    Welcome to the February Valentines' 2020 Knee Recovery Club

    I had my 2nd TKR on February 4th. This one seems more difficult than my first one on October 12th, 2017. Onward and upward, though. I'm icing, elevating, and taking my meds. My ROM is at 63 for flexion and -10 on extension. I feel like I'm getting a build up of scar tissue again, but I keep on...

    MUA 5 week failure<

    @funkymuse , that's a yes and no answer. Yes, right after the manipulation, I had to go straight to PT. I went from 70 to 110 that day. Then got up to 135. The no part of that is that I had the flu, was not able to do any stretches or anything, I have scar tissue issues, and basically lost all...

    MUA 5 week failure<

    YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE! I didn't get 90' until I had my manipulation, I had similar things going on. I couldn't get past 70 for 3 weeks post up. It seemed no matter what I did, my knee was not going to cooperate. My swelling was all over the knee. It is definitely frustrating. After manipulation...

    Revision TKR Two year plus odyssey - no end in sight yet<

    @ottothedog, my heart goes out to you. As it has been said to me, recovery is a marathon not a sprint. As a marathon runner, I understand that training and preparation for a race can't be done in a few days or weeks. It just takes time. As does this journey we are on here. Its frustrating...

    TKR Ugh! Arthrofibrosis diagnosis at 2½ months after TKR

    @Josephine , thank you for that. It makes sense. That's exactly what my OS said, that there is really no need to get expensive tests such as CT or MRI, because it usually doesn't show up. He is going on the history and exam he did. He is not rushing into anything, but he said at the same time he...

    Having TKR October 12th 2017

    Thank ya'll for all the positive input. Its a little after the fact that I am replying to this, but I talked with the anesthesiologist and with prior problems with spinals, we decided that general was the way to go. No nausea, or anything. I am so blessed to have all of you. And I finished...

    TKR Ugh! Arthrofibrosis diagnosis at 2½ months after TKR

    Hi everyone! Hope everyone is blessed this evening. Ok, so here goes my rant. I had left TKR October 12,2017. Started physical therapy 2 days after I was released from the hospital. I did everything exactly like my Ortho ordered. At 3 weeks I was stuck at 60 degrees of flexion. He suggested...

    TKR Ugh! Arthrofibrosis diagnosis at 2½ months after TKR

    Hello everyone. I had left TKR on October 12th. I did great through surgery then things seemed to go downhill. I develop scar tissue very quickly, I think its genetic. My mom did when she had ACL surgery. Anyway. every time I go to PT seem to only progress to 70 degrees flexion. And then. The...
