    TKR Patience Is A Virtue

    Well hello my Bonesmart Family. Every since I went back to water aerobics (for arthritis) my knee has been improving and not as stiff. I am able to go down the stair (slowly) alternating my right and left leg. I did start taking the 1000mg Tylenol and that initially helped with the pain. That is...

    Oh I forgot to mention I am back in water acrobatics and I sign up for a yoga class hoping this will help.

    Thanks for responding. I was wonder how to alert someone when I have a question. As for my activity level I do walk quite a bit during the day. I was doing water acrobatics and chair exercise but I got the flu and that was like a 2 month recovery. So no additional exercise other than being busy...

    It close to a year since I had my surgery. Lately, my leg is so stiff. I can not sit for long periods. If I do when I stand it hurts. It painful when I move. It is mostly sore and painful in the back of my knee. I must admit I haven't been exercising the knee as much. I can't go downstairs...

    I had an xray on my ankle and the doctor did not see anything unusual. He did notice that the ankle was swollen a little so he wrapped and gave me inflammatory medicine to take once a day as needed. After I took medicine the pain subsided by th end of the day. I am still having occasional pain...

    I am so happy I have Bonesmart for this journey. I have to keep reminding myself I am only 4 months out. I am not doing out patient PT but home exercise. I have begun to regularly ice a minimum of once a day. I do the bike from 15 to 30 minutes most morning and some other strengthen exercise...

    My doc also prescribe tramadol 50mg. I haven't had any issues with the medicine. I have started taking on a schedule because I am having issues with stiffness. So I am iceing more often and taking ,the meds along with exercising.

    Even though I am stiffer than normal I am able to bend my knee. It is the muscle in the back that is extremely sore and makes it painful to bend and walk. I do have Tramadol so I am going to get on a routine and beef up my exercise on a regular basis. I got laxed. I had to read some threads to...

    Also my doctor told me if I go to the dentist to let them know I had knee replacement surgery so that they would give me anitbotics to prevent a possible infection and needless to say the same notification at the airports.:heehee:

Up until today I had light stiffness but today was a little rough with the thunderstorms and I kept a heat pad on for a couple of hours now my leg feel like a stiff board (not only the knee). I still can bend it but the doctor said...

    TKR Patience Is A Virtue

    I had a long disgusting conversation with my occupational health area at my company. Bottom line when I go back to my doctor I am going to request if he will release me to work so I can get some pay. I believe all things work together for the good of those who love God! So I have put them (my...

    TKR Patience Is A Virtue

    Well if patience isn't needed for my post recovery it surely is needed for my company who is denying my short term disability after six week because my doctor allowed me to do PT at home. Now I have to write a letter of appeal. They don't realize how they are adding stress to my recovery and I...
