    TKR Night time knee fireworks!

    Hi everyone, I hope you are well. Has anyone tried acupuncture in regard to ROM after TKR? I'm at 5 weeks post Op and at 60°. My PT doesn't think my surgeon will be happy for my 6 week check up! Regards R

    TKR Night time knee fireworks!

    No need to apologise, unfortunately I have an auto immune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. It's an inflammatory disease causing inflammation all over the body. I used to lose power in one or both legs but luckily with a diagnosis(which took ten years) I self inject and it keeps it at bay...

    I find that trying to stretch out my body usually sets off the strangest if not sore sensation in my knee!

    Hi folks, Does anyone find it impossible to have a full body stretch after tkr? Weird question but hey! R

    Hi everyone, I had my right TKR on October 15th. Every couple of nights I am awoken, often shouting for help, with a feeling of an "explosion" in my knee. I don't know if my leg bends and my terrible range of motion is triggered or is it a nerve thing? All I know is, it's excruciating! Thanks...

    Hey Forbesy, I'm getting staples and stitches out on Wednesday, can't wait for it. Hopefully I can start bending my knee properly. I've had to hire a CPM machine to help me along . I hope you're doing well! R

    Hi, Thank you very very much for getting back to me, reading what I've read already has hit so many chords, I thought the surgeon had put my bladder beside my eye . Already I feel not so alone, Regards and thank you, R
