Hi All,
My left knee has been getting worse for several years, but last year my left hip went bone on bone. Dec 10, 2018, I had a THR and have had a fabulous outcome. But the strain on the left knee made it really cranky and if anything impacted my post op rehab, it was what that knee would tolerate.
I talked with my surgeon and we decided to watch it over the summer. It is bone on bone and the bones weren’t perfectly aligned.
My LMT who specializes in pain management, has helped me a lot using what is called The Berry Techniques. Even so, I’ve found going down hills or even slopes, uneven ground, (even my own gardening), walking on gravel or cobblestones etc has forced me to wear a knee brace and or use walking sticks. Not going to get better so going bionic to get my life back.
Doctor told me I should expect a similar outcome as I had with my hip so that has reduced the nerves.
I will do this and take my life back with bionics . Left TKR Oct 21, 2019
