I went to rehab after my revision ltkr on 9/6/18 and credit that with being able go go back to work driving a semi at 10 weeks. I had physical therapy every day but i also walked a lot. Food wasnt too bad and constantly had ice and pain meds available. With my next knee plan on doing the same.
When I went to pt the last time the pt lady said she was going to manipulate my leg, I walked out. Told her no one was goung to move my leg but me. Haven't been back since. I too would like a cold front its supposed to be in the 80s here today
I'm right at the same time frame flsungirl. I had my ltkr revision on 9/6/18 except I can't go back to work yet. I drive a semi for a living. I too have not gone to pt as every time I do I hurt for 2 days after. My rom is 135 and extension 0 but the pt kept pushing to get it farther. I live up...
7 wks po, rom is 135 and extension is 0 from a ltkr revision on 9/6/2018.

I will be at 6 weeks on Thursday. I had my ltkr revision surgery on 9/6. I started sleeping this week finally all night thru but only if sleeping on my side with a pillow between my legs. I'm also walking without a walker or a came. I realized this morning when I was walking from the bathroom to...
My rom is 100 and extension 0. Feel like I am doing so much better on my surgical leg now to get the other one not to hurt so much so I can get out of rehab and get back to work
Wow I am so sorry that happened to you. It almost sound like my original ltkr before my revision on sept6, 2018.
I've been in a nursing home/rehab since then and have not had any trouble like that just have issues where I cannot pick up my leg and get it into bed or walk up and down stairs but...
Well pt here at the rehab was going good until my right knee started hurting real bad. Its supposed to be the good leg but I have come to realize I have no good leg. Pt has told me I am to come down twice a day now which is really going to make my life suck. I'll be in the bed icing and...
Actually today hasnt been that bad. Did a little pt this morning then walked the halls a little bit. Really wishing they would give me a wheel chair so I could go outside for a walk. Would never make it down to the pond in the walker even tho its all paved getting there.
I forgot to mention...
I'm almost 3 weeks post op. my left knee revision was on the 6th but I went to a rehab after I got out of the hospital due to I drive a semi truck for a living and have no permanent residence. I enjoy reading everyones recovery stories and see how they are doing compared to me. I'm on dilaudid...

It seemed to be the only thing to control the pain at...
I just had my revision almost 3 years to the date of my 1st knee replacement. Wow what a difference.
I went to a rehab/nursing home this time and can actually see a different view from the 1st one. Although I have a lot of stiffness on this knee.
Not sure what to expect but have always found...
