    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi folks ... it looks like it's been a while since I've made a post. (I'm such a bad forum participant. :-( ) Not much has happened in 3 weeks. I did get an MLD massage that seemed to help a bit, but my insurance wouldn't cover the sessions. Being off work for three months so far we are trying...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi folks, I'm so grateful for each of your responses. One thing I really like about this forum is how kind and sincere each respondent is. You truly are doing a great work here. I apologize for my delayed response. I've had a few bad days back to back, and on the bad days I shut down...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    My most recent update. I had a visit with my OS Tuesday of this week. He is not happy with my progress! Still at 70ish° of flexion and 10ish° of extension. I am just barely getting the swelling under control, so I haven’t pushed real hard. Just ADL’s and sometimes too much of those. Of course he...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi Folks ... this may seem minor, but I thought it was a win.:loveshwr: I was able to move my patella in all directions without resistance ... even heard a little "click" when going side to side ... perhaps the swelling IS starting to subside. (8 longggggha weeks .....)

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    @Rockgirl4 this was very true for me, especially at my first PT visit. My pain level was a strong 8 with meds when I went in and I was on the verge of tears. (Or already there, being a manly man that was hard on my ego, but I was really hurting and I’m kind of a cryer anyway) Through PT magic...

    @Roy Gardiner I appreciate the bike tips. I’m progressing very slowly, but I can tell the progress. Haven’t made it around yet, but I’ll take my 200 or so degrees. Soon .....

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    @Rockgirl4 - Thank you for this response. You've touched on 2 big areas of concern for me. As far as the brace, the OS has not given the OK for it, basically ignoring my PT's suggestions to Him. In fact I just saw my OS last Tuesday (6 weeks post) and he was concerned about the lack of ROM for...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Thank you so much @Jaycey. It is nice to know someone else has experienced similar issues. @luvcats I have been icing the glute a bit, but I probably should be doing it a bunch more. I have not heard of arnica cream nor magnesium oil. I’ll have to research those a bit and give them a try...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi folks. Just wanted to give an update on where I’m at. At my last PT appointment this past Thursday (October 17), I could tell they were disappointed in my progress. Even though I have felt they have not been too aggressive, it still takes me 36 to 48 hours to recover after a session. But...

    TKR Calf is on fire after TKA

    @Jockette & @Jamie, I’m so impressed how quickly you respond to people. You’re awesome! @Doodlemama, I’m too new at this TKR thing to give advice, but I’m confident one of these great Bonesmarties will have something encouraging for you. All the best.

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Good morning Bonesmarties. I really appreciated reading many different post in this forum. As it turned out, I did not get the JAS Friday. For the most part I really like my therapy people, but admittedly they do hurt me. I’m actually going to talk to them about that today. After therapy Friday...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Good evening folks. I over did it today. Felt great this morning, but ended up doing way more than I should have. I’m finding it so hard gauging how much I can do each day. I used to be Superman, but now being up walking around for 15 minutes does me in. So it’s Rest, Ice, Compression &...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi folks. Thanks for all the kind replies and information. I wanted to reply to each post, but I was confused on how to use the reply option. I started out by pressing “Quote This Message”, but I didn’t really mean to quote each message. So I deleted all the “quoted” message in the reply box and...

    TKR PT Mentioned the JAS

    Hi folks, new member here. I had my left TKR on September 9th. I am 29 days post op and have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, pain & depression over not "progressing" as "I" thought I should be. This all due to an excessive amount of reading many websites concerning TKR recover...
