Mine still clicks occasionally..but it doesn't hurt. My dr. Told me this could happen. I know during the dark days of recovery...it can all seem too much to handle but be patient..I think I'm the only one who notices the click btw.
I thought I'd never be able to do lots of things but slowly...
Hang in there.. Glad it went well. You will get your strength back little by little. I was bored to death as well. Entertained myself somehow.

Wow. I had it removed for both and no problems. They put it in after I was out so that part was no brainer. Definitely a bonus but they won't leave in too long because of UTI. [emoji12]

I was scared too. Knowing what I was in for..but wanted to get it over with. Ignorance was bliss. I remember in pre-op thinking what am I doing? It went very well as did first one and yours will too. It's all behind me now. Stay strong!

I was a hospital newbie. Catheter was awesome. You feel nothing and it collects urine. Saves trouble of getting up..and you can drink lots of water to flush meds out of your body. Removal was painless as well. They take out 2nd day I think.

Mine is the same. Great mobility but still sore after activities. Still aware of knees most of the time
I'm impatient. Seeing my doc for 3 mo. Check on rt. He originally told me to give it 3 months before expecting anything great.

I seem to need more sleep too. Again I am so happy to read these things. My last surgery was 8 weeks ago but between the 2 of them...it wiped me out.

@sleepilu I too have had some severe pain this week at 7.5 weeks. Reading your post made me feel better. Mine is also below knee in the bone area where piece was pounded in. I don't recall first one being this sore but maybe have forgotten already.
I have resorted to aspercreme and wrapping in...
Wow. 2 miles is a long way. We had surgery on the same day. I can't go that far yet. Still get sore when I do too much. My bending is better than you but still need a pain pill 2x a day. Congratulations! !! Hope you get your other knee done soon.. you will really be on a roll after that.

My pt said to walk but not to push it. Not even the walking. 4 weeks is not a long time. I'm venturing out a bit the last 2 weeks and believe me I feel it. Knee gets painful. Many of the therapists have never experienced the pain...
You have to be the judge of how much you can do.
