    TKR Fell on knee

    Im just over 10 weeks, and my extension got a little better each week, except week 4 when I got a little more swelling. I was worried too, but I was told I was doing fine. The last time I was officially measured at week 7 I was at 2-that was my last PT, but my extension is flat now, so I would...

    TKR suejan's recovery thread

    Kneeper, I believe it’s true when I’ve been on my leg too much I have a worse night like last night. But what I am terming being on my leg too much, is not that much!. Just EDL stuff, stuff that should be pretty easy by week 10 I would think. It’s not exercise or anything it’s strictly...

    Rockgirl4- 5:20, that stinks too! I never nap in the day, I kinda wish I could so that would be some sleep anyway!! I do get how that would contribute yo the issue though:) I only have 1 coffee/day, in the morning. All I drink rest if day is water-and lots of it. That alone gets me up a few...

    TKR Hedie's recovery thread

    My extension was 2 last week at my 8 week mark.My surgeon and my pt were happy with that ( and my bend finally at 108). I am now done with pt and the surgeon, unless theres an issue. Extension was really slow for me (by my standards) but pretty normal in this group, and in target by my PT and...

    Thanks Kneeper, I realized my outer hip was pretty sore too. I have been using heat. For my ankle, I bought this sport wrap/brace that I’m putting on to sleep with. It has helped a lot, for the last two nights ankle pain is suppressed. When I don’t have it on in the day The ankle pain is...

    TKR suejan's recovery thread

    I’m hoping someone might have had something similar to this. I get a lot of groin pain On my right side, which is the same side I had my knee replacement on. I’ve had the groin pain for a couple of years, and was told it was from the hip. I had a hip x-ray which showed arthritis. From there...

    TKR Neesie's Recovery Thread

    Back a bit you mentioned extreme itching— I had that consistently for the first 5 weeks, I tried so hard to rub and not scratch my legs to ribbons. Its one of the things I have noticed has passed and that I am trying to recognize and be grateful for. My ankle is not swollen, but boy does it...

    TrueNorth I really Like going to PT once a week. It’s about 45 minutes and they have been great with me. I just got out of PT and I’m now at 106 and 4, So decent enough. He said my walking is great, I don’t use a cane at home, but he said to take it when I go out because I could get overtired...

    TKR Hedie's recovery thread

    Hedie, This makes me so sad. No one should have to go back to work after a week. I know it is different across the countries, however if I did not have the great plan at work I do (12 weeks short term disability @ 66% pay) I would still have the option of going on sick leave EI (government...

    TKR Rockgirl4's Recovery---already full of surprises.

    Im exactly the same with the sleep-no way before 2 am. I feel best around 8-10 am so stay in bed late. Can’t do this when I go back to work! Im just over the 6 week right now. As to the period (or lack of) I went through menopause at 48-you never know. I guess you will find out one way or the...

    TKR suejan's recovery thread

    Hello all I had a RTKR on May 30th 2019. Overall I have done ok-Im at+6 for extension and just over 100 (bend) I am walking without a cane in the house, use the cane when I go out. I progressed from the walker about 11 days ago. I do my (light) exercises at home, except for going to my surgeons...
