    MUA knee so stiff<<

    Hi again, so sorry to hear you’re still struggling with pain and so much discomfort.. I know you said you cannot afford private pay but possibly look into loan of some kind? I hate to see fellow bone smartie not recover fully. Surely somewhere there is help and hope. It is so worth finding the...

    Bilateral TKR Where to begin, did too much?

    Hello! I agree you should back off anything that might be causing any extra or undue pain ., I cannot use elliptical because of SI joint issues but perhaps after resting few days and starting again slowly it will become clear what is going on. Good luck!!

    TKR Knee#2's Recovery Thread

Just didn’t want to...

    Hi @luvcats ! I start PT (same guy I saw for my TKR) next Friday and hoping he can help me do some exercises to improve this situation, yes if it’s like rotator cuff tendinitis it will hopefully get better.

    Hoping everyone had a very merry Christmas! My knee continues to be stiff almost every day but to be expected. I did finally get my MRI results... unbelievably the surgeon replied they came back normal! We were both stunned and thought for sure I had a tear. I do know it still hurts but he is...

    I’m not walking anywhere near 2 miles daily. I keep track (sort of) w my steps and rejoice if it’s over 1000 lol. I wish the pool was closer or I didn’t have so many excuses not to exercise! Sorry your surgeon was such a pain. I think that makes such a difference. Good to hear from you!

    I was also wondering how you were doing! My knee is much better as well but still feeling internal swelling, but we’re halfway there! As far as depression goes I think this year has been filled with so many major life changing events for most or some of us that our daily chores /chronic...
