Today was my last PT appointment! Very happy, after 10 weeks! Was a lot of ups and downs but finally feel I accomplished this. I have two issues still: 1) a very tender scar. I am massaging, and still have to cover it at night as my bed sheets really cause discomfort still. Any ideas? 2)...
I think I'm down to one more PT appointment and I'm done! Saw my surgeon today and he was okay with my range of motion and straightness (120/-1). However, wants to see me in 6 weeks, which I don't totally understand unless it is because I haven't been signed off yet by PT.
My surgeon is...
I started back to work yesterday and did good, granted only 3 hours but felt pretty good. Went to Physical Therapy and she was amazed at how much better I was doing. I will be graduating PT next week!!!!!:loll: I am so relieved!
Just trying now how to get my sleep back. I still toss and...
I am at two months today too. Great to read that others still are having issues. My co-worker had this done last year. She was back to work in 4 weeks and said she had no pain. So I was sure that I would be pain free by now. Am quick learning she was the minority and I'm not. Had a...

2. I try to get by with Tylenol Arthritis strength, every 6 hours, but have Tramadol on hand (does not work very well for me) , as well as Percocet (5/325 mg) as needed. Usually nights I end up taking a Percocet, along with Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg prescribed 2x a day. Also just...
Yes thanks. Any help I can get. Today at PT she tried pushing me. I kind of talked back and kept it fairly easy. My numbers weren't great today. 108/-5. But I had to cook Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and started back to work today (5 hours) on top of keeping a 3 year old granddaughter...
I am 8 weeks post op right TKR. In summary, it was going pretty good until overdoing. Swelling is moderate but I am still so uncomfortable. PT has worked me hard because I struggled to get to 112 flex and 1 extension.
I kept telling PT I had pain behind my knee cap. I had a Baker's cyst...
