    Anyone have increased pain in good knee while doing rehab for bad knee?

    Hi, I’m scheduled to have my left TKR on October 30th. I have occasional pain I’m my right “good” knee. I have not been very active for the past 2 years. I’m wondering if going through the rehab for my left knee might aggravate or worsen the pain in my right knee. I’ve never had surgery on my...

    Anyone ever had Plica Syndrome?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with plica syndrome. I was informed by my original knee surgeon last December that I most likely have an inflamed plica in my right knee (good knee). It was barely visible on the MRI. However I can occasionally feel and hear it snapping. I’m...

    Working from home after TKR?

    Thank you for your response. I plan on being very diligent with my exercises but I certainly don’t want want to overdo it. My biggest concern is sitting for long periods of time and the effect that may have on my recovery. Other than my two 15 minute breaks and my 30 minute lunch, I will be...

    Working from home after TKR?

    Hi everyone, I have rescheduled my left TKR for October 30th. I can only take 2 weeks off work. I currently work from home and my job involves sitting at a desk for 8 hours per day. I get a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. I plan on doing my exercises 3x per day: before work, on my...

    When is the right time for knee replacement?

    Thank you so much for your advice and support. I know this isn’t going to be easy but it’s something I need to do. I’m also hoping that once I fix my left knee that my right knee will start feeling better.

    I Canceled my TKR. Now I'm regretting it!

    So you were bone on bone? My surgeon told me that my xrays only showed very minor narrowing of the joint space. I don’t want to wait until it gets that bad but I’m not really sure how I will know when it’s time.

    I Canceled my TKR. Now I'm regretting it!

    Thank you for the reply. But I just wonder if I should be having more pain on a daily basis to justify the surgery?

    I Canceled my TKR. Now I'm regretting it!

    Hi all. I was scheduled to have my left TKR yesterday 9/11. On Friday, 9/6 I decided that I had some questions for the surgeon so I scheduled an appt with him. I must have seemed pretty nervous and unsure of my decision because he called me after I left his office and said he wanted to see me...

    Pain in hamstring tendons anyone?

    Thank you for the reply. I’m wondering the same thing. I do believe it’s bursitis but I think the original problem stems from the arthritis and the meniscus. I really hope that your surgery works great for your pain!

    When is the right time for knee replacement?

And may God bless you for your commitment to this forum and for your responses to my posts as well as...

    When is the right time for knee replacement?

    I’m also really trying to not focus on my good knee so much right now. I want my bad knee (left knee) to get better first. But I really think it’s inevitable that my good knee (right knee) is going to need to at the very least be scoped in the very near future. I’m also very sad right now...

    When is the right time for knee replacement?

    Thank you so much to everyone that has responded to my post. I agree that everyone has their own individual and personal experience with recovery but I am actually not afraid at all. It’s really crazy to me that I am looking forward to having a major surgery in less than 3 weeks. I think that’s...

    Pain in hamstring tendons anyone?

    I have pain on the medial side of my knee and according to my surgeon my area of pain is right where my hamstring tendons are. It’s not a sharp pain.

    When is the right time for knee replacement?

    Wow!!! Thank you so much to everyone for all the encouraging words. I personally have made up my mind that I am moving forward with my surgery on September 11th but unfortunately I’m not getting a lot of great support from the people closest to me like my mom and my sister and my boyfriend. I...
