    Thank you Layla! I feel I am in another 'transitional' phase at the moment, doing a bit more walking and jobs around the house, still trying, albeit with a more relaxed attitude, to straighten out my knee, is bringing on aches and pains in other parts of my body like hips and back and my sides...

    Thank you Jockette, my PT has said unless I can get my leg straight I will never get rid of my limp. He has given me exercises to do and I am watching YouTube and adding to them. I suppose I am pushing it because 12 weeks seems to be a benchmark for people going back to work, and I am nowhere...

    TKR 8 weeks post TKR

    Yes the tiredness really is a shocker. Even if you had a reasonable night's sleep the most ordinary things can wear you out. I did my exercises this morning then walked round the park using only one crutch for the first time. I have been shattered ever since!! I still sometimes have a little...

    TKR 8 weeks post TKR

    Hi there, I am in the UK and will be 9 weeks post right TKR on Thursday this week. Please do not dispair, where you are at sounds very similar to me. I think here in the UK we are being offered less physio therapy than in the past due to the underfunded NHS. I know when I had my hips replaced...

    Thank you Jockette. It's reassuring to know I am not the only one! I had my TKR operation on 14th February 2024. Previously I have had both hips totally replaced too, all due to Osteoarthritis.x
