TKR Almost two years with tkr

[Newkneemelodee]

This was such a long journey and Bonesmart kept me sane. The crying and blues were so debilitating but Bonesmart and the friends made on this site made me realize it is normal. I did all the physiotherapy and my bend was slow due to swelling. I felt like I would never feel like my leg was mine. I just recently have the feeling back on the skin around my knee replacement. My knee is bending better and I can kneel on it. I can ride my bike finally. I kept reading that even in the second year you gain range of motion. That encouraged me. Everyone has a different experience. I am so grateful for this forum! I know I will need my other knee replaced and last year I vowed I would bever do it again. I probably will do it now.....but not yet. Thanks Bonesmart!

You'll notice that I have merged your newest thread with your original recovery thread. For several reasons, we prefer that you only have one recovery thread:

• That way, you have all your information in one place. This makes it easier to go back and review your history before providing advice.
• If you start new threads, you miss the posts and advice others have left for you in the old threads, and some information may be unnecessarily repeated
• Having only one thread will act as a diary of your progress that you can look back on.

So please post any updates, questions or concerns about your recovery here.

Thank you for coming back and giving us an update. It's great to know that your knee is doing well. Hopefully, your old one will not ever be bad enough to be replaced!

I am so glad to hear that your are continuing to gain functionality and have a good outcome, albeit not as quickly as you hoped. Thanks for the update!
