    TKR Barometric Pressure?<

    Hello from California! It's been a while, wanting to check back on a concern that seems to be getting worse... my left knee replacement (June 2017) and the Achilles repair side. I'm concerned that my replacement seems to "catch" or lock up at times and i have to force, pop it at some point...

    Progress, a week later... Bruise is draining, as it seems. I've developed a lump in the front of my left knee. Hematoma... I think because I wear knee highs at work 10+ hrs a day, cutting off the flow downward. I have called my PCP, on Monday... He's in Europe and his staff :sad: haven't...

    Ouch to have fallen twice, glad you're ok! And yes, my soft tissues are very angry! :hissy: Yes, my right knee is scraped pretty badly. I had it covered today so my littles didn't want to touch it! It's uncovered, breathing now that they are back home with mommy & dada !

    My biggest fear ever... I fell yesterday on my new knees, down a driveway skidding along. I was walking my grandson up the culdesac and stepped into someone's deep dug sprinkler hole, and just went down (so did Josiah, but he's ok). They hurt so much, scraped up and bruised!! But, I feel like my...

    I have to say, we are very saddened as a family to have to announce this. We have suddenly, unexpectedly lost my husband's sister today. I won't make it to San Diego this weekend to the joint replacement awareness day. Jamie-i'm not sure how to cancel the reservation so someone else may have...

    Who's going to San Diego on May 4th?! Nope, not for anything Stars Wars related, but to celebrate the stars in ortho and meet Jamie (bone smarty administrator)!! The second annual Joint Replacement Awareness Day is going on this day, and I signed up to go! I'm so excited!! See you all there...

    TKR Barometric Pressure?<

    @FCBayern Thanks so much for asking! My RTKR is getting along. It feels strong and I'm using it 100%, no left leg use for two weeks! I get twinges of discomfort, but nothing past that. I'm only up to grab a bite to eat or use the potty during this left sided bit. I trust I'll be well healed in...

    Hello All, Reporting in, had a successful Achilles repair on my left side. It does have some major medical terminology to it, but I can't even... Compared to my TKRs, I'm feeling so great! Had my procedure 4/11/19 as an outpatient. Took tramadol on day/night one but only Motrin the remainder of...

    Hello All, Happy March, hope you're all well!! I am ramping up to return to work on Monday! I feel good and await my Achilles surgery in April. I must go back as employer policy states, I am able to be off for sixteen weeks and I've already used 11, so I'll save some weeks for my Achilles...

    Hi @Lindylee I see you just had surgery, how are you coming along?! Thanks for your concern. I was born (many years ago) with BLL abnormalities and it seems to be catching up with me now. Surgery on my ankle should be planned for April or May of this year. Take care! April :wave:

    Hello, Update, saw a different (very young) OS today about my left ankle. We are planning surgery, I have tendinopathy, a spur and a partial tear on my Achilles. He will nip the spur/shave my heel and release the tendon at my calf using very small incisions! He showed me the same surgery on a...

    Hello All! Saw my OS today, was prescribed Voltaren Gel to try and calm my medial pain down at that muscle, Let's hope so. No, not going back to work any time soon! Not even close to thinking about that! I do have another appt with a different OS to address my left ankle next week. On the...

    TKR Barometric Pressure?<

    I too was born with birth defects about my lower extremities! I had to have my legs repositioned and wore braces and casts for my first year of life (so mama tells me). I've also broken both of my ankles twice each, I've always had issues... I wished I hadn't. I too hope to cut down the NSAIDs...

    TKR Barometric Pressure?<

    @sistersinhim I have had the severe pain and have worn a brace since early 2017. I cannot even say when I injured it... Probably repetitive. I've also been on inflammatories for over 20 years, due to migraines & my knees. I have bought and used so many rubs and braces to try & "fix this on my...

    Got my MRI results today :censored::censored: I'm so upset, I cried in my car while reading the report... My MRI was on my left ankle... The report says that I have a partial Achilles tear and tendinopathy. Looks like another surgery. I see my OS on the 5th of Feb to make plans and check my...

    I truly hope you were able to rest last night too @ebungalow !! I got about 3 hours, hit and miss, toss and turned, got out of bed at 7am when the hubs woke so not to bother him! Yes, I had learned a lesson or two with going back to work too early last time! I'm off for 12wks this time and plan...

    I can't help but to remind myself daily that I did have a major surgery and it's ok to hurt. I think I'm beating myself up knowing that for my prior LTKR I was back to work already by this time. I'm writing to mainly get this off my chest and get out of my slump I'm in. Thanks for reading...
