    TKR Continued problems

    I am at 3 months out left TKR and wonder when I will ever be able to go up stairs normally again . My non operated leg is so tired of pulling the weight but it is very painful to try to step up on TKR foot . Is it going to be at 6 months maybe ?

    Still hurting but finally over the H pylori I got from the meds and I can eat again. At 6 weeks still numbness and swelling so I don’t feel like going anywhere .

    Hi, my test came back H. pylori and I have lost 7 pounds in about 8 days . Maybe you should look at running a test for that. It acts differently in each person I think . I have had it before . Took too much lax. I don’t know . Hope you feel better soon . That is no way to live .
