    PKR 2.5 years post op - LTKR - RPKR

    Hi all..been awhile since I've been here. For the most part all is well. LTKR is fine. No issues with it. It doesn't have the range of motion that the right knee does but for 90% of the time,not a problem. Now the RPKR, that's still a bit of an issue. They did a patellofemoral replacement...

    Monday was my last day of therapy. Insurance company deemed that i had enough flexion and strength that more PT wasn't necessary. Gotta love their wisdom.

    well.. in a few days it will be the 5 month anniversary. seems longer then that. The Dr. is very pleased with his handy work. ROM on Left TKR is about 128 and Right PKR is 138. Walking is relatively normal gate. The biggest issue is change in elevation, ie: stairs/steps, some exercises in...

    had therapy today. they have me do 'heal touches'. standing on one of those step-up exercise platforms(only one set of blocks), with one foot on platform bend that knee til the other foot's heel just touches floor, lift up and repeat. 3 sets of 15 on each leg. TKR knee (left) did just fine, PKR...

    ugh... had therapy today.. after all the normal warm up exercises, PT started his manipulations on LTKR.. instead of holding the flexion for 5 secs he did it for 12.. it's amazing how one can contort the body to get away from pain... it was not kick him in the teeth but it was sufficient for me...

    Just was looking at my surgeon's bill, there was a charge for Plasma Rich Platelet injection that the insurance company didn't cover "not proven effective". Anyone else's surgeon use this?
