    Revision TKR Beginning my recovery.

    I’m just not sure what to expect compared to last time. Everything I’ve read said it’s about the same when it comes to recovery. Good luck with yours

    I have a revision scheduled for April 9th. I fell back in December and landed on my tkr knee and twisted it. Have any of you been through the revision? How was the recovery? Was the pain as bad with the surgery?

    I only have one railing on my stairs. But I’m sure eventually I will get their to. I did have a rough start with my knee and needed the second surgery about a year later.

    I’m thinking it’s something I’ll just have to deal with as well. I have great flexion and extension. And my dr was happy with the strength in my leg. I still do stairs one at a time because I’ve never learned to trust my new knee. But I could do them regular if their not to tall.

    I don’t really do to much exercises. I do plenty of walking at my one job. I’m a host at a restaurant. And I’m also a school bus driver during the week. And yes that looks to be about where the pain is.

    I just hope it passes. I’m going to try and get into my os again but that’s at least a few weeks out. And all this grinding and pain is new. I did fall a few weeks ago I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. I was fine right after the fall

    MUA 5 week failure<

    I had an mua about 6 weeks post op. I couldn’t get past 60 degrees I think. It was really worth it for me I eventually got up to around 100 degrees. It took me months to get to where I can fully bend it. Be patient with your knee it will get there. The mua helped a lot with the tightness feeling...

    I put a wet wash cloth on them for a while and it softened them up. Then I let my daughter pull them off. She enjoyed that very much she was to excited to do it for me. Lol Sent from my iPhone using broken link removed: https://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=75543

    I had pt post op appointment today with os. It went good they want to see me back in 4 weeks to see if my muscle is stronger yet. He told me I could take off the other half of steri strips. I'm afraid to take them off myself though. So right now I am soaking them with a wet wash cloth and I'm...

    Revision TKR Beginning my recovery.

    So my husband was nice and bought me a new pair of tennis shoes. I haven't been able to find a pair that were comfy. I put the pair on in the store and they felt amazing on my foot and gave support where I needed it. Hopefully they will work out I've never bought soucony before. Sent from my...
