    TKR Severe deep calf pain'^

    How is your calf pain? I hope your can get an answer. I wish I was more demanding when it first started. I feel like mine might be chronic now. It seems like when I overdo and if my knee swells that is the place it shows up. And on the outside of my knee about in the middle I think where a nerve...

    Revision TKR revision number 2

    I went to therapy today and made it clear but nicely that I will not do weights and they said no problem.
