    TKR lmb my knee replacement

    @lmb wow I'm so sorry you're down in the dumps. Hang in there as this too shall pass. It will get better. You probably don't even realize it right now but it's likely that you are just a few weeks away from feeling much better. I have a friend that had the surgery and she said "it takes 3 months...

    TKR On the other side

    @Mister you can also use a belt or some other kind of strap to help you keep your leg straight and mobilized when trying to get in/out of a bed, etc. also, as you do your leg lifts (if prescribed by your PT) then this will help with that also. Good luck!

    TKR 10 Days Post Op.....so far, so good

    I probably wear it about half the time. I don't know it if helps or not but it feels good with it on. I do think compression has helped. I was a little inflamed a couple of days ago and I moved the Gameready compression setting up from low to medium and boom......no more swelling. I had to...

    Thanks @Jamie. That's exactly what I was thinking.......going on around mid day. The getting dressed part really stinks. I wish I could just go in wearing shorts and a tshirt! @Celle yeah, I'm worried about my energy level. As great as my recovery has been so far, I can still certainly feel...

    Bilateral TKR Kathi777's New Knees

    @kathi777.......I had night sweats for the first week or so. I would wake up soaking wet. Sounds like you're doing great. When I started cutting back my pain meds, I went from taking 2 every 4 hours, then 2 every 6 hours and then I went to 1 every 4 hours and then I started pushing that back...

    I will be 21 days tomorrow. My initial plan was to be out of work for all of January but I really feel like I am ready to go back. I am not on my feet at work and I only work about 10-15 minutes away from home, so I can come home to elevate and ice if I need to. I can also do a lot of work from...
