    TKR Going on 5 month post RTKR.

    I had my four month check up last week. This knee (left- revision from partial 9 years ago) is doing great! I mentioned to surgeon that my RT knee still had pain, possibly from fall at 6 months. X-ray showed all aligned well & looking good for both. So, on good days they are doing well. I notice...

    Revised PKR to TKR 4 Weeks Out Left TKR

    Hi, and thank you! The fall I took ( around 6 week mark) caused my recovery to be behind at least 2-3 weeks. At 2 months I was much further along with right knee than this one. Still have pain, need breaks, swelling, and flexion not coming along as well as I’d expected. But I’m plugging along...

    Revised PKR to TKR 4 Weeks Out Left TKR

I have to say that my PT’s had me doing all the not recommended exercises and machines for my R Knee replacement. Took forever. This knee I’ve said no thanks to the PT’s pushing on my knee to get more flexion...

    Thank you for response. Surgery is getting close & Im getting everything put away & ready for house/pet sitter. Meals in fridge etc. Most anxiety about pain meds. I found out( the hard way) I’m allergic to oxycodone & they need to find something else!

    Thank for the reminder of only 5 months into a year long recovery. My range of motion is over 110 , but not to 120, last time PT checked. Right Just a bit less than Left. I’ve since stopped PT. I am functional on both knees at this time. I ride my exercise-bike, do some exercises ( both...

    Is it normal to continue to have significant discomfort walking or sitting for long periods at 5 months? I cannot seem to get to a mile walking yet- at one stretch.
