@momweb what ever happened to robin? I can't find her anywhere after her BTKR this summer... hope everything is ok.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my old friends. Well, first day of snow here in Massachusetts and it is true, the surgeon replaced my old knee with a weather knee. I knew something was coming since my new knee never gives me grief....as a matter of fact, I never feel pain anymore. But...

Only my pride was injured that day @Celle..i made sure I iced all that night and the next day as well. I am so happy with my knee I wish I had done this year's ago.

Well, hi to all my old friends....i have been following each and every one of your threads closely....but I just had to hop on this coaster ride to tell you about my latest mishap. Took my son to the beach for a few days, and I must say, the knee did quite well- of course I wore my neoprene...

I just want to say thank you for all the kind words, the past on the backs and all the support that was given to me through this website. I don't know if my sanity would have held out without you all. I must bid a parting farewell until my next knee... I guess sometime next year. I hope to meet...

Wow!! You made me pooped!!

Hope you have good results and you walk fast :)

They are back up..whew

My ROM progress with my LTKR: 85- 1-3 weeks( home pt) 90- 4 weeks 95- 6 weeks 95- 7 weeks 100- 8 weeks 95- 9 weeks( swollen- kinesio tape started) 105-11 weeks( compression sleeve ) 115- 12 weeks ( decreased swelling noted)

@momweb... Once you start driving again you'll feel like that teenager who just got her license... Making excuses to run out to the store. It really boosted up my morale 100%!!

Boy, to think we made it this far is amazing.. Isn't it @tigz? I think they give us those strong narcotics in the beginning so we forget just how much pain we had. I was just talking to a friend of mine saying that I think I'll do my other knee in the spring since it wasn't that bad, and she...

Boy, those look just like my knees-scar is identical, too. Did you decide when to get your other knee done, Jean? I think I might go around April.. Don't think my right knee can last much longer. Congrats on your outcome... Wasn't it a piece of cake?

12 weeks and hit 115/0 ROM!!! Never thought i would get there- didn't even hurt, either. PT had me balance on a balance board today... Also said I will be graduating after next week- no more visits- I'm kind of sad ( never thought I would say that)!! The turtle is finally close to the finish...

Roxie- I can't say if it's the kinesio tape or the compression sleeve, but I have noticed a big difference in my swelling and stiffness-,went to PT today and my ROM was 115/0. Wow- I was just hitting 95 with pain not too long ago. So, something is working - I will continue with both. I have...

Good for you that you listen to your knee and not your family. Hope things get better for you @sabbath.

I tape about once a week now, keeping it on for two to three days. This week I have a tape running down my incision to help with sensitivity and for a sun block since we are headed to Maine on Wednesday... can't wait to walk on the beach!

Wow..good to know Roxie . Hope it stays pain free for you. I love that kinesiology tape. Did she do a basket weave pattern to help with swelling?

A new lance Armstrong in the making! Congrats!!

My OS gave three months of narcotics- would write a script for 100 at a time- after the three month period you couldn't get anymore. I felt that was reasonable, for by 12weeks you really can get by on just motrin. You had major surgery that takes a long time to heal @simryg..i would let him know...

Maybe it's all this humidity in the northeast,@simryg that's giving us more aches and pains. I would call your MD back and get back on the oxycodone..maybe Just take a lower dose?
