    TKR Clicking

    It's been awhile since I checked in on this site so I thought I would post an update. I finished PT this week and started back to work which is an adjustment. The clicking is gone for the most part. I only have it if I overdue it and get too swollen. My therapist said it's from swelling...

    TKR 12 Months since my TKR.

    Denn: You are an inspiration! I love your poem and today was a great day for me to read it as I am having one of those I need a good laugh days. Public transport to the gym? You are very brave. I did 3/4 of a mile on the bike on day and haven't been able to get near that since. Overdid it...

    TKR 12 Months since my TKR.

    Hi Denn: I'm still clicking too. Some days worse than others. My Therapist said it's because of the swelling and possible fluid accumulation and should go away over time. Then she said, "with some people it never goes away but it shouldn't hurt." The problem is there are times that it does...

    TKR Clicking

    Dear Fellow "Other Siders": This morning during PT, I kept getting a clicking. It was not only annoying but somewhat painful. My surgery was Feb. 26th, so I am not at the 2 week mark yet and don't see my surgeon until next Tuesday. Have any of you experienced this? Thank you!

    Hi! I am scheduled for a left knee replacement on February 26th. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to cancel this surgery, but then when I think of my present activity level compared to that of 5 years ago, I am committed to moving forward. This discussion board is so helpful. I...

    L TKR Feb 26

    Hi! I had an arthroscopy done on my right knee 3 years ago and it went well. So far so good. I took a chance on the left knee hoping it would get me stable and comfortable with just having the injections every 6 months. I had a frayed meniscus and some bone spurs. My surgeon for the...

    L TKR Feb 26

    Hi Everyone: I booked the surgery for Feb. 26th in New Jersey USA. Left knee arthroscopy in May did not work so summer vacation was painful. That did it. Over the past few years I have become less and less active. I am looking forward to a healthy, active lifestyle again. Nevertheless...
