    Bilateral TKR Bi-lateral PKR August 10

    Hi Bobby, Thanks so much for your kind words. At the moment I am feeling down. Saw my OS on Thursday for the 6 week check. The swelling in my knee has not gone down as much as he would like.

    PKR Seven Weeks Post Op

    Hi everyone, I have reading all of your posts. I had a Partial Knee Replacement 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I have not had any pain, mostly just stiff. My OS puts it down to my fitness, but having said that, I am champing at the bit to get started again. However I will not see him for the 6 week check...
