    TKR Two TKR in two weeks---let the fun begin!

    My husband had a different surgeon, same practice, both of our surgeons are top notch. They say one issue I have is I heal very fast and I lay down a lot of scar tissue. My right knee's scar is ugly but it moves great. I use Flexeril. I will say, since I started using the brace and muscle...

    PKR Oops, I did it again...Round 2 complete!

    Okay here is one for you! I noticed both my husband and I have a little fat or puffiness above our knees. I asked the PT and OS if that will go away and they said no! There will always be puffiness because of the replacement. So instead of having a FUPA we have FUKAs! :rotfl:

    Hey all I am still alive and still fighting! I am now wearing a Empi Advance Dynamic ROM brace at night to try and gain some extension in my left knee. I like the brace because it is gentle. When I was fitted with it they started at 2 lbs of tension. The rep. for Donjoy talked for awhile...

    I wish I knew! My PT told me to keep doing my stretches at home otherwise it will stiffen up again. How long before it "catches" ? Today after the MUAs I had 126 on right knee and 102 on left!

    Last night I actually slept on my stomach, I have not done that in years! My knee were flat on the mattress! Today is mantra day! Ice, elevate and medicate. Not too much pain yet but I just woke up.

    Well good news no scope on my left knee but the OS did do bi-lat MUAs. Once they had me under, the OS was examining my knees closer and decided to go that route. Been home 30 minutes, right now I feel okay ... will see once local wears off.

    No reason, and yes Craig is having his surgeries Nov 1 and 4th. After his surgeries he is going to an acute rehab facility and then his parents for a bit.

    I have the gravity fed Cyro cuff and I love it! When I first came home I used Ice in ziploc bags because I needed a colder temp.
