    TKR Tissue pain outside of knee

    Right knee done November 28 2025 I had my right knee done yesterday, Nov 28. It went well and I came home that night. I had a spinal block. Apparently they add a "longer lasting" pain med to that and I was OK until I went to bed. Almost immediately the pain kicked in with painful spasms and bad...

    TKR Tissue pain outside of knee

    A 1 year update: and new noise It has been almost 1 year since I had my left knee replaced. I have been able to resume most activities, like gardening but I have a lack of confidence to do some of the other things I enjoy in summer like kayaking. My knee is much better but I still have a...

    TKR Tissue pain outside of knee

    It is 6 months now since I had my left knee done. My physiotherapist as well as others said 6 months to a year to heal, and at the time I did not believe it! I do now , but I am much better now and most pain is gone, but my knees are stiff in the mornings. I saw the surgeon on Jan 10 and he...

    TKR 4 months out and still have an achy and stiff knee

    I am glad that I am not alone. I totally agree with Bfan. A few days ago I had no pain. It was 3 months exactly since my TKR. I went for a nice walk in the woods. No pain and even my hip did not ache. Finally, a breakthrough? However the next day I was very tired and the lateral pain and...

    TKR How often and how far should you walk 3 month post op

    A note about walking. At 6 weeks I felt really good so I went on a fairly long walk. Way to far, and I paid with very sore tendons on the lateral side for weeks. It is better now-12 weeks past the TKR. So be very cautious walking too far too soon. I still fatigue easily and need a nap, I also am...

    TKR Tissue pain outside of knee

    I saw the orthopaedic surgeon today for an x-ray and 8 week follow up. The x-ray showed that the new joint is fine although he had to do a bit more work because I have osteoporosis also. I had "knock knees" so he straightened my leg by 17 degrees. My problem has been on going pain on the outside...

    TKR Tissue pain outside of knee

    I saw the surgeon July 31 and he seemed pleased. I can flatten my knee well to the bed and bend it well past 90 degrees. A nurse took out a rather large number of staples and only 1 pricked a bit so if you are concerned about staple removal, don't be. It seems to be healing well. I see the...

    TKR Two weeks post op

    I am also just 2 weeks post a TKR. It has been very challenging and I have a lot of pain and worry and feelings that I made a horrible mistake. I am still taking some hydromorphone and tylenol and still having trouble sleeping. I guess different countries have different physio protocols but in...

    THR Pain 7 years after THR

    Bare with me on this as I try to explain and hopefully someone has some ideas. I had a THR of my left hip 7 years ago. A few days later I had a big hematoma. It was all inside and with the bandage I did not realise it except the entire back of my thigh was a bruise. Eventually it went away...
