    TKR Troy knee number 2

    Heard from nurse this afternoon. Surgeons office not concerned with "open" nature of wound. Very happy to hear that ( but actually kind of surprised to hear it). But good to go is good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    TKR Troy knee number 2

    Staples taken out yesterday - 10 days post surgery. Bit concerning as wound not as closed as I'd expect (comparing to knee 1, so small data set). See photos attached - shows areas of wound that still look "raw". Visiting nurse was going to discuss with surgeon's office - I did not hear...

    Good few days. Fog Head better, stopped MS Contin last night. Hope it's related. Took nice 10 min slow walk outside this morning. On the ice machine now, resting and elevating. Question, is there a "too much" ice? Is 10hrs in a day OK? Very ready to get my staples out tomorrow. They feel like...

    Tough couple of days. Recovery is not a linear process. Following day does not necessarily track previous days. Sunday nurse sent photos of thigh bruising to on call Dr. Dr agrees with bonesmarters that not concerned. I was happy with PT'ers. I told Friday substitute and this weeks regular...

    Thanks Celle. Great to have a double check on the normality of the bruising. Understood on the squats. Right now I'm really liking the seated heel slides using second leg as assist. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Did my PT exercises : heel slides, squats, squat sets short walk. Feeling pretty "fog" head today. Assuming it's the combination of all the drugs. Three main pain killers. MS Contin 15 2xday. Hydromorphone (dillaudid) 4mg 8x. Gabapentin 100 3x. Hope fog head clears as this first weeks usage...

    Thanks Josephine. From my first knee I have aircast cryocuff. And some some large format self made ice pads. Will be big step down from automatic machine but cryogenic cuff I really appreciated after using ice pads for first several weeks. In another week or so let's see what they say for...

    TKR Troy knee number 2

    I'm up 230 in morning. That part doesn't change. Feeling good. Knee feels low pain. Being addresses by MS Contin ER and Dilaudid. Only issue, rather minor, is tightness above the knee. Very knotty, hard, sensitive muscle. Likely related to tourniquet. Had same thing last time but a more...

    TKR 2 year scar tissue limited ROM

    Josephine. So are you saying skip the MUA and go right to open lysis? What are the risks of the open lysis? Can I lose any of the stability,strength, etc that my knee does have while I'm chasing the ROM? At two years post op do I have any time risk to success meaning any difference between...

    TKR 2 year scar tissue limited ROM

    Thanks everyone. Josephine I asked about plain old manipulation and he said no, not appropriate here. Not sure why. Question Is there anything I can do to further "force" the ROM. Things like dropping my bike seat height so each rotation challenges the ROM a bit more. Or deep knee bends or...
