    TKR Renmusical’s Recovery RTKR 6/21/19

    Recovery from RTKR is definitely a journey. I just haven’t had the energy to start my recovery thread until now. Going into surgery I had <90 degrees flexion for quite a few years and apparently that fact has greatly impeded my recovery. Lots of unlearning unconscious compensation behaviors...

    2019 June Sunbeams - Are you having knee surgery in June?

    I'm new to the group and am scheduled for outpatient right TKR on June 21st. I had a severe medial meniscus tear 13 years ago and also received the news that I had osteoarthritis. I had knee arthroscopy in 2006 to remove the portion of damaged meniscus. Over the years I've tried PT...
