MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
That's wonderful....a 125 degree bend!! My knee is still just slightly sore...mostly when I go from sitting and keeping it bent to 90 degrees to straightening it out. It's that stretch I have to do slowly. But I'm able to walk just fine and besides PT, have even returned to the gym to go slowly...- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
I spent an hour at PT today and all went well. I gently did stretches, and my knee today is at 85 degrees. That's to be expected because I'm a bit stiffer today. I really don't have swelling or bruising I can see, but I have been icing multiple times a day and it feels good. My PT gave me...- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
Ooops...hit enter accidentally...so let me continue. I was a nervous wreck as usual getting to the surgery center. I was sure that after the procedure I would be back to "square one" with my knee like it was after having it replaced. I should have known though, that my knee has been healed for...- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
Morning! So it's been 24 hours since I had MUA of my right knee yesterday, and everything went fantastic. I have to tell you....I know there must be a big difference having MUA 7 years after TKR vs having MUA weeks. I wouldn't recommend it, and I'll tell you the cons in a bit. But for me, I have...- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
My guess is it might be something that is said on this forum all the time....all knees are different. So I'm guessing even knees from the same body are different...and my right knee healed very differently from my left. I'll be sure to keep you all posted regarding this new journey.- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
When I was told my right knee was bone on bone and needing replacing, I waited five years until my left knee was bone on bone. By that time if I needed to walk long distances (like going to the mall ect.) I had to use a wheelchair because the pain in my knees was so bad. I couldn't stand for...- Pamx2

MUA MUA 7 Years After Bilateral TKR
Hello! It's been 7 years ago at the end of this month that I had both of my knees replaced. Basically, all went well with my surgery with the usual ups and downs. At the end of 4 months of physical therapy I was free to recover on my own. My left knee was making nice progress, and over the years...- Pamx2

Bilateral TKR I Can't Believe It...I Did It!!!
Hello Everyone....Just an update to give you a Friday afternoon chuckle. :heehee: The flexion brace my OS wanted me to wear arrived a week and a half after I saw my OS.

Bilateral TKR I Can't Believe It...I Did It!!!
LOL...I was the same way...SO SCARED!! My legs were so bowed before my surgery I looked like I had been riding horses all my life...which I hadn't. My knees were finally so painful that I had to use a cane, and use a wheelchair for long distances. I was so backed up against the wall that I had...- Pamx2

Bilateral TKR I Can't Believe It...I Did It!!!
Thank you, Josephine, for your advice....and thank you Pumpkin for tagging Josephine for me. I've been searching the Internet to read about MUA two years or more after TKR but really haven't been able to find much. So I was worried that doing MUA that far out isn't advisable. I trust my...- Pamx2

Bilateral TKR Limpynomore has reached the recovery side!!!
I really can't remember days 2 and 3 being especially painful days. I think it's because I would write down when I got my pain meds and when they were due next...then would start buzzing for those meds about 15 minutes before they were due. It was almost a bit stressful because I didn't want to...- Pamx2
