    TKR POCTDB recovery thread

    Hi poctbd, I haven’t been on this forum in a bit, we had surgery the same day. Good to see you are doing well. I am good as well. Went to PT today and achieved a zero extension and 110 on flex. Still good days and bad days, but the bad ones are less and less. Worked half time last week and...

    Hi there Glad to see you are making good progress. I am also almost done with oxy, maybe one before bed and that’s about it. I don't have official numbers either, but I would guess about 85 and my extension seems to be almost zero. I am still struggling with swelling. I can’t seem to calm...

    Hi Poctbd, I’m not sure what you mean by tagging you with an @ sign. I am down to about 7 hours between opioids. I chickened out last night and took one before I went to bed last night. I am walking a ton. I am at my cottage as of yesterday and I walked out on the dock five different times...

    Hi Pocgbd! That’s great, same day! I just finished with the PT about an hour ago. She measured me at about 85 degrees flexion and 5 degrees straightening (hope I am saying that right). She was not too hard on me and let me go at my own pace. She was very pleased with my progress and her...

    I found this forum the day after my surgery. It has been very interesting to hear everyone’s stories. I think for therapeutic reasons I am going to write about my experience. Please indulge me and if get too wordy please let me know. My surgery was Monday and all went well. I was able to...
