    TKR Ok, home & less delirous:) staples anyone?

    I don't know how long it's been since your surgery, so it's difficult to address the questions, however, my staples were removed at 3 weeks and it just stung a little....no big deal really! I believe they like to remove them after 10 to 14 days, but mine hadn't healed all the way, hence...

    TKR Pain Under Knee and Medial Side...Six Weeks Out!

    Thanks for the feedback. All anti-inflammatories can raise bp and the sodium you get from diclofenac sodium is pretty negligible. Still having pain with this bursitis and still haven't received the patch or cream yet. Evidently, it had to be made by a compounding pharmacy in Louisiana and...

    TKR Pain Under Knee and Medial Side...Six Weeks Out!

    Prior to this setback, I was at 0 and 140 degrees and my pain level was maybe 1. I was walking without a limp with no cane, had stopped pain meds at 4 weeks, and was getting back to normal. I was icing and elevating mostly at the end of the day. I was going to PT three times per week and was...
