    TKR One thing after another with my TKR<

    Just wanted to update you all on my progress. The quad is feeling better, but still tight once in awhile. It's still whispering to me, but not screaming at me like it had been. I'm doing PT that doesn't hurt and working on my ROM. I've gone back to lightly training my dogs again and while...

    MUA 10 weeks after TKRS and not yet happy

    My LTRK was 2 days before yours. I'm still taking norco for pain and my bend is just barely 90°. Granted I suffered a torn quad muscle the day after surgery, but I pushed my knee and pushed my knee until I was screaming in pain. I even had a MUA at 6 weeks because I could barely bend my...

    You're right. I think we've all had to put ourselves in timeout at times while training.

    If anyone would like to read what I do with my dogs, this is the story of my dog Raven, whose picture is my avatar. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BweLaHo918AaTDMwRnVxcU1YWEU

    Yes, I have a friend with a polar machine she is willing to loan me. I'll ask her for it. Thanks. Thank you for the reassurance. I used to do agility but as the knee got worse I wasn't able to make time so I started focusing just on conformation, rally, obedience and field work. Thank you...

    I was measured at 89° today. I have a lot of swelling today, so to me, 89 was pretty good. I'm at 10 weeks PO. My pain is actually at about a 1, even though the quad is swollen. How long will I continue to progress, do you think? Will I continue to progress? I want to be able to start...

    And this is the most difficult thing to understand......but I'm learning. I'm also a member of a couple TKR groups on FB and I see the push, push, push mentality on there and just wince in pain. I've mentioned this place a few times, so I'm hopeful that a few will find it and start finding...

    The knee is MUCH better than it was a month ago. The pain in the quad is not as horrific. In fact, I've not really had any until yesterday. Yesterday's pain was nagging as compared to full blown screaming. Thank you everyone. I'm used to breezing through surgeries and not having lingering...

    I stopped coming here because nobody ever seemed to respond. I subscribed to the thread to receive notification and never did. I'm sorry. Anyway, the leg was feeling a bit better. The PA upped my meds to include percocet since she didn't feel the norco was enough. She also put me on Motrin...

    Part of my incision looked red today and when I touched it, pus shot out like a zit. I called the surgeon's office and since they were closing for the day (and I'm an hour away), I headed down to the ER. I talked to the surgeon's PA on the way and she told me what they had found on the...

    I don't have kids, so they are mine. This is my youngest Fleece, who will be 2 next month.

    Thank you KarriB and Celle. I am trying to ice as much as I can. I will do more. As to the dogs, no I don't trust anyone else with their care. Last time I did, I had a $8000 blockage surgery on one of them when she also perforated her bowel. Thankfully I've been hurt for so long, even the...
