    TKR TKR 10/23/2013 - Recovery with RA

    Hi @chestnc, I do hope you are able to make it through the day at work today. Have you checked in with your RA Dr.? Maybe you could get some meds to help you with this flare? I'll be anxiously waiting to hear how your day went.

    TKR TKR 10/23/2013 - Recovery with RA

    @chestnc, I completely identify with that achy feeling everywhere. I hope your weekend of taking it easy will help your RA back off. This awful winter has been hard on everyone with and without RA and then being a recent TKR patient on top of it all really throws it over the top! What social...

    Bilateral TKR Vancouver USA Recovers

    That is all good news, Linda! It sounds like you have them at least attempting to meet your needs. Don't let up either! I think your advice to future patients about only going to a facility that is geared towards joint replacement patients is right on. I don't care what they do from now...

    Bilateral TKR Vancouver USA Recovers

    OMG- the toilet riser is essential at your stage of recovery! I can't believe you actually managed to use a regular height seat. I am 6 weeks out and I can't do it yet and I only had one TKR. Unbelievable!

    Bilateral TKR Vancouver USA Recovers

    Hi @VancouverUSAgal, I know exactly how you feel! After one of my hip surgeries, I decided it would be a good idea to go to a Rehab facility for a few days before going home because I was ordered not to put my full weight on the operated leg and I was having a hard time with that. I had lost...

    TKR 6 weeks post op and doing well

    Thanks @kneeperFA. I have no choice but to take care of myself because of the fatigue caused by the RA. However, I really need to be able to drive soon, so I will be doing my best to cut back gradually.

    TKR 6 weeks post op and doing well

    Hi @Nana moon 27, You caught me! I must admit to being more of a lurker than I thought I'd be on this site. I am progressing pretty well, so haven't had any questions that haven't been answered by reading others posts. I decided to follow you because I am concerned about how you will do after...

    TKR Almost 8 months later...the aftermath

    Hi @Karringtyn, As you know I had my surgery the day after you did so I am one day behind you in recovery. I take 1 or 2 Oxycodone when I get up in the morning, 1 or sometimes 2 Oxy mid afternoon, and 1 or 2 Oxy before bed at around 10:00p.m. I say 1 or 2 because I am now trying to cut down to...

    4+ Weeks post op-I'm getting tired of this!

    Hi Lori,(@Aprilgirl) I am almost 3 weeks post-op and I still need to take my Oxy. Only about 6 pills (5mg each) per day, but I absolutely need them when I get up in the morning and before PT. Last night I took 2 pills at 9:00p.m. and then took 2thisd morning at 9:00a.m. I woke up during the...

    TKR Almost 8 months later...the aftermath

    Hey@Karrington, 17 days out from surgery and I bathed and groomed my 3 Yorkies today! Of course, I did sit and have a good cry when I was finished because I was just so exhausted. Good for nothing else, but sure was good to get that done! They were getting stinky! I've got to go after my...

    MUA Recovery After TKR & MUA

    Hi @scooterdiva, Nope, never too old! I had my RTKR on the same day as you had your MUA. Are you happy with your results? My recovery is going well I think. Getting on to the harder PT now, so am exhausted when she leaves! I am trying to make some progress each and every day. Thanks. Mimi

    MUA Recovery After TKR & MUA

    Hey - me too! I have a Vespa 200cc scooter and can hardly wait to get back out there in the wind. I had ridden a Harley Davidson Low Rider for about 10 years, but had to give it up because of my stupid hips and knees giving me so much trouble. I never had an accident and went on many many road...
