    TKR Pain 2 years after TKR

    @Mollymax. I apologize ahead of time if all the suggestions are bothering you.I think we are trying to help because we don't want you to be in such pain and it also could very easily be one of us. What about asking the Doctor about a cortisone injection or a nerve block? I hope you get relief...

    TKR Pain 2 years after TKR

    @Mollymax. Try really hard not to compare knees.My left knee gave me so much grief at first thigh pain and grossly swollen and the incision wouldn't close at the bottom etc etc.But and this is so funny how things work out,my left knee might be the "better one" after all.I will bore everybody on...

    Revision TKR Third times the charm- hopefully

    @jboles. I second that motion.This morning I can barely lift my arm I think I pulled a muscle leaning on my cane?:groan: The trip to Disney World sounds great.Are the big kids or grandkids going too? I wouldn't worry about the scooter because that is a lot of area to cover for anyone. Don't...

    Revision TKR Hood1980’s Revision

    I think it has been easier for me re:expectations after surgery.Before my first TKR I had got to the point where I couldn't stand in one spot and could barely walk to the car.It really couldn't have gotten worse. And unlike other members surgeons mine did not sugar coat anything and told me...

    TKR Pain 2 years after TKR

    @Mollymax. Just forget about the stairs for now.You will do this eventually when both knees are done. I think going downstairs is the most difficult thing to do.It requires two good strong knees.My new knee is not ready for it yet and I know it. On the other hand at not yet a month I am...

    Revision TKR Hood1980’s Revision

    @Hood1980 I am not an expert by any means but I have had two knee replacements in 8 months.My second one was a month ago on Monday. After my first TKR I tried really hard to walk " normally" but I had a feeling my other leg was holding me back. I always thought my right leg was much worse but...

    TKR 1 month post op. Weaning off pain medications?^

    @andpeaches . I just finished reading your thread and I am so taken aback by how much exercising you are doing.I think it would be fine all the exercising if you weren't in pain all the time and uncomfortable.Something can't be right.Why not try to cut out the exercising for 1 week and just ice...

    TKR DLR recovery #2

    DLR. I do not understand why the PT really push people to do stairs " normally. Personally I think that doing squats or stairs foot over foot early must be really hard on the knee even if you don' t feel it right away. I didn't do either last time until my leg felt a lot stronger and I have...

    PKR Setback seven months after surgery

    @ottomaddox. I am not offering advice just telling you part of my history. I had my right TKR in January and booked my left TKR at the end of July for Sept.About two weeks after that my left leg really started acting up. I think maybe it was taking on more of a extra load than I thought.There...

    TKR Hoping For The best

    I think I have confessed before just how much I love my toliet raiser with arms. On my second day home after my first TKR I got it as a gift.Hands down best gift ever.I almost cried the first time I sat to pee with that seat on. Spex I hope you are having a relaxing time on your holiday.I know...

    TKR Hoping For The best

    Thanks for thinking about me.It was pretty gruesome.They had to dig a couple out and they left 8 in for now because the incision is a little open on the bottom. I got through it with only one little gasp of pain.I treated myself to a fancy coffee and cake afterwards to soothe myself. How is...
