    TKR Medan's Recovery

    Judy B, thanks for the endorsement. I would not say that I am pain free because my muscles/tendons etc are still healing and I am diabetic so maybe that is why the healing is taking longer????? I just hate the way my LTKA feels but eventually I know that I will get used to not comparing it...

    Martha, thank you for the Graston Technique information. Yes, I will add any additional information to your thread as I go along. So far, I've only had one session. My PT used different tools and was very aggressive especially on my incision!
