up but the obstruction seems to be in front of the knee for me. It is so confusing, it drives me crazy, not knowing how to fix it. Is it...

    Well it has now been 9 months since my bilateral PKR and I havent posted in quite a long while. Unfortunately, I still have pain, stiffness and "that hunk of wood" feeling (as @Jockette says). It is very disappointing and upsetting. My main issues are if I have my knee bent for a while and...

    My PT measured my rom as 128 on right and 125 on left. -1 flexion on both. So good there at least. Should my walking be smooth feeling and more normal by now? I have never needed a cane and my gait is normal, just have stiffness and wierd feeling, and of course I walk slower. Feel old..:bawl:

    Where I am at: 11 weeks post op. Can walk up stairs leg over leg, but not easily. Going down is harder bc of my left knee. Feels like bone sticking in the front of the knee. Not free movement. Ride stationary recumbent bike 10-15 min. Once or twice a day. Walk about 7 blocks at most as muscles...
