    TKR One Year Update: problems cycling

    Kim! I've thought about you! How are you doing? How's your knee? It's funny, I was riding the bike trail so much that I was getting a little bored, but oh I would *love* to be on that trail now. Thank you for your post, Roy. I took my Shimano clipless pedals off and have platforms on now...

    TKR Not a new patient but I need help, lots of it

    Hi Texaslady, I was in a *lot* of pain for the first couple weeks. I had to be faithful about the pain meds. It *will* get better! I had my icing machine running all day and night for quite a while.

    TKR One Year Update: problems cycling

    TKR One Year Update: problems cycling

    @dianehelen - I haven't iced at night for quite a while (about a month?) because I got so tired of the tubing getting in the way when I would toss and turn. I do enjoy the ice in the afternoon and evening. My knee was a bit sore this morning, so I iced it while working. I would say that as long...
