Hey Martha! I am now 2 yrs and 5 mos post surgery. I am doing well with my knee replacement. Its not perfect, but it is functional. Last June I had my bad knee (no surgery yet) injected and my ortho said my range had moved to 120 & 5 on the bend. I was quite pleased with that.
I still get...
Well August 30th passed, which was my two year anniversary of my ltkr. I saw my ortho in June to have other knee injected. I left pt with 105 & -15. I am now at 120 and -5, and ortho was very pleased and so was I. Like Jo always said it's never too late for more ROM. I am also officially...
Happy Anniversary to your new knee Shubbles!! I am about 14 mos out, and I still have lots of stiffness. And just recently learned the hard way, to NOT kneel on new knee. It hurts! Glad to hear you are doing well. Hugs!
This was on my bed, and scared my husband to death, cuz I kinda yelled out. Won't do that again.....from what I hear, not all are able to kneel. I was so surprised a kneel on a bed would hurt so. Hugs!
Kneeper I am 14 mos out from my LTKR and I still get stiff all the time. At my recent 1 year re check I was told this was just going to part of my life. So while some might lose the stiffness, I haven't, and I guess I won't. I can live with the stiffness as its not painful. Just makes my...
Well I did something bad the other day! I accidently kneeled on my new knee! That sh*t hurt like the dickens, won't do that again. It ticked off my knee for a few days and made it a bit stiff. So reminder to self "No kneeling on new knee!" I know some can kneel, but I learned that's not...
Martha I don't think the shots would really do anything for the new knee. At least that's what the doc led me to believe. I do get some swelling sometimes in the new knee along with the stiffness, but I do hope that it goes away sometime. But like Nightquilter said, its obvious this is not...
Well on Monday I had my one year check up (late), but all looks good. The doc did say that the stiffness more than likely will always be around. I guess that's okay, it doesn't hurt, but that stiffness does get a bit old sometimes. KathyH guess we will just have to live with our occasional...
Oh Marianne I am so so sorry for all this mess. Sending you bunches and bunches of healing hugs your way. This is why I am so scared to do my other one. So sorry! xoxo
Hey Lisa, good to hear from you! I am so glad we became recovery buddies! We both didn't have stellar recoveries, but we did it, sliding in sideways. LOL Hope life is treating you well! xoxo Hugs!
