    TKR 12 days Post Op

    Thank you! I Had a dexa scan prior to the tkr and I am taking Vit D as my level was low. Good idea about re reading the operative report as I do have it in my health log in records. I would consider a second opinion. Thank you for your suggestions. I hope you hip isn’t giving you too much trouble

    Oh Wow! Thank you! I’ve been a full time nurse for years and this regime has been tougher than 3 12 hour shifts a week! Will take your advice. It had felt a bit over the top with measures and stop watches!

    It’s 6am in the morning day 12. I’ve been seeing PT 3 times a week and doing exercises 3 times a day only using the Motrin and Tylenol. Today I woke up very stiff almost unable to let my mini schnauzer outside. I’m trying to elevate and ice but definitely thinking I may be pushing too hard...
