    Thank you, yes I need to have x- Ray, and CT. I'm trying to get another appt. to see a surgeon with experience. But I agree, I wouldn't let that Amateur Doctor touch me. I'm calling this morning to see a ortho surgeon with experience. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Bilateral TKR 1 year 2mos Post Op Experiencing pain

    Referee do you mean trained or strained? I have not trained and could it possibly be a strain? Anyhow I go to Ortho appt on Monday. I fear a revision. I don't ever want to have to do that. If I have to I will. Lately my huband's been dealing with fear of having an arthroscopy on his rotator...

    Facing bilateral TKR and I have specific concern about pain management

    Hi Lunula, I had BTKR on Aug 13th. Before surgery I worried so much about pain. Now 2 1/2 months post op the pain hasn't been so bad to manage for me. I'm doing P.T twice a week, and going to the gym twice a week riding the stationary exercise bike up to 5miles, each time. I still have bad days...
