Re: knee still tender after over a year because of wearing old shoes
Tashia
I'm going through something similar,
after my LTKR a year ago I trashed all my old shoes and got new ones (boy was that painful!) but they had horrible uneven wear.
now a year after my LTKR and 5 mo after my RTKR I'm having problems getting rid of the pain in my post RTKR
and long story short I'm again walking oddly (supentate with left and pronate with my right - looks as if it is as a result of left leg shorter than right leg) so now have a lift in my left shoe - and this weekend will be getting rid (outch) of shoes that show uneven wear.
now almost 2 full days wearing the lift I'm having less "heat and pain " in my right knee but I'm also feeling some minor aches in my left knee. Enough for me to realize that my body is noticing a difference.
I'm taking it easy on the walking as I let my body adjust. Just normal activity, no big walks with the dogs yet!!!
and tonight I have a massage!
