    TKR Birdwatcher's recovery thread

    Hi Birdwatcher I had a left knee replacement 4 years ago and while my new knee is fantastic, I don’t like the feeling I get when I kneel on that knee. In all other positions my knee feels like it is a natural part of my body, but when I kneel on it the bionic knee feels artificial and...

    THR THR after failed femoral neck fracture pinning

    Thank you @Layla and @FCBayern for your well wishes!! Three months out and still doing well overall. I don’t have to use a cane anymore but need to keep focusing on my gait to make sure I don’t start waddling if tired. My back bothers me some if I walk too long, or bend too much from gardening...

    THR THR after failed femoral neck fracture pinning

    @Layla Thank you so much for your well wishes! Today my back hurts after making a big trip to the grocery store. With the new Stay at Home order in Virginia I have to make my grocery visits very infrequent and buy hundreds of dollars worth of groceries. At least they had toilet paper! I went...

    THR THR after failed femoral neck fracture pinning

    @Layla Thank you so much for the two month anniversary wishes!! I am doing great. Walking around the house without a cane and just using the cane outdoors for safety.

    @VSlowLife Were you able to send xrays and incision photos to your OS and save yourself a trip to NY? Hope you can do that !! I think your cold is probably increasing your heart rate. Mine was in the 80s when I was ill. Glad to hear your hip is recovering nicely, driving in the driveway...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Broke head of Femur in January 2020

    @Mandie4711 I am so sorry to hear about your son with cancer!!! My prayers are with both of you. I was very depressed after my hip fracture and I did not have the added stress that you have with your son. Smoking has been shown to impair/slow bone healing so if you can cut down as much as...

    THR My Recovery Journey

    @Sweetpea39 On Jan 29 I had a LTHR with posterior lateral approach and so far I am doing fine. You will have hip precautions— 90 degree bending rule, no crossing legs/crossing past midline, no toe-in on operated side, but I have found them not a problem at all if you have a reacher to pick up...
