    Hello everyone, it has been well over a year since my last update. I became a full time caregiver for my mom in early 2019 sadly she passed in March. I do have many questions and do hope I am in the correct place. I had my total right knee replacement on July 2, 2018. Of course there were some...

    Should I still have pain and discomfort sometimes it it's sharp up above the knee cap and below down the front of lower leg. Sometimes lately in the back outer edge is also sore.

    Oh ok, that's why I wanted to ask my question. It has never turn black and blue like this before but it's been sore before of course. It's also been giving out for the last couple of weeks but you know, it seems like it really never stopped doing that completely for an extended amount of time...

    Thank you, the black and blue started after going shopping a few days ago. I was doing good but my mom needed me to lift a box of dishes into the cart for her. Thing just quickly went down hill after that. By the time I got home the knee was really swelled and had turned black and blue around...

    Thank you jockett, I was not sure about how to jump in. I get on here and read posts often and hope to find someone that is having the same issues. Doesnt always work that way though. Also I did not really consider that. This was a much bigger procedure so maybe not the best for sure. Just...

    Thank you for the quick response Jockette. I was hoping the aqua therapy would help as I had been through it after my last scope to clean the knee up. But I agree with you on the false security I shall rethink the aqua for sure. Have you ever heard of the sudden bruising I talked about? This...
