My Husband developed a hematoma after reverse. They tried a guided ultrasound to remove blood and fluid; but it wasn’t done right away and not much came out. He now is doing exercises in a pool which is heated to 90.
I am going next week for my 6 month check. Still hurts when I get up from a chair and when I use the stairs. Also still some numbness and heat off and on in the knee. I am going to ask about acupuncture for the knee. I started to do the side to side lunges again. It only is painful going...
I was in the hospital for 2 nights. PT had me do steps and get in and out of a car. Walked the halls with the PT. The nurses would put the walker in a farcorner of my room so I couldn’t get up on my own and walk around. Started PT the following week after surgery. Did Outpatient PT 8 week -...
Regarding the limp @Baldylovcks13
sometimes I will limp when I get out of bed in the morning or after a very
active day. I was getting bow legged from arthritis before the surgery; so the OS
had to straighten the leg
my ankle is weak from previous injury which I think causes some referral...
I do seated yoga also since it is uncomfortable to kneel due to the numb areas in my knee.

Wow, really?! Arnica Massage Oil, huh? Did you put it on the whole knee, even the scar? I was told not to put anything on it. I'm game to try anything.

Saw the PA today for 3 month...
So I am back from a 1 week beach vacation with my family. Every day I walked to the boardwalk and beach with my Husband holding my hand. This year I only carried my beach bag. I did not take my cane to the beach. Walking on the sand was difficult, but I wore a pair of Merrill tie water shoes...
I am 9 weeks post TKR and have stopped PT for now. I get zingers and an uncomfortable pain at the outside of my knee when I move too quickly or bend the knee too aggressively. My bend is good and flat so I am not concerned about that. PT said to ice as needed and I take Celebrex for other areas...

Hand
