    TKR 10 months Later and Doing Great

    I can see another year at least if my pain level stays down and I don't fall again. The meds are really helping. Had a real busy day today. A lot of walking. Knee didn't hardly hurt. What I am feeling more is the grinding. I start PT on Wednesday.

    Hi All; No surgery for me for a while. Dr said what I have done is aggravate what is already there. X rays look bad but not much different from the last ones in Feb. Bone on bone in a couple of places. He gave me a scrip for Mobic which is already helping and I am going to do some PT. Then...

    I'm not sure just what my ROM is. Maybe I can find out tomorrow. I was shopping yesterday and bumped my knee on something. OMG it hurt so bad. I didn't even hit it very hard. Even my jeans rubbing on my knee irritates it. I wear shorts as much as I can but it's getting a little chilly here now.

    I sure hope I get a little more bend. It goes just so far and then it hurts a little. As bad as the left one is, I have a lot more range of motion. It is still hurting 3 weeks after my fall. It hurts the most when I get up or sit down. I have bumped it a couple of times and that really hurts. I...

    Hi Everyone; I have not posted here is several months. I had my TKR last December and everything went great. The first 2 weeks were the worse. Now almost 11 months later, I am doing great. My only complaint is that my knee does not bend quite as much as I would like. I have a little trouble...

    I went to my first PT today. It went very well. They were kind and did not hurt me. I will go 3 times a week. I did finally eat dinner tonight but it was a struggle to eat it all. Still sleeping a lot due to the meds. I am noticing subtle things in what I can do again. It is getting easier to...

    Hi Everyone; I am doing o k. Sleeping a lot due to the pain meds. I would rather sleep all day than be in pain. I go for my first PT today. I hope they don't hurt me too much. Another thing, I have NO appetite. I figure it's the meds. I am drinking though. I did a really stupid thing the day I...

    Well, it's all over. Everything went great. I have been up for a short walk with a walker and did all right. They gave me a spinal which I never had before. I was numb from the waist down. What a weird feeling. My right foot is still a little tingly. Earlier, I could not move my legs at all...

    I have ice packs ready. I also made a couple from some directions I found here I think. 4 cups water to 1 cup alcohol. It does not freeze solid but remains pliable and stays very cold for a long time. I have noticed very recently that my lower back hurts on the right side. Probably due to the...
