    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    We are TKR mirror twinnies. I got the right done May 20 2022 robotic assisted and now my left is happening on March 17. How's your ROM on the first? Did you find your quads took a long time to heal after the screw holes?

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    17th of March is the date set down for my second TKR - Got my right done in May last year. If I wasn't in so much pain I wouldn't have it done and if my place came around a few months ago I likely would have said no. I am still struggling with ROM. Can't get it straight even with a 10kg weight...

    Revision TKR PT Post revision surgery

    I am really sorry, I can hear your frustration. I am 7 mths post op and haven't got past 105 degrees. I remember the first time I had a bath, I was afraid I couldn't get out. I am thankful that I do a lot of upper body strength work because the other knee is painful thanks to OA. I can only...

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    Update for anyone who hit the same snag as me with riding a bike. I started on a recumbent, increased the distance each day. After a while I found I could ride the upright if I did a couple of k's on the recumbent, then eventually I didn't need the recumbent. In October I rode 210 kms for the...

    Yeh, no, not the ROM, I'm talking about the MUA. The studies show that they are most effective when done within the first 8 weeks. https://bonesmart.org/forum/threads/mua-manipulation-under-anaesthetic-and-adhesions.3656/

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    Hello Newbee, I can relate to all of that. The OA had killed the medial sides of my knees and both had caved in so I was bow legged too. Initially my hurdle was getting my knee straight because it wasn't strait for years and I did really well with flexion until I hit a brick wall. I know...

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    Hi, sorry, big sook ahead. 9 weeks post surgery. At 5 weeks I had achieved 110 degrees but as soon as I hit 6 weeks and started driving, shopping and walking without a cane I feel like I am on a see saw of overdoing it then resting and both make me stiff. I have not found a sweet spot of...

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    Thank you so much! 20th of May I love this forum! So glad I found it. I was told that the ROM I could achieve at 6 weeks would be it, pretty happy to see that's not true. Only at 110 or 115 on a good day, my leg hasn't been straight for about 3 years, so I still have 5 degrees to go while I...

    TKR I just want to ride my bike. :(

    Hello, thanks for this forum! I am 6 weeks post right TKR. Hoping to have the left one done before the end of the year. I discovered at 5 weeks by looking at the xray that there are at least 4 good sized pin holes in my femur and several in my tibia. Even though I was given quite a lot of...
