Revision TKR Replacing artificial titanium knees (sell old ones?)
I would see if you can keep them. Conversation Pieces!!! Paper Weights? Make your own jewelry? I think people are confusing the price of scrap Titanium with Platinum. Situation is similar to how disappointing the value of your gold crowns are. "$10 dollars!!!, I paid $2,500 for that crown!!!"- skcoj1

TKR Slow Recovery of a Youngster
My experience with the first day home after the right TKR was that pain killers are not match to the power of ice. Simple as that!!! I was 'kicked' out of the surgery center at 6AM - "NEXT"!!! LOL. That day the home nurse and PT were at my home. WOW!!! No rest for the weary. During the...- skcoj1

Revision THR On my 4th revision for left hip after only 2 years.
OMG, I am so sorry for the suffering you have gone thru. I thought I was going thru the hip replacement from hell. I haven't had any revisions, but I have gone thru many injections, labs, imaging, PT, lots of Dr visits. Since April 2022 I have had over 200 different visits related to my...- skcoj1

THR Getting anxious
When I had my right TKR the most pain I felt was because a great deal of heat was being generated at the surgery site. That 1st night home, wow!!! I knew 10 out 10 pain and this was 100 out of 10. I just couldn't get a chill to the area. The surgical dressing was so heavy, a chill couldn't...- skcoj1

THR 14 weeks later, UGH!!!
The saga continues!!!! UGH!!! It is 3.5 months and still feeling discomfort. The MRI of the lower back showed a pinched nerve that could be the root of the problem. On the 5th I had an epidural. There was a little relief, I was expecting more. I am doing PT, but I think there's more to it...- skcoj1

THR My Right THR recovery going well after almost 4 week
Just a few words of advice. Go slow, even of you think everything is going so well. At the 6 week mark, I was walking 4-5 miles a day and doing my PT, both outpatient and at home. The very next day after the 6 week mark, I had a miss step, just a little scuff of the foot on a raised mound...- skcoj1

I'm 14 weeks into my Hip Replacement The recovery started off amazing. I was at the "top of the class".
