Hi to all! Prayers that everyone is finding moments free of pain.
Just a quick catch up! My March 29th surgery ended with a shifting of my lower plate ( see attached).Had the revision 32 days later April 26! All went well! I am now 6 weeks post op and my knee recovery is on schedule! The problem...
Well, my recovery is up and down! Tomorrow is beginning week 5 and I am so unhappy! My progress was going so well then…I am also a chronic back pain patient (left side failed decompression surgery in2017). Anyway, suddenly my back has decided to be front and center in the pain scope! Having had...
Well, had my first at home PT today! Following doctors orders to take things slow due to the dbl surgery trauma, I did okay! Thank the good Lord the nerve pain in the back of my knee is gone but, the actual act of trying to bend the knee is going to take some time! I will get there as I am...
Hi Everyone! It is the 2nd day after the 2nd surgery! I am home and settled! The pain is still topping in the 7 to 8/8.5 range but, is becoming more manageable. All went well thus far! I will check back soon!
Evening All!
Well it is official, I will go back into the OR next Wednesday! He will be putting in a different brand of knee! This one will have a much longer rod portion than the current knee!
Good Morning to All!
I pray for a positive doctor visit this morning.
I will post week 3 post-op ex rays today. My last measured rom was 97% and flex at ion was 100%! NOW! How am I going to get rid of this sciatic nerve pain in my knee?!

That is what I am saying. It is extremely painful to try to put pressure on my leg and the sciatic nerve pain is to the point of nausea! Pic if ex-ray attached.
This is my 3rd TKR:

My Surgeon was really surprised! He has many, many replacements and has never seen this! The shift has definitely messed with some nerves in my knee! I just that it is stable now and...
TKR was on 03/29/2023.
Everything was going better than great with my recovery 11 days in. Woke up day 12 & had a little burn irritation in my knee. By that evening I couldn’t put any weight on my leg! That was Sunday 9th! My follow up post op was on the 11th! My surgeon showed me my ex ray and...
