    Revision TKR Knee revision fail

    Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I lost the web sight . I had my revision on July 15 and was in the Hosp for the 4 days. The nurses were wonderful and the surgeon, couldn't ask for more.

    Revision TKR Knee revision fail

    Thanks so much. Truthfully, I'm a little nervous. Maybe more than a little. How many times can a knee take before it says no way? ' I'll keep everyone updated.

    You had your FIRST knee replacement in Feb and you're having a second next Friday? That's so quick! I'm having my fourth knee surgery, second revision July 15. That's four surgeries in five years, but they were a year apart. I couldn't imagine doing another so quick!

    Ankle Ankle

    My left ankle broke on April 1, 2020 Didn't even think to put it in my signature. Too many pieces being damaged. I met with the foot surgeon to make sure it's healing as planned. If not, surgery. My knuckle is also causing pain. Giving it a week to see how it starts feelin.

    Ankle Ankle

    Chris, I'm sure you're right. I'm SO off balance. I totally walk funny, my back hurts so bad, and now my knee. I don't have a lift in my shoe because I'm in the house most of the day. And I walk barefoot. What I need to do is sit still for longer periods. It just seems like I get one thing fixed...

    Ankle Ankle

    While waiting for my right knee revision for the 3rd time, I fell and broke my left ankle. I went a week with it swollen before going to my foot surgeon. I figured he'd say it was sprained. Nope, broken fibula. Been in a boot for three weeks. He said if I had tripped going DOWN the stairs...

    Hand Broken silicone knuckle

    Forgive me! I just saw this. I don't know what happened to caused it to break, but I had a new silicone knuckle put in. It wasn't too bad. Out of all the surgeries I've had, this one is the easiest to recover from.

If not, surgery will be required. So, I'm focusing on that at the moment. The broken ankle shows I'm...

    Revision TKR Knee revision fail

    Sorry, I just saw this post. I've had time to calm down and take a breath. It's just been too many things too quickly. I had my knuckle replacement break in July, so had to have that redone. Then I had a Medtronic Pain Pump surgically implanted Jan. 2. I just got done getting that adjusted to...

    The surgeon and his nurse mentioned it will be harder because of all the scar tissue from previous surgeries. And instead of a two or three day stay, it will be four
