Hello. New to this forum, just found it today as I was searching for information to help me in the recovery process.
I had bilateral TKR one week apart. Left knee on 2/13 and right on 2/20. I am still receiving home health PT. She is pleased with my progress...of course, I want to be done two weeks ago. My ROM is coming along. Extension for both knees is 0, bend Left knee 107 and Right 109. I am still using a walker due to the left knee buckling daily, but that is getting better. Hoping to be moved to a cane next week.
I have a very high threshold for pain, so pain has not been an issue. I am experiencing quite a bit of tightness in the joints and down through my calves and ankles. At times it feels like someone is holding onto my ankle. Ready for that feeling to go away.
I look forward to learning from/with you all.
