    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I think I am now at 2, however that is measured. It is improving but very slowly. I am now at 6 mo out

    Thanks, that is what my PT has said, long strides and ‘mosey along’ as he says, not going too fast

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I am now almost at 5 mo from my TKR. I have made it through the isolation of Covid and feel my recovery has been good. I went back to PT about a month ago, my rom is great, but still am having trouble with my extension. It just doesn’t seem to go straight, no matter how much stretching I do...

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I am feeling pretty proud of myself. Just got back from my Dr and he said I am already 2 months ahead of my last knee. I can tell this one has been so much easier, hope it continues. And I have a very gentle pt who believes I should not feel pain. My rom is 110 and ext is 5

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I have had a problem I haven’t seen on this site. It seems I sweat a lot at night and wake up “damp“ every morning. And I am well past menopause! I don’t have a fever and don’t feel hot sleeping, in fact I keep my thermostat low at night because I like to sleep in a cool room. At first I thought...

    TKR Recovering from TKR Jan 28/20

    I had the same pain at the inside of my knee. It hurt mostly when trying to flex my knee. I was very discouraged with my rom. Then after a couple days of taking it easy it just went away. I am told on this site you can go backward in your progression and recovery.

    Thanks for the assurance that this is normal. I have been through this before but thought this time was so much easier( it still is) but guess I thought I was going to recover more quickly. It’s hard to just be patient but nice to know we’re all in the same boat. I love this site to hear what...

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    A little bummed. Went to my first outpatient pt today. He was very gentle but my rom has gone from 97 to 80, mainly because of this new right side sharp pain that started Friday. It prevents me from flexing too far because it hurts too much. I was disappointed because I thought I was doing so...

    That’s what I’m thinking, overdid it in therapy. I’m taking it easy today.

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I feel like I have had a little setback. All of a sudden today I have a sharp pain in the inside side of my knee which makes it difficult to bend as far as I could before. Does this mean I overdid it in therapy today or is this normal. I was getting along with little pain meds and now I feel...

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I had my first knee done 5 years ago and my second Feb 5. This one seems to be so much easier already. It seems like I was on a walker 4 weeks last time and now I’m using a cane but can do indoors without. Pain doesn’t seem as much although it is stiff and working on rom. My dr says every one is...

    TKR New knee Feb 5

    I am now 10 days out from my TKRs . I feel like I am doing fairly well compared to my last one 5 years ago. I can now walk using cane as opposed to walker which is much sooner than last time. It still is very stiff and am finding the heel slides so hard. I just don’t know how hard I should...
