    TKR Sharp pain when getting up from chair

    Hi I'm almost 3 months post TKR and have done really well ...at least I think I have. I'm really happy with my ROM. I can do stairs both up and down with not too much effort, I'm able to ride my exercise bike with no discomfort to my knee, can't say the same for my rear end and I'm able to...

    TKR Sharp pain when getting up from chair

    I'm 6 weeks post TKR and quite happy with my progress but I have found the information on the forum a God send. Whilst I thought I'd done a reasonable amount of research prior to my surgery and post my surgery I didn't know anywhere near what I do now. After today, actually done some in-depth...
