    I went to see another OS and he ordered a bone scan of my prosthetic knee and an MRI of the other. He dterermined that my left natural knee is not yet completely bone on bone and he'd like to try injections to buy some time before it needs surgery. And my right replaced knee has not fused. He...

    When I last went to see my OS in February (my one year apt) he said the surgery went great and the xray looked great. As far as the swelling and pain, he said some people experience that until about a year and a half. It CAN take longer for different people. Because I had a long time ago...

    Hi all! It's been awhile since I have been here to visit because my recovery has been VERY slow. I am 15 months out and still dealing with pain and swelling. It's actually more painful and uncomfortable then before the TKR!! I have started seeing the chiropractor to help me with the burning...

    Is there a way to change the email address associated with my account? When I first found Bonesmart, I signed up under a different username and email account. I didn't like the name I chose so I started over. (I wish I had consulted with someone first... :doh: ) Is there a way cancel out that...

    Happy Wednesday. I had the MUA done today. As of now I feel physically and mentally that it is what I needed to do. Doc said before he did the procedure I was at 45 degrees and after breaking all the scar tissue it was at 130. He said it was "like a brick wall". It does make me feel better to...

    Josephine Thank you for all the information. :) I did read the articles, but I am revisiting them. Thank you. There is definitely a lot to think about! I know I am trying to do too much in my day to day life. I really hoped the 5 children especially the 14 and 16 year olds would have stepped up...

    kneeper Thanks for your response. I was taking Cymbalta years ago for anxiety but stopped for some reason - I can't recall. I wasn't taking it for fibro though.... I will have to check into that. :whistle: Yes, the rheumatologist will be for fibro. That's the route my OS suggested I take for...

    @SadKnee and 60mom thank you for sharing your personal experiences, that is exactly what I was hoping to get... other perspectives. :) There are so many factors that I need to take into consideration, including who does what with kiddos after the procedure. I appreciate you input. Hope you are...

    Hi all, I went to see my OS on Friday and he has recommended a MUA next week. I have read a lot of different things on BS and the internet about when (and if) this procedure should be done. I will be 5 weeks post-op and realize this is early in the recovery process. I have had difficulties...
