    TKR Lacy21's Recovery Thread^

    Hi Lacy, I am going through something similar albeit sooner than you. I had BTKR on 10/22. My ROM is -14 and -10. My surgeon is not happy and wants to do an MUA on both. I now have a brace I wear as much as I can stand it to straighten them. I have a massage therapist every other day and PT...

    Hi Everyone! Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. I hope you are all recovering well and pain free. I would love to ask your advice! I had a BAD check up with the OS at 7 weeks out. She was very concerned with my ROM. The flexion is fine at 115 and 105. BUT the extension is only -14...

    @pumpkin, I am having the worst time changing my name and changing the title of this thread. Is there any way you can change it to "Sad Knees" for me? If not, directions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Everyone, I had a BTKR on 10/22/15. I have had my ups and downs. The surgery was late in the day and I spent that night and all the next day in recovery totally nauseous and vomiting. I couldn't keep any pain meds down. I am not sure why I was sick. I had a sedative and an epidural. I...

    I am having a BTKR two weeks from today. I will stay in recovery overnight regardless of the time of day my surgery is to be monitored closely. I will stay in the hospital for 4 nights and then move to rehab where I will stay 7 to 10 days before going home. I think one day in the hospital is...

    @Slainte So interesting about the salt and swelling. I had recent surgery on my face near my eye for skin cancer. It is barely noticeable anymore unless I eat sushi and the next morning my entire eye is filled with fluid. We don't cook with salt in the house and I am sure it helped your...

    Welcome @Slainte! You too can be a feisty! It also sounds like you are a TKR pro already. Looking forward to what you can teach us and to supporting everyone.
