    @Josephine Thank you so much for trying...when I go back to him in another month or so I will ask him for more details--I want to know myself!! Have you had any experience with anyone with peroneal nerve problems after this surgery? From my chat with my physical therapist and some reading...

    @Josephine Just realized these x-rays were pics of the real x-rays that my husband took in the OS office. You probably won't be able to tell much from these? This is the size they show when I click for full size image.

    Bilateral TKR On the other side too--finally!

    @Josephine thank you for your input. Apparently my left knee had much more deterioration and the surgeon had to "build up" something and also the prosthesis is put down lower in that leg. I will try to attach the x-ray for you to see. I thought I'd be able to do more at this point in my...

    Many thanks to both of you..I appreciate your thoughts on my condition. I know I need to be more patient...I still have almost half a year to go. I will see what they think next Monday at PT.

    Hello everyone-it has been a long time since I posted, but have been reading and keeping up with the progress of many of you. I, too, was doing fairly well, until May 30 when I fell on my back and 3 days later began having muscle spasms in my lower back and a burning pain on the outside of my...

    Yes, NuNe, I thought that was great that you did that--stuck up for yourself and your recovering knees! I'm sure your exercise routine now is helping so much more. We are covered in snow too up here in northern NY way up by Canada..this was a great time I think to have my knees done, by the...

    Bilateral TKR On the other side too--finally!

    Hello again everyone; sorry I have not posted in awhile. Things have been overwhelming in some ways, and I haven't been able to focus well it seems. I think a lot of it is the pain meds that I am taking. I came home from the rehab center this past Saturday after being there for 20 days. I...

    Yes, kneeper, they are giving me ice packs for my back whenever I want them, which is a huge help. Since there's no PT here today (Sunday) the therapist asked me to try getting on the bed and doing some simple exercises there which my son helped me do while he was here. My right knee still...

    MUA Blue's BTKR and BMUA Recovery Journey

    Hi Blue, sounds like you are getting yourself on a great schedule and things are working out well. I have a question--when your PT comes to the house does she push you past the point of what you think you can do, or is she still being very gentle with you when it comes to the exercise? On the...
