    TKR 22 month post TKR update and it's not good^

    I had a TKR done mid January 2016. Recovery was long, painful and very slow. I had difficulty standing and walking for more than 10 minutes at a time.

I was also quite swollen for a long time so any movement increased the inflammation. I was also "guarding" a great...

    Although I have lurked around on this website for 7 months now, this is my first post. I had a scope done in 09/15 with a LTKR 01/16. It has been a long slow recovery but I feel like I have finally turned the corner in my recovery. So I understand the struggle very well. Hopefully some of my...
