    Bilateral TKR Adjustable bed?

    I used a hospital bed after my last surgery. I found it was helpful to me after that surgery. With my prior surgeries I found that I was more comfortable sleeping in my recliner for several weeks afterwards and then did just fine in a regular bed.

    TKR 2 months post op

    Hot compresses to your knee would just bring more fluid into the area and cause the swelling to increase. Ice is what is needed for the foreseeable future.

    TKR Toni Lee Recovery Thread

    If the physical therapist keeps pushing at your knee when you told her to stop that would be assault which is a crime! You don’t need that sort of ‘therapy’ to continue as it is of no help to you. I hope your visit with your OS this week goes well and you can get your medications set up so...

    TKR Toni Lee Recovery Thread

    I'm glad that adding Tylenol has helped with your pain. Just be sure you are not taking any more than 4,000mg a day total. Make sure that any of your other meds do not contain acetaminophen (Tylenol) and put you over that limit.

    Knee Infection* Right knee has been replaced

    Some of the stiffness in my left knee is finally starting to get better even after all this time after my revision. I don't know my measurements for ROM but it seems to be getting better by the week. Then I have my right knee which stays as stiff as it has been and can't get much past 90...

    TKR Aug 20 hard work.

    You’re right that everyone is different. All of our knees were at different degrees of disrepair prior to our TKRs. The swelling should slowly be going down as long as you are icing and elevating and not doing too much with your new knee. Walking is fine. If you notice your swelling...

    TKR Terry's knee story

    That’s great that your ROM has grown. As the swelling continues to go down your ROM will continue to improve.

    MUA ACL Allograft and Meniscus Repair

    I had a PT do a manipulation on my knee after my first TKR. He put his full weight on my leg and forced it to bend. I cried and he just continued. Unfortunately I had not found this forum before that happened. I let him do it and didn’t think I had the right to stop him. I know better now.

    Knee Infection* Infection next phase

    Your knee will stay warmer than the other even if it’s just from swelling. I hope your blood work begins to drop again and your infection clears soon.
