    TKR Here I am with my new left knee

    Glad to see you are doing well. I will soon be at 2 years also, but had a revision done in February as my kneecap had dislocated. I had been in a lot of pain and once I had the revision; life was wonderful. I am now mostly pain free, walking my dogs about 2 miles a day and loving my knee.

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I have amazing ROM and can crawl on my knee and really do almost anything I want. My issue is that I have a lot of pressure when climbing steps and a pinching feeling. I also have a lot of pain when rising from a chair and when sleeping. My poor kneecap looks like a lump of ice cream sliding...

    Glad that went well for you. I was actually looking more for information about the surgery itself and the recovery time.

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    No this surgeon only did my most recent arthroscopy and knee replacement. My hips were done many years ago.

    That does sound like a very good idea, but I am in a real time crunch right now. I am going to be losing my job the beginning of March along with my insurance, I have to move from the house I am selling into my new house before March 1 and am leaving for a month in Florida on March 17. I have...

    Getting my kneecap repaired 1.5 years after knee replacement

    Hello All Bonesmarties....After making only a certain amount of forward progress and continuing to have popping, pressure, sensation of stabbing and a tearing feeling; my doctor has decided that my kneecap is out of place. The xrays bear this out as it is thinner on one side and definitely has...

    TKR Here I am with my new left knee

    It's always good to see someone's long term progress. I am at 1.5 years and continuing to improve. I can get down and crawl on the floor with some super squishy knee pads. That was my main goal. Are you going to start working on your other knee? I know I am not mentally prepared to start on...

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I am celebrating my One Year anniversary of my knee and what a difference a few months has made. I did a second round of PT and then started doing some exercises that can be accomplished sitting or standing and working on my balance. I also found an amazing pair of kneepads that have a built...

    TKR Rob's Knew Knee

    @newlybionic - I am glad you are back on the road to recovery. This replacement did not go at all like I had hoped. My hip surgeries seemed much simpler (even though one had to be revised after only a year). Recovery is definitely longer and I am also still swelling if I am on it for more...

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I have gone through my round of PT and have worked hard at home on some low impact aerobics, strength training and balance. I am getting around great and when I concentrate on how I am getting up from a chair and going up the stairs; I can do it pain free. I am currently working on kneeling on...

    TKR Rob's Knew Knee

    I am looking forward to my one year anniversary and although I am still not back to 100%; I am doing much better. Another round of PT and some exercise at home to strengthen my quads has helped immensely and I have worked up to low impact aerobics and balance and strength training. I am...

    TKR Dearjr's new knee

    I am aching to get back down to Florida. Only four more weeks and I will be en route. I find that the Ohio cold weather immediately stiffens my joint when I get out of the car. Have you experienced that? Never heard of your calcified debris. Sounds like a lunar landing.

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    :yes!:I saw my surgeon again yesterday. He took more xrays, watched me walk and struggle to rise from a chair and poked my tendons/muscles. He says that if I had ripped something I would not be saying "it's tender"; I would be screaming when he poked around. He also said if I had a serious...

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I just came from a visit to the chiropractor. He would not touch it. He believes either that I have ripped something in the knee and anything he would do would only aggravate it more (he was thinking PT anyway) or that the problem is from my previous hip replacement. He did note weakness in...

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I found a new chiro that I am going to try. I guess I still don't understand how just my daily living has caused my knee to Not heal and actually develop damage. I am not doing anything athletic. Very confusing, but I feel better hearing a name put to it and having something new to try...

    TKR Where did my energy go?<

    I have given it a month of no exercises and resting, icing, elevating and the pain has not lessened. When I try to stand from a couch, chair, any seated position I feel almost a ripping sensation accross the top of my knee and down the inside. I feel it less on the left (original equipment)...
