    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    I just looked at the Concept2 SkiErg. Great looking piece of equipment. Will have to look into it a bit. I will also ask about additional PT to get some feedback. I like the idea of mixing things up too. I have actually been doing that with some Yoga and Bosu (half ball) used that in PT. Thanks...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Yes, Yoga has interested me. I have the TRX System at home that is suspended from the ceiling. I use this to assist in knee bends. Again I lean back like they showed me in PT so I have a angle and it takes pressure away from knee. I have a new Yoga book so if you can suggest some positions I...

    Hi Susanne, That is a great line: Beginning to feel like the tin man from wizard of oz... I know what you mean. You have been through so much, That would have done me in for sure. I am not looking forward to the next knee some day. It is already bothering me a little but I am sure I will have to...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Ok I have something to confess. When I went to my surgeon just after the surgery I asked him to give me the manual that comes with the knee. It was a PDF about 200+ pages of installation and specifications. So I went for my checkup and he had a student with him in the room. He said to her, this...

    I will keep my appointment, Just don't want to come off as a Nervous Nelly. I am in the Engineering field and I am looking at this as Mechanical and not Soft Tissue... I am looking at the mechanics part of it. Thanks everyone, thanks for keeping me in check. This recovery is a huge mind game too.

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Ok, Ok your right, Actually I was going to call off my visit if all continued to go well. Not a good idea? I don't want to many X-rays either. Maybe I just tweaked things? I will have to say I thought this TKR would be easier than it was. Go figure I see 80# year old men and woman doing very...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    And I thought you would be proud... My PT gave me 7 pound weights back 8 weeks after surgery... started with 5 pound then went to 7. You really think that's to much after 9 months after surgery? I was told once we hit 1 year from our surgery date that what we had would be just about what we were...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Happy to report I did 2 sets of 20 minutes on the bike, NO elliptical, ICE, Heel slides, Bosu balance ball, leg lifts with a 7 pound weight and knee bends today. Tonight I feel 50% better already. Went for a mile walk tonight as well. I tried to do some yoga but need to find some positions that...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Yes, That's the TRX. They had me doing shallow Knee bends in PT about 4 weeks after surgery, 3 or 4 of them. I am going to take it slow this week until my appointment and see what Doctor says. I feel strong, just a little more clunking than normal with NO pain at all. The clunking just grosses...

    Thanks, I think I will stay off the elliptical for a little bit. I have been doing this since 8 weeks out from my surgery but went very slow and short periods of time. I think I will take everyones advice this week and do more Ice and go back to some PT exercises and focus on the knee. Yes Yoga...

    TKR 9 months since my Surgery with problem

    Thanks for the links and taking the time to write. Looks like I may have something going on. Bottom line, X-rays are in order. I have to wait a week but it's worth it. I wonder if anyone in the forum has had this same problem and can also share a story. I am thinking if I stop the biking and...
