    TKR Flexion Range extremely low

    Poor you! It's annoying when you seem to take 1 step forward and then 3 backwards. I hope the ice helps. I've just hit 3 weeks after TKR and am icing as often as possible to reduce the swelling. I never thought I would be having this much trouble. I was told it would be about 6/7 weeks before I...

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    Morning all, hope everyone is feeling positive today. I've now hit the 3 week mark and have accepted that I'm not doing too badly really. I spent yesterday relaxing in the garden enjoying the sunshine, regular breaks for a bit of walking and stretching and also to elevate and ice my still...

    MUA Getting Back in the Saddle

    Hi Alison. Wow I have just read all through your thread. You've really been through the mill haven't you? No wonder you have such awful tearful times. I'm pleased that people on here have been so helpful and supportive. It's a great forum isn't it? I am feeling much better after a couple of...

    TKR 12 Days Post-Op

    Hi, I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and after discovering this site my spirits are lifted and I feel more comfortable with the feelings and emotions that I'm going through. I think sleep deprivation has a lot to do with it. I find that I grab a nap wherever and whenever the need takes me. I'm...

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    Thanks Roy. I'm beginning to see that now. I think part of my problem has been that I had a hip replacement 2 years ago and, although I was warned that the knee would be much tougher to recover from, I never realised just how much harder. My family also thought I would be up and running like...

    TKR Finally

    Hi Chickie. Welcome to the forum and good luck with your recovery. I'm almost 3 weeks post TKR surgery and like Suzyblue in New Zealand, here in the UK we only have physio while in hospital and then do our own thing once we get home. I thought this was a bad thing but on hearing about pushy PT's...

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    What joy this morning. After elevating and icing yesterday I can see (and feel) a huge difference this morning. The swelling is much reduced and I even managed a half decent nights sleep. This site has been great and I have learnt more in the few hours since I joined than I did from any...

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    Me too Wanda. I am going to take it very easily now and see how it goes. It's not as if work are pushing for me to go back quickly. I must admit, the ice has made it feel much better :) Gail

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    Thanks very much. I'm now resting, leg elevated and wrapped in an ice pack. The family can fend for themselves and I am going to take things much easier. I'll report back on how it goes :dancy:

    TKR Recovering in the UK

    Hi, I had RTKR on 19th June 2013 so am now almost 3 weeks post op. Seemed to be doing pretty well until a couple of days ago but have now started experiencing pain like little electric shocks all through my knee area. There have been some numb areas since my operation so I'm wondering if this is...
