    PKR QdogPa recovery

    @Reh63 when I think back, everything you describe seems to be the norm. I didn't believe I was going to get this right and some days the anxiety and fear really wanted to take over. This site has been my saviour, any doubts, advice has really been the best. PT, only had 2 sessions showing what I...

    PKR 10 weeks post op/lots of pain

    @Lsilva please don't put yourself through unnecessary PT. I had PKN 21 Jan and had it not been for this fabulous site giving me the guidance I would have been a wreck. What a shock this surgery is, never experienced pain like it, never believed recovery could take so long, but I am a couple...

    PKR How to walk?

    @Qdogpa many thanks for your update. It's hard when we seem to be progressing and then bham, back we go. I am trying to focus on my gait as I have been limping g far too much, still don't go Down the stairs yet. My mindset just got way out of control, so annoyed and upset but as my partner...

    PKR How to walk?

    @aperture you could be right. When can we turn our knee is the question. Will be mindful from now on. Can go upstairs no prob, but still come down baby steps. Just really been beating myself up as was doing so well. Started driving 2 weeks ago, auto and 4 x 4 so no probs getting in and out...

    PKR PartialFix -- Recovering...

    @partialfixFeb wonderful post. It surely helps when hearing others progress doesn't it. Like you, yes carry on doing this that and pretty good, but then my poor knee obviously felt neglected and reminded me to get real. Been on a real downer as it feels gone backwards a little. I have cbd oil...

    PKR How to walk?

    @tyke yes silly isn't it. Just think can get on and do so much, but deep down inside says, No, too much. This really does take time and I suppose frustration plays a big part. Have to accept the good and bad days, but it's not easy when we start to conquer some things. Just bought more books...

    @Sara61 thank you so much for your reply. One part of me says that I have tried too much, even dancing exercises, afterwards that little man says "Oh silly". Will carry on with ice, ice, ice. What a journey this is, I am 5 years remission breast cancer and without being disrespectful, coped...

    PKR How to walk?

    @Qdogpa so annoying isn't it. Probably too much walking albeit not far at all, then carry on with chores at home. Been trying to stop every 1 hour to sit with ice. Horrible feeling, just like skin stretching. Also still numb below knee, how long before nerves come back????? The trouble is, we...
