Hi All
It has now been 7 months since my surgery and I couldn't be happier...can walk as far as I want with no pain, work out on elliptical, spin cycle and rower daily, and have near normal ROM. Still feel it when I try to bend knee too far but apart from that things are good. Have been scuba...
Hi Mosey
I have to agree with many here...don't overdo it too soon. I had my TKR on August 16 and only went to a PT once. I let my knee tell me what I could do (not what I should so) and I have now complete ROM and work out daily (spin cycle and elliptical) and can walk for 5 km no problem (and...
Hi All
Just over 7 weeks and things are great. Had my six week evaluation with my OS and everything good...I'm happy - he's happy. My ROM is 120 and can straighten out completely. I took Jamie's advice and switched to my spin cycle instead of elliptical (my OS agreed). Am doing 20 minutes/day...
Day 31 and all is going well (touch wood). I am walking more without an aid and less limping. I have been back to work (office) since last Monday and leg isn't aching like it did before...much more comfortable while I'm at my desk. ROM is coming along well...spending less time on the formal...
Good points Kneeper and believe me I will be heeding them...so far my recovery has been due to me not really doing anything but listening to my knee...only trying what it allows. I refuse to push things and will make sure my PT understands that...this is my 9th surgery on this knee so I know a...
I'm now on Day 24 and my mobility has increased significantly. I can now walk without an aid (although I still bring the cane for longer walks) and can walk over 1 km. Knee is still swollen and stiff but continues to improve. When I am sitting or lying and the aching gets a bit to bothersome I...
Well, I am on Day 17...had my staples out on Friday and my check-up went well. My ROM is not bad (97 and -3)...I should note that I am not strenuously doing exercises, more letting the knee heal and give me what it can...I do heel pushes for 5 minutes three times a day but not really too much...
Hi All
Well, it's day 14 for me and I get my staples out tomorrow (yay!). I must say the first couple of weeks have been long but (thanks to this site) nothing really came as a surprise.
The swelling/bruising is going down and my ROM is good...it would be better but the swelling in the actual...
Hi All
Scheduled for Friday August 16 (RTKR) here in Calgary Alberta...just a bit nervous:unsure:. This will be my eighth surgery on it...I began with a menisectomy in 1983 after blowing it out playing rugby, one ACL reconstruction in '89 (from same rugby injury) and 5 arthroscopies to remove...
