    TKR Ok, home & less delirous:) staples anyone?

    Well. dunno if I am in the right thread. It's been a long time since I've visited & posted and need to catch up reading what others have said. I had the replacement 7/21. Now I am walking. Still not far and not really able to do enough stairs to be able to use NYC subways. Too many stairs for...

    Caryl, Chihuahua Thanks so much for clearing scar tissue and my fear... Ya know each medical person I've seen even prior to surgery I've spoken about bone smart and told them how comforting the forum is to any having or going to have surgery.. especially because it's people who have had or are...

    Chil Thanks so much for the link... Perhaps I'm wrong..and most times are:) but I'm under the impression that the getting to the correct ROM to be able to do certain things, the bend in the knee, walking, stairs etc., is based up stretching the scar tissue... is that right? and my worry is...

    Josephine...... I think I'm lost? Is this the right place to post?? Hope so. Perhaps being redundant. I spent the entire day after doing some exercises in bed... with ice and finally the pain subsided at midnight! I did some exercise in the morning.. I saw the PT person on Tues and then spent...

    TKR Ok, home & less delirous:) staples anyone?

    I saw the new PT person, we spent more time talking about the plan than exercising.. Here's my question to all... is the deal to stretch scar tissue each time we do an exercise and if so, doesn't the stretching hurt and how much should we stretch and hurt. I did some exercises this morning, not...

    I need to pound that PT "wanting us to do more, info etc." ... into my brain! I seem to get mesmerized when they lead me into various exercises, acting as if they're simple to do; making it seem "a matter of fact" to be expected. Thanks for the reminder.. Pumpkin: Question: you mention good...

    Pumpkin.. thanks for responding to my posting. Just did a few exercises.. and feel ok. ironically, if I feel so good am I not doing enough?? I know, it's ok not to be in pain.. the process of going e.g, in a heel slide - holding it just before the pain..."before' .. in doing these exercises...

    I can't begin to talk about my disappointment with the Medical Profession, they are still referencing it as a "profession" huh? Uncaring doctors, nurses, aides, when questions are asked it's as if one is being annoying; pestering the person you're talking to; making them work? answer you? who...

    LOL, thanks Celle, for some hope. My knee, dameon (unsure spelling) excorist needed! One day no pain? seems like a long way off. Frankly, the idea of riding a bike, is something under normal circumstances I didn't do, and the vision of my legs rotating is painful just thinking about it. Is...

    I feel pretty much in the dumps, the realization may be.. that this knee is now a new addition to my life which is now seemingly taking up almost a much time as a new toddler. For someone like myself, working long hours/own business, socializing with friends & business meetings and then having 2...

    Pumpkin- thanks for the encouragement. curious where are you located?? Dogwheels, I use a cane, and laughed about it serving as a weapon.. trust me, I've envisioned myself as that lil ole crazy lady hitting someone with a cane. As negative as this sounds... I feel the cane, sometimes alerts...

    @@Nana moon 27 - US, and particulary NY, has changed the perscription process for narcotic drugs, which is on 1 hand a great idea for those abusing drugs especially those drs who make their bucks writing scripts for those that are not in pain, but looking to get high.. Now drs can't call a...
