    @Helizabug - ice it to stop it itching or wear the compression sleeve over it and rib it rather than scratch. Hope it helps!!

    Revised PKR to TKR 3rd Knee Replacement - Am I Bionic yet?

    @lionsm13 Haha. No not Harley Davidson! The only advise I have is firstly, take your pain to a pain management specialist. OS are notoriously bad at prescribing meds for pain and having a proper pain management Doctor will help keep your conversations with your OS isolated to recovery of...

    Revised PKR to TKR 3rd Knee Replacement - Am I Bionic yet?

    @lionsm13 Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it! OMG after 2/3 weeks, I can’t imagine, maybe after a partial. My dentist had a full replacement and was back at work in 3 weeks. That seems crazy to me. I am at 9 weeks and know I am no where near normal yet. Mine was a revision for a failed...

    Revised PKR to TKR 3rd Knee Replacement - Am I Bionic yet?

    Revision TKR Multiple knee replacements

    Hi there , my Doctor said extending beyond 3-5 for a TKR was not good for the knee and could advance joint loosening. No idea if that is correct as I am at a 0 in my other TKR. Still at about 11 after 7 weeks in the latest revision. Worried about it a little.

    TKR Toni Lee Recovery Thread

    Hi there, it sounds like you are doing great. Flexion varies so much day to day and on activity. Time is the best healer! It is just so scary to feel like you are not achieving - for some reason we feel inadequate. Well I would love for some of those PTs to have this surgery and see what they...
