So I missed my two year anniversary - the 20th of November 2018! I actually usually forget when I had it. So happy to tell you that my knee is great and fully recovered. I still can't kneel on it without significant padding (a pillow!) but otherwise it's great. I have no idea what number my...
Hi Flash, I've just caught up with your recovery thread. Sounds like you're having a very normal recovery. I had my knee replaced in November 2018 and I just wanted to share my experience with you. I was quite worried that I wasn't doing enough physio or exercise but I've been an avid member of...
One year ago today I had my right knee replaced. To say that I'm happy with the outcome is a gross understatement! The advice I got here on Bonesmart was so on point. I have never had my bend measured but this summer my neighbour - who is a retired physiotherapist - eyeballed me at between 125...
Josephine you help so many of us with your wise and kind advice. I know you've helped me enormously with a hip replacement in 2014, and a knee replacement last November. I owe you a great debt of gratitude. I'm sending my very best wishes for a successful revision and a rapid and painless recovery.
I haven't been on the boards for a long time and this is the first thread I've sort of caught up with. I'm so sorry about your fall and that you're having trouble @sistersinhim. I hope it all gets sorted.
@Greatday6 you're actually doing quite well for six weeks. One of the Advisors will be along shortly to give you all kinds of reading - do read them, they are amazingly helpful. I had a right knee replacement six months ago and I followed the Bonesmart method of recovery. I had an excellent...
My six month anniversary came and went unnoticed by me! Over on the hip side Josephine talks about the 'forgotten' hip . I don't think we get to a forgotten knee but I'm pretty darn close. I said much earlier on that I didn't have a numb spot. I was mistaken, of course. It just felt weird, not...
Today is my five month anniversary. I have to say that I think I've had an excellent recovery. I will have to re-read my thread to remind myself of pain! We are home after our big trip (planning our next one, haha!), and recovered from all jet lag. My knee is doing fabulously well. No pain at...
Tracey I'm so very happy for you! My similar success came a little earlier in recovery than yours, but I can tell you that once those things started happening for me - the stairs, the bath, all of it - it just kept getting better and better. I sincerely hope that happens for you!
Well after four weeks in paradise we leave today for London. I can't begin to tell you how good this has been for my knee! When I arrived I still needed to ice and elevate quite a lot. My knee would swell at the slightest stress. I don't remember when I last iced! My knee still swells if I...
Good to hear from you Tracey! Sounds like you are improving albeit very slowly. I hope your home stressors resolve soon and that your course goes well.
So my four month anniversary passed and I didn't even realize! We're still in Gran Canaria and I continue to progress. Walking to town becomes a little easier every time. Still have not done the coastal walk back from Amadores, maybe this week. My knee swells and goes back down. My bend...
@Elad1002 being on this holiday I find myself doing much more walking than I was. After all there is no snow or ice here! I do get swollen when I walk a lot or stand around a lot but I find the swelling goes down overnight and my mobility and stamina are just a little bit better the next day...
Still going to PT twice a week. It's only been three months - just two since your MUA. I think that partly is causing your swelling. Also, some of us stay swollen longer. My surgeon told me that the swelling (and improvements) could take a year or longer. Maybe if you did no PT, just walked...
