    Bilateral TKR SusieShoes' New Knees

    @SusieShoes, I’m so sorry about your FIL. I lost my MIL a year ago to dementia and it is a horrible disease. I loved your dancing story. I’m not on here much at all anymore as life is mite important than knees are now! This is a new phase of life you are entering, best wishes for you!

    Bilateral TKR Chattalyn-6 months-still use cane for gait

    @Chattalyn, it’s good to see you my fellow Chattanoogan! How do you like all our rain this weekend? Yuck! You mentioned earlier you wondered if one leg was shorter than the other. I know my gait was so off and it caused all kinds of back issues. Everything hurt. Thankfully all is good now and...

    MUA Oct 2017 TKR - Hematoma - MUA - Finally past 90!<

    The Tylenol Arthritis has 650mg instead of 500mg. You have to be careful if any of your other pain meds have Tylenol to not take more than the recommended amount per day. I did a lot of Utube meditation and relaxation music when I couldn’t sleep. It actually helped with the pain. I didn’t...

    MUA Oct 2017 TKR - Hematoma - MUA - Finally past 90!<

    @funkymuse I’m so sorry this has been such a horrible experience. Please be careful with your activity. In my opinion I wouldn’t be trying to do anything on the bike. For the first full 7 days after my MUA my PT only did gentle stretching, but she did a lot of massage. I don’t think my...

    MUA Oct 2017 TKR - Hematoma - MUA - Finally past 90!<

    @funkymuse, I am so sorry that I didn’t realize you had this done. I haven’t been on in a couple of weeks since I had the flu. I hate that you are in so much pain and so swollen. Keep icing and elevating and be really conservative in your activity. I pray you get the range you need and the...

    MUA My LTKR journey continues to RTKR<

    Hi @LuckyKY, sorry I am just seeing your post. I ended up with a positive flu test on Sat, yuck! It’s been a tough few days. You have a baby knee! The people and friends I made on bonesmart were such a support for me during those five months. I still keep up with a few. That was a lot of...

    MUA Oct 2017 TKR - Hematoma - MUA - Finally past 90!<

    Christina, great news about the bend! I’m sorry you don’t feel well but exciting news. Maybe it will start to bend on its own. If not you have it rescheduled and you will be ready. You should know by then if you are moving in the correct direction! Be careful and celebrate:yes!:!

    MUA My LTKR journey continues to RTKR<

    Today marks my 10 month kneeversary! My left knee was 10 months today, the right knee is not quite 7 1/2 months and the MUA is 5 months. I wanted to write and encourage those new ones out there that I don’t know. I haven’t really been on since I went back to work full time in Oct. I don’t...

    MUA My LTKR journey continues to RTKR<

    Thanks @LindaO! I’m so sorry but I just haven’t been on here as I started back to work and life just got incredibly busy! I hope you are doing well. Walt had his LTKR done on Oct 25 and did really well. 2017 was definitely the year of the knees for us. I’m glad it’s behind us! I loved the...

    MUA Oct 2017 TKR - Hematoma - MUA - Finally past 90!<

    Hi @funkymuse, that’s unfortunate about your PT but maybe a blessing in disguise. @Jamie is absolutely correct. I was terrified it would be like starting over and isn’t at all, at least my experience wasn’t. You don’t have all the fatigue like after your replacement. My pain wasn’t anything...

    Hi @funkymuse, I just wanted to let you know I found your private message and sent a reply. I haven’t been on in quite some time so I didn’t see your message. Best of luck to you with your MUA. Listen to your knee, there is hope!

    MUA Stiff Knee

    Oh dear @Josephine. I guess if one had a STD it would be good to have an excellent one as I so happily stated, lol.:rofsign: So let me re-phrase that. I had excellent short term disability at 100% pay while I was out of work.

    MUA Stiff Knee

    Hi, I had my Lt knee done in March and the Rt in June. I had good flexion in the Lt at 135% when I had the Rt done 10 weeks later. I was finally able to get to 90% with the Rt but had a hard stop there. My Rt was totally different than the Lt. I did choose to have a MUA at 9 weeks post op...

    @Chattalyn, vent on! I have vented so much on here for months. There is hope ahead. My venting has slowed way down! Sleeping better has made such a huge difference for me. I hope you get some rest!:friends:
