    TKR 3 months post op today and doing great

    It is 3 months today since my total knee replacement and correction of valgus deformity (leg straightening) and I've had very good success. I was off regular pain relief at 2 weeks post op and just took the occasional Panadols after that or an anti inflammatory if I overdid the exercise...

    TKR with severe valgus deformity

    Yes, both need doing and I originally was having the left done as it was giving me severe sharp pain. Then that resolved and I changed to the right which was always the stiffer one which ached more and which had the more pronounced valgus. Then for the last few days the left is giving me...

    TKR July 12th Surgery with Valgus Knee

    Hi there Thank you for your reply, it does help. I've been freaking out all afternoon, again, wondering if I am doing the right thing. The level of pain you experienced post op scared the life out of me:). Did you have an epidural? I am scheduled to have an epidural which will stay in for...
