    Revision TKR Against the wind

    The social side of golf is a big plus. Actually I think my golf will improve with a focus on balance and rhythm rather than "hitting the ball hard". Thanks for your comments and good luck!

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    5 months since my revision and I continue to improve slowly. ROM continues to improve. I'm now able to use my recumbent stationary bike. I'm also now playing golf 3 days a week using a electric cart and a hdcp flag so I keep walking at a minimum if I choose. I'm also continue to use my brace...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    I haven't posted since early November. I'm now 4 months since my revision. About the time I started my brace therapy to improve my extension. I wear the brace 3 times per day for 35 minutes each time. I was measured Friday and had no improvement in extension. Still 11 degrees bent. I have no...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Thanks!! Here's the name of the device. JAS EZ Knee Extension. I read all the literature and sounds OK. Directions of use stress " painful or aggressive levels of stretch will be counter productive." If anyone has used this device send me a message on results.

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Saw my surgeon yesterday for 12 week check-up. Ordered a brace that is designed to help straighten the knee. Referred to it as a "medieval torture device". If any have had experience with this brace please let me know. I do not have the brand name ordered. I'll post it once I have the name...

    MUA 12 weeks post op question<

    Is this an arthroscopic removal of scar tissue or manipulation under anesthesia? I'm 11 weeks and my stats are similar to yours but I still improving slowly as far as ROM and extension. But my future might require another procedure if things do not continue to improve. I just re-read your...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Thanks Celle & Jockette for the kind words of encouragement. I was having a bad day and went on a self pity rant. I'm frustrated being in surgery/rehab/recovery mode. I am making progress but reality is my body has been thru the ringer the last 2 years. Almost non-stop recovery and rehab with...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Day 75 post knee revision surgery. Had a small uptick in rehab progress over the last week. They started working "hands on" my knee over the last week. Seemed to be slight reduction in overall pain levels. Not major but some reduction. As far as improvement in ROM and extension I don't...

    Thanks Susieshoes & Jockette! Last 2 years have been a super challenge. I'm going to re-read some Bonesmart materials to regain focus.

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Thanks you Celle!! These PT's sure make it difficult when they start with the guilt trips. I've kept a journal for my previous knee surgeries so I looked back this morning to see what I wrote on day 66 last year and the year before. It reads almost the same as if I'd written it today. So I...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    Thanks SusiesShoes and Jaschembra for the kind words and sharing your experience. Side sleeping is NG for now. It's just so familiar and my long term sleeping posture. Tried it 3 or 4 times over the last week or 2 and the results have been spasm/cramp..all have been very painful but last night...

    Revision TKR Against the wind

    New day! Bad night. I've been sleeping on my back with both legs elevated since my surgery. I have no pain while sleeping in this position and when I get up and start moving it's not a bad transition to get up and start moving and walking. Last night I tried sleeping on my side with pillow...
