    TKR Questions & Concerns on scheduling my TKR this year

    So I have a few questions about timing the TKR surgery. I saw a surgeon again this spring regarding a TKR on my left. I have put this surgery off since 2020.. first because other surgeries/issues took precedence. Honestly right now I am also a bit "surgeried out" if that makes sense Now, I...

    TKR Hyaluronic acid joint injections & other therapies?

    So from what I can tell with my experience on this knee is that it has been like this since after my hip replacement and has gradully gotten worse. A torn miniscus according to the MRI. I can't wait to actually see a "real" surgeon and hear what he thinks vs pain management. And, it is...

    TKR Hyaluronic acid joint injections & other therapies?

    I am FINALLY scheduled to see a surgeon this month! In the mean time, I went to pain management today. I really like my pain management doctor--he is very nice and normally I have a fairly positive experience with him. Today, for some reason, I saw a different person than my regular doctor...

    TKR Hyaluronic acid joint injections & other therapies?

In the mean time they have ordered MRI for my knee; I have a large lump on the back of it and cannot bend very well.. the pain level has gotten to where I need to...

    TKR I'm 36 and I'm running out of Options

    Someone told me prior to my THR that I "just had a little joint bursitis that could be worked out" in the gym and by walking! I totally agree.. and don't get me wrong movement is important, but I think that was my point too....I still have some friends who believe that arthritis "can" be...

    TKR I'm 36 and I'm running out of Options

    I can certainly relate to this.. with a THR, and 2 spine surgeries under my belt-both lumbar & Cervical I can attest to this phenomenon with doctors. I am on a search for an alternative treatment for my knee condition (which has gradually gotten worse right after my hip replacement) and was...

    Spine Sacral Iliac Joint Fusion and Lumbar Fusion

    :rotfl::heehee::thankyou: I think I totally agree with that @NightQuilter .. It is interesting that you say they didn't want PT after your fusions for 6 months yet these doctors are recommending it. I really feel in some ways that it is making matters worse. Rest seems to be the only thing that...

    THR New Right Hip Burning Pain

    @DGrant thank you for that.. I do remember now that this was the leg hit the hardest in the car accident + I have had a lot of tingling and it completely going to sleep while sitting. I will mention this to the neurologist - my neurologist was the one that wanted the Osteo's opinion and may...

    Spine Sacral Iliac Joint Fusion and Lumbar Fusion

    I am starting to think that the PT may have triggered this worse.. i think it was already there since my right hip was compensating for things .. possibly.. but PT was stretching that leg and telling me they were "flossing" the nerve

    Spine Sacral Iliac Joint Fusion and Lumbar Fusion

    Hi folks, I started having a burning pain in my right hip - have been to 2 doctors one, neurosurgeon and one orthopedist specializing in hips. I was told that i had hamstring tendonitis. I am just wondering if these spinal surgeries have aggravated my leg muscles or hamstrings. I was doing PT...

    THR New Right Hip Burning Pain

    The orthopedist x ray and told me I had "hamstring tendonitis". I didn't know that hamstrings are in your rear muscle? Since I have had cervical, Left hip replacement and now lumbar/sacroilac surgeries he looked at my record and said "wow you have a lot of metal in you" "you are too young to...

    THR New Right Hip Burning Pain

    @Going4fun and @Schaargi thank you! Per the Neurosurgeon they are referring me to an ortho and also xrays. I wish that it was just angry tendons and they will calm down. I know my knees did with lots of rest.

    THR New Right Hip Burning Pain

    Hi folks, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with these symptoms. I have had a Left THR but now my right is in pain. The pain seems to radiate out to the groin but mostly it feels like it is right on the area where I sit on the right side.. sitting on ice helps, and the pain is...
