    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    Greetings all, finally we are getting a few signs of Spring here in Scotland although there is still more cloud than sun! It is now six months since my ankle replacement surgery and I'm assured that things are going well. The consultant is very pleased; the alignment following the fibular...

    Bilateral PKR On the other side

    Hi @Legseleven, Seasons greetings. Just catching up with your post and I do agree with you and others that exercising the patience muscle is the most difficult part of these joint replacement journeys. Your poor knees have been through so much but you do seem too be making progress. Sorry to...

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    Four months after TAR and things are slowly improving. Had a physiotherapy review today and after examining my leg the physiotherapist declared that I don't need her anymore (although if I feel I need / want to go back I can call her before the end of January - after that I fall off the list!)...

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    Greetings from chilly Scotland - need to be wary of ice today. Anyway, I am now at just over 12 weeks post-op and approaching the three month anniversary. The physiotherapist seems pleased with my progress although to me it all feels very slow. I have graduated to a walking cane outdoors and...

    THR Groin pain turned the corner at 9 months

    Hi @Pumpkin - it sounds as if you are making progress but I'm sorry to hear your recovery is complicated by a recurrent Bakers cyst. Hubby had that experience last year - the pain was excruciating - like acid rather than water running inside the calf. :censored: Planning to hire a mobility...

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    End of week 10 and I've been reading threads from folk recovering and recovered from ankle surgery - it seems that I should not be surprised that my ankle is still sore at times! I am moving more freely around the house without a crutch and even find it easier to go up and downstairs without...

    THR Groin pain turned the corner at 9 months

    Sorry to hear this @Pumpkin but glad you've got a plan in place, including a second opinion if needed. Going back to regular painkillers sounds sensible. Hoping you get some relief and answers to your predicament soon. Be kind to yourself.

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    End of week 9 and there are some improvements, possibly partly due to returning confidence. I'm trying to do at least some of the exercises most days, esp.strengthening muscles in lower and upper limb and around the hip. Ankle movements little and often as suggested but, especially at the...

    Bilateral PKR On the other side

    Glad you're feeling better @Legseleven I know what you mean about NSAIDs, my GP seems terrified and put "the fear of God" into me about them because of my age but hospital doctors seem less concerned. I rarely use them but recently have taken the occasional dose (2 x200mg) if the pain and...

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    Eight weeks since surgery and recovery exercises have finally started. Yay! I discovered NHS physiotherapists at GP surgeries can only asses, diagnose and refer rather than treat so I had to wait until yesterday's appointment at the community health centre. The physiotherapist was very...

    Ankle My (TAR) Ankle Replacement Story

    How did physio go? Well it went out - NHS phoned to say physiotherapist had called in sick. Given a replacement appointment at a different site in 10 days time. Beyond upset to have progress interrupted so am trying a different route - physiotherapist at GP surgery: appointment Thursday 8th...
