TKR My Recovery Thread - What a roller coaster! (LTKR Sept 8)
An update on my LTKR 9 weeks PO and saw the surgeon today. At 6 weeks he was thinking MUA was going to be needed, but today he's happy with my progress and feels a MUA will not be necessary. The swelling and inflammation has come down considerably - a combination of Celebrex, manual lymphatic...- RubiJane

TKR My Recovery Thread - What a roller coaster! (LTKR Sept 8)
I have to say, this forum is a wealth of info.

I'm hoping to connect with others who had TKR around the same time as me, and who are...- RubiJane

My LTKR was Sept 8 so I'm right in line with you. My knee still has swelling which limits my bend. Saw my OS this week and he's given me 3 weeks to gain more flexion otherwise he'll want to do MUA :-( Every time I do my exercises (specifically any with bending) my knee flares up inflammation and...- RubiJane
