    MUA for me...I'm discouraged...and a strange pain

    @skigirl I know the machine traveling is not having the mesh under the machine and the foot part too short. The pain up the leg and back seems to be the pressure at the back of the knee. That is the pain I am talking about. Some people do not not seem to know anymore than they do not like it

    MUA for me...I'm discouraged...and a strange pain

    I am finding maybe because of my long legs that the pad in the middle of machine when setting flexon at setting above 75 pushes into the back of my leg and causes bruising and swelling. When the pt was here I showed him and he agreed it was doing that Has anyone else had that issue. It ends up...

    TKR Hi. Glad I found you all

    @happymum Thanks so much for your kind words. Trust me, I doubt I would have left in one day if not forced to by Insurance. We are ruled by that here. I am determined to not have as much of an issue with this MUA of my right leg and the LTKR. It is nice (not really nice but comforting in a...

    TKR Hi. Glad I found you all

    SO, I had my total knee replacement Tuesday and was released Wed at noon. A rough night last night as they had me on a good pain med protocol and you only go home with 5 mg percocet pills every 4 to 6 hours, (even if you can take 2) I was able to get the spinal this time. Makes a huge...

    TKR Popping in to see if anyone else has fibromyalgia.

    @cjf1222 I think that once you have Fibro, all other conditions become worse. My Endo is the head of Endo teaching other drs to be endos at UCLA. Charles Drew U and does many studies on Chronic Fatigue. I do not think I have that but am pan-pituitary. We discussed how my severe fibro was made...

    TKR Popping in to see if anyone else has fibromyalgia.

    @kneeper I needed my labs I just had taken at the hospital for a gp to give me a clearance for my surgeon for surgery. They made a mistake and sent him my labs from the recovery room after my surgery in July. I was so tired after the surgery and aching all over. The labs showed me I lost quite a...

    @hgarcia It is a complex thing, the knowing we need it and knowing how difficult it can be. Two days then a new start for you. I am at 7 days for the second knee. I kind of know what you are feeling. We can compare notes with each other and the sage group. Here is to a quick rehab. Let us know...

    @vallee When I drive an automatic, I am great except when I have to hold my right foot off the gas. It is that holding foot back which I think it is a tight hamstring. PS learned to drive with a stick so drive with two feet. To stop pain I have to brake with left foot like I always do then move...
