    TKR What to use to help scars fade

    Have been given a date for TKR - 2. May.19 - terrified

    Hello, I’m due April 3 and I’m with you on the scared list. My friends who had it done all had good outcomes. I know PT is a must and living with the pain from arthritis now is awful, can’t do so much. Have to be positive and say a prayer. Good luck!
