    PKR Patellofemoral PKR with Ehlers Danlos hypermobility

    You can also ask for your surgical report. It’s amazing what we find out when we read that. In my case, I found out my surgeon did a lateral release during my PKR surgery, because my patella didn't track well during the surgery. That surprised me because I’d never had a tracking problem before...

    TKR 4 weeks post-op

    I was also a side sleeper before surgery and what helped me sleep on my back was elevating my legs on a foam wedge. It turns out that now I prefer to sleep that way and I still do!

    MUA Excessive Knee Stiffness post TKR

    I’m surprised your surgeon told you this. It is way too early to declare you did not have a good outcome. You are still in the early phase of a recovery that takes an average of a year. X-rays show the bones and implant, and since those are fine, your pain now is from the soft tissue which was...

    MUA Excessive Knee Stiffness post TKR

    @Kmp1970 Hi and Welcome! I’m so sorry you’re having such a tough time. This is a difficult recovery with lots of conflicting information about how to recover. That said, I’m going to offer some more conflicting suggestions. Sometimes, for some of us, doing all the PT work can backfire and it...

    I think we all have a desire to please our medical teams even if deep down we know we’re doing fine, even if we’re not doing everything they tell us to do. :console2: My sister is also a fan of lavender.

    TKR YYZ Back To YYC!

    Yes, I hope he will. If you do have to go through with the test, maybe just attempting to do a few of those things will be enough for them to determine the validity of your pain. I’m sorry you have to prove it with such a test.
