    TKR Pain after 3 yrs of TKR

I saw my surgeon before my 1 yr anniversary of the replacement and he said the X-rays look good and to give it about another year to feel better. Meanwhile, I have moved and recently seen an orthopedic surgeon in...

    TKR Pain and good support system

    It's been a while since I've posted anything here because I don't have anything good to report. Still having pain and my "good" knee is getting worse. The OS says we need to get better with the surgical knee before we do anything about the other knee. I totally agree with him on that. I still...

    TKR Confused and unsure........

    Your incision hasn't closed after 4 months? That doesn't seem right. Is your surgeon aware of this? My staples were removed after 6 weeks and actually my scar looks pretty good now. I will eventually need my right knee replaced but I am not ready to do that yet. I'm hoping TKR is like child...

    TKR TKR 10/23/2013 - Recovery with RA

    Everyone is absolutely right about keeping on a schedule for taking pain meds. I had my TKR aug 28th and for the past couple weeks I only take my pain meds when I over do it. Sometimes I feel so good I forget I just don't have the stamina I used to have. You will find everyone heals at different...

    TKR Pain and good support system

    Since my OS gave me the injection my knee feels pretty good, but I think maybe I'm expecting too much from it. I still can't be on it very long and that upsets me I went to walmart this morning and only lasted about an hour before my knee became too painful to continue to shop. So I lay here...
