    TKR Still using walker

    I'm happy to report back that I went to PT today and talked with the therapist. He was very attentive and caring. When I told him I thought it was from his pushing down on my knee - he immediately said "we won't do that anymore!" Today he did mostly soft tissue massage and only one simple...

    TKR Still using walker

    Hi everyone! So I was at PT yesterday. I'm still having such a hard time (I didn't expect to be healed at this point, but didn't expect to be having such a hard time). I'd actually thought I'd been doing better the couple weeks. I'd begun to hold my leg straight instead of out to the side when...

    TKR Still using walker

    Hi everyone, I had my TKR on August 9. I'm still using my walker. I've tried the cane, but it isn't successful. Has anyone else still been using their walker 5.5 weeks after surgery? It's getting discouraging. Thank you.

    THR Four months out and pain in specific area

    Hi everyone, I had my second THR on May 18. I'm having pain in a specific area, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I've attached a photo and marked the area with 2 coins. This didn't happen with my first. Thank you!

    THR Equipped with my new hip!

    After I last posted, things got dark. I felt so depressed and not much good for much - other than a drain on my husband. I do suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD, so I somehow thought I could miss that part of the recovery since I've "been there and done that". I did a lot of crying and...

    THR Equipped with my new hip!

    Just an update on my end. Five days out, I'm feeling mostly just energized and a general sense of it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. Yesterday I even thought the gall bladder removal might be a worse sugery than this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm not planning date night or anything - I'm just...

    THR Equipped with my new hip!

    24 hours ago, I was in pre-op. Now I'm packing my bag and getting my discharge papers. I can't get my head around what a day it's been, but I am not complaining. Feelings of gratitude for sure.
