    TKR Vice around knee one year post op

    Well, I fell yesterday on my knee replacement 14 months post op. I can walk on it. Just some swelling. I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I am so scared. I have been icing it. I don’t feel like I messed anything up but the swelling.

    Jockette, to be honest, no I am not thrilled with this guy. I go back November 24, and I will see what he does. Really leaning to a second opinion. Cjackso21 I am feeling the same way. A year is too long to feel this vice, swelling, pins and needles. I go Nov. 24 and see what he says. If...

    He did all of the usual knee movements and I was fine. 130/0 rom. Then he said Stand Up and started pushing on my lateral thigh and around the hip I yelped. He said bursitis and it affects the knee. I got a shot but barely helped. I feel so defeated. Swelling, pin and needles plus the vice...

    Hi everyone. One year post op. I still have swelling, feeling of pins and needles, plus a vice is squeezing my knee. When I went 2 weeks ago for my one year check up, everything looked good. That was until he pushed on my hip! Said I had bursitis and gave me a shot. Not much relief. I just...

    I am a first grade teacher. I will admit lots of sitting because of the swelling and tightness. PT said I did not need to do exercise because of my job. Now I wonder if that was a smart move. Not moving around much.

    It has been since January since I posted. I will be 6 months out on Monday with right total knee replacement. When is this swelling going to stop? I can't take it.

    Back to work as a 1st grade teacher at week 12 yesterday. Wow, talk about swelling. I iced it twice during the day, and came home to elevate and ice 3 times. I rode my recumbent bike also. My building as lots of stairs, so PT said that would be a workout! TO sleep, I wrapped my knee in an...

    @Colette As I was researching this sight I saw the following on a post The tight band feeling is part of the pain and swelling you have. It's also the result of normal scar tissue, which will dissipate, in time. It's not eh bad sort of scar tissue that the therapists worry you about and you...

    @sistersinhim Another question. My steri strips have fallen off after 3 weeks. The OS put them on after he took my zip closure off. It took three weeks for the strips to fall off. I had a slight itch at the upper part of my incision today. I felt and looked . A very slight bump. Does not have...

    @NFenske thank you for the information. Our school librarian had this done a year ago, and she was all over the place at week 2!! Oh well, we are all different. It is nice to know it will be months, not weeks to turn the corner. @sistersinhim I went to PT, and did not do everything. I...

    @sistersinhim thank you. PT says about turning the corner and you explained it nicely to me. I had a lousy night sleep due to pain still from PT. Today I just feel depressed and crying. I feel like you said he pushed me back. He is a sub so that was the only time I have him. I know the np PT...

    @TinAB I will mention that to PT. Right now, come Monday, I am telling Dan I do not want Kyle!! I should not be hurting like this a day and a half later. My steri strips are half way off. Waiting for nature to get them on the other side of the incision so I can gently get them off. It will...

    Checked things out at PT today. Again 2 PTs said all normal. Dan even said some of it was the rainy weather we had because it felt better yesterday and today. Dan and Kyle said my numbers and everything else is good! But I worry. I will monitor the situation, and will call OS instead of...
