@PHousley Hello. I usually ride trails and occassionally charity rides. You just have to ease back into it. My first charity ride was at my 9 or 10 month mark and I did 9 miles with no issues. I have been averaging 6-10 miles when I ride but staying away from hills right now because I still have...
@robynw2130 Hello. I don't say this to discourage but I was told by a couple of Dr's and PT that if you go into surgery with 0 extension you will have a hard time obtaining it afterwards. I say that to mean you may have to do a lil extra to get your full extension back. Plus it takes time to get...
@Cementless Hello:
I had one Dr tell me to play it by ear because it may be loose but still tight enough to hold. He didn't want to remove it unecessarily. However, another Dr gave me a bone scan and recommended a revision since the scan confirmed it was loose. I went with the revision only...
Just tried out a new Dr and explained why I thought the opposite knee was hurting. His thought about the TKR was 'just live with'.:bignono: I get why he is saying that BUT sometimes you know when something is off so if you feel the need to continue searching for an answer then by all means go...
@Jockette I wasn't saying I was in agreement that the MUA had to be completed within a certain timeframe. I was outside of the timeframe. I was simply stating what the Dr might tell him so he may want to prepare himself for what he will hear
@Mr Gary
Prepare your self for the word surgery. Most Dr's don't want to do a MUA this far out. They want to do it early on while there is still time to get your ROM and the knee hasn'tfully set in place. They may recommend removing the scar tissue via surgery, if scar tissue is what you have...
@IbeNick Hello. Do you have 0 extension in each leg? Wobbling or limping can also mean you don't have 0 extension/straigtness in both legs and the good leg ends up over compensating, which can lead to hip, back, etc. pain. I am actually dealing with extension issues myself. I was reminded of the...
@Blondie22 Hello, I was 45 when I had my PKR. Before surgery I walked my dogs regularly and biked outdoors. I would say I felt pretty good at the 6 week mark and was back to work at 8wk (due to HR issues, I could have made it back at 6wk). It wasn't long before I started walking the dogs again...
@Jockette Hello. I didn't realize your situation had changed. I knew we had similair recovery time and symptoms.
Well my first implant came aloose and yes, it's good to get a 2nd opinion because no one believed me when I said something wasn't right. I kept having pain in one area and when I...
@Beckadeez
Research 'Telogen Effluvium'. Some of my hair in the back is 2" long compared to the rest just touching my shoulder. It broke off and shedded 'really' bad. I am still thinking it's stress. You may not feel stressed but you went thru a dramatic event that your overall body has to...
@Beckadeez Hello. Thinning hair, try hair loss!! I just assumed I was stressed from the surgery but my beautician thinks it was the meds. Thankfully it wasn't my entire head just some areas so my beautician gave me protien treatments but honestly, it's growing back slow. Hopefully you aren't...
