    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    Pumpkin - wanted to let you know you were right on target! I saw my OS on Tuesday, swelling was down somewhat and "bump" behind knee was much smaller. Said it was a Bakers Cyst... just will go away. Knee looked perfect. Thought the cold weather and lack of walking may have contributed , but...

    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    I had RTKR 2/13/17 so I'm almost 1 year. After a rough start I've been doing pretty good and enjoying my new knee. About 2 days ago I started having some swelling and its getting worse. I feel a knot on the back of my knee and it feels a little warm. Also, my calf is sore. Has anyone...

    TKR Surgery 16 Feb 2017, wondering about pain

    @Crip - belated Happy Birthday. I wanted to share that I had a "Medical Massage" done Wednesday. The therapist worked just on my leg trying to loosen up the lymph nodes and soft tissue that is extremely swollen. After the massage she taped by knee with a beautiful design - supposed to help...

    TKR Surgery 16 Feb 2017, wondering about pain

    @Crip - I had my RTKR on 13-Feb-2017 so we are the same timeframe and have similar concerns. I still have swelling and the tightness in my knee. I'm still going to PT but have a very gentle PT so don't mind going. I'm not able to take NSAID and felt that was hindering the swelling, but after...

    TKR Zakie's TKR Recovery Thread

    Sending a hug and hope your doctor visit went well. We all go through the tears - not sure when it ends. They need to make this the number one requirement to have a knee replacement "Lots of Patience Needed" because that's what it all is about. I understand your frustration with comparing...

    MUA My unresolved TKR issues!<

    @Freesia I hope you are feeling better today. I did a search on lipoedema and your thread came up. I've never been officially diagnosed with lipoedema but I'm pretty sure I have this. I am 9 weeks post op and still have tremendous swelling. Pain isn't bad, just swelling and the feeling of...

    MUA Completed

    Way to go @Angiebaby - excited for your steps to improvements. I'm curious about the acupuncture. Haven't seen that mentioned before as something that will help with flexion. I'm 8 weeks out and at 95, Hoping I'll make it to 110. How wonderful to have the vacation to think about. All the...

    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    Thanks @Clipless and @KarriB for your feedback, interesting. My ROM is 95 but my extension is at 6. It was a 4, then 5 and yesterday 6. PT worked a little too much on it and I had to say STOP which I wouldn't have done before. Today my knee is letting me know it did not like yesterday's...

    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    Admin - please change subject to "Use of CPM" . Thank you. I've noticed that several have used CPM after surgery. My doctor did not recommend using one. I'm curious to know how those who have used a CPM have done. How is your ROM/Extension ? Also, has anyone used one later in recuperating-...

    TKR Frustration six weeks total knee replacement

    rayk I posted early today the same scenario 6 weeks and OS wants MUA. It is very confusing. My surgeon is highly respected and has been practicing for over 20 years. So why are so many doctors recommending MUA's?

    Admin - please change subject to MUA - Not sure. Week 6 for RTKR (13-Feb-2017. This has not been the best week for me. Monday started out great and went to PT - low impact, therapist does not push. ROM 88-90 and extension 9. Tuesday morning I woke up with my knee the size of a basketball...

    TKR When will the swelling end?

    Last night I was starting to have a pity party and came across this thread since I can't seem to get the swelling to disappear (RTKR on 2/13/17). Smcsmc727 thank you for making me laugh, you definitely need to write a book for TKR. Those around me thought for sure I was losing it big...

    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    Thank you Celle for changing title and for the reminders and advice. I so agree with what you say. I was worried that I wasn't making progress as quickly as expected but at one month I know that I need patience and will take one day at a time.

    TKR Skin rashes after surgery

    We had surgery same day, same knee - you are doing great. I asked my home PT about driving and she suggested that when I feel ready that I go to an empty parking lot and practice before going out on the road. I live in a very busy area where it is stop and go, so will follow her suggestion...

    TKR Swelling at 11 months

    Hi Everyone! My surgery went fine yesterday. No nausea. They had me up and walking about an hour after I returned to my room. ITT wasn't to bad. Today the nerve block is wearing off and have done more walking so pain was more intense. I didn't hesitate for meds. Plans are to be discharged...
