    @Josephine, I would rather know what I can expect from these different issues, than to be in the dark (like I was after my TKR before I found Bonesmart). I am glad to get any information you can provide. Remember earlier in our conversation, I told you I have been sitting with my heating pad...

    @LFitz I was given a refill on the Percocet. Now waiting on referrals to the other doctors. How are you getting along in your recovery?

    She is sending the xray to be read. She said she would call me when she gets the report back. lol....Yes you did diagnose my problem without even seeing me!! I am encouraged because I think that will be easy to correct. This site and you, @Josephine are amazing.

    I agree, sister. I am also being referred to an ankle specialist to see what can be done for that. It is a slow process, but I can tell that my knee is going to do great. I am thinking by this time next year (if I have TAR), I will be all healed up and I do look forward to that time...

    MUA 11 weeks post tkr and struggling<

    @LFitz , Thank you! I have an appointment in the morning to see my primary care physician about getting tramadol (?). I was told I would have to go to a pain management clinic if I needed anything after twelve weeks. I have been to a couple of pain clinics since my accident, the last time...

    The OS that did my TKR said I needed to wait until I was fully healed before I tried to do anything for my ankle. He said at least 6-9 months. Does that sound about right to you?

    An OS who was supposedly a professor for some years in orthopedic surgery. I went to him June 2015. He was recommended by my primary care physician. I never went back. He also said he would not operate on my knee until I had three months on his program of vitamins and lots of protein in my...
