    TKR My Journey

    I am a converted Bonesmartie. I am not going to Physiotherapy this time with my second tkr. I quite simply will let nature take its course. I take my meds every 4 hours, I ice my knee religiously and elevate most of the day. Just walking and normal day to day life is my physio therapy. I am...

    TKR Helloooo from the other siiiide

    You go girl. I love your positive attitude, and doesn't time go so quickly ! I can't believe that I am 9 days post operation already ! Where did that time go? I definitely agree with you about 2nd knees behaving better than the first knee replacement. I am feeling more confident with this...

    One week done already which is incredible. The time goes by so quickly.I have been RICE ,managing my pain and sleeping. Relax and let nature take its course,the body knows how to repair, you just need lots of patience. Give yourself time your body will repair all by itself. Take care x

    I was just thinking about my knee and it feels like I have a tight band on my knew knee. It doesn’t feel terrible just very different. Also my heal is very numb on the operated leg. I can feel my toes on that foot but not my heal. Any ideas? Best wishes x

    Hi everyone, I can’t believe that it’s a week ago today that I had my new knee. I am doing very well this time, I’m not as anxious and basically taking everything in my stride. Next week the clips come out and I see my Consultant on the 3/04/18. Hopefully all will continue to do well .

    Hi Eeek, how’s it going? I’m so glad that it’s all over now. I came home from hospital on Friday, so was in for 3 days. I’m more confident with this knee. I am sleeping and resting loads. I can manage to shower and move around a lot better. Hope you feel better soon. Rest up.

    Thank you @SusieShoes and @Beccadeez and @Sistersinhimand@ Eeek you are all so kind. Today hadn’t been too bad. I went to physio twice , this was only for 15 minutes . Then the rest of the day I rested on my bed. I should be going home tomorrow, but it depends on my blood pressure as it has...

    Day one: Had a very good day today . Making good use of the numbness still in my knee. I managed to sit in my upright chair and bend my knee without any pain or discomfort to 100 degrees. This leg is so so much different from my left knee. Day two: it’s 4.15am in Blighty. Just woken up in a...

    Thank you @SusieShoes, yes all done now. I am up and about today. Sitting in the chair I already have a 90 degree bend. This knee is so much better than my left. I am taking it easy and not being too brave when it comes to pain relief. I’m very lucky I am being looked after very well.
