MUA Hello, its been a while!

Not open for further replies.
Read through all my old posts...wow. I whined alot! What a wonderfully patient and helpful bunch you all have been. I'm happy to have found this board :)
 
Wow, mornings are the absolute worst as far as the pain goes; guess I should be thankful for waking up another day :)

This hurts worse than the MUA ever did but I think it's because I made it bend further than the OS did. He only got it to 110° while asleep!

Coupled with the violent nature of that tumble down two tiled levels, I'm sure added to the overall crappy feeling, but hey, it's Friday :)
 
Things will get better. It's like a big roller coaster. Think positive. I will be praying for you.

I would get it looked at---I greatly doubt that you have injured the implant in anyway, but I would strongly suggest that you get it looked at---if anything, just for your peace of mind.

Based on what you have said, you bent the leg further than it would like to go--the implant is not at all bothered----but the tissue around it certainly is.

I'm one of the lucky ones who sleeps all night, but sure pay for it in the morning when it's been 9-10 hours since I had a pain pill!
 
If you're in pain when you wake up, why not set an alarm to wake you in the middle of your sleep to take a dose of your pain meds? I kept my pills on the night stand beside my bed with water and a small Tupperware container of crackers or brownie bites so I'd have something to keep my stomach from getting upset when taking the meds. I never had to get up and was very soon back fast asleep.
 
Good thinking. You know I'm really getting upset that all these specialists are more concerned about records than getting me in to check my knee after the fall, and the pain its causing. Why are they doing this?

It is a real pain to have all these records sent :chinstroke:. It does help for them to look for changes since your last x rays. Otherwise they might miss something.
 
I get that...but that can come later, after making sure I didnt tear any thing?
 
Good morning! I actually feel a bit better today, so y'all are very reassuring, I can't thank you enough. Still tender....Still swollen but definitely better.

I Have to fly out of town on Saturday to attend the birth of my first grandbaby but will pick up again with new OS, and hopefully a new plan of attack!
 
Good luck. And yes records are hard to get. But best of luck..
Hope you get answers.

If you are having pain, you can call the airline and have them provide a wheel chair for you. That way you will not have to walk long corriders with a painful knee.
 
I highly recommend using the wheelchair at airports. It gets you automatically to the head of the lines...no waiting!!! It's free (except you should tip the porter who gets you all that special treatment) and it's wonderful.
 
Thats a great idea! Its not as if I'd be fibbing either...im back to using my came here when I have to run an errand. So...ok. Now that I have gotten back on track and am going to follow up start with a new OS...

In everyone's experience here, what could it be, that is holding the knee from flexing? Improper size? Adhesions? I hate how limited I am, I try to ignore it most of the time but for example; the flower bed needs to be weeded, and there is no way I can get down to do it! Not that I have figured out any way.

And...can you kneel? I honestly did not know I would not be able to kneel anymore, and I am forever (well WAS) crawling around playing with rescue dogs, gardening, working on the house, etc.
 
Even after 3 1/2 years and very good ROM I am still improving by stretching. Unless there is some real issue with adhesions or scar tissue this'll work for you, too. If you've actually been doing stretches every day and they've not been working, you should consult your doctor. If you haven't been then that may be the answer, start today. Don't expect quick results.

You might well be able to kneel when ROM improves, it just feels odd/weird/gross, delete as appropriate.
 
There are several things that could be wrong with the knee---but you need to see an OS to diagnosis the problem. In the meantime, gentle stretching could not hurt and may help.

If you need to see someone for the fall, consider an urgent care facility. My OS has one in his office that is staffed with PA's who look at the problem. They will go and get an OS if necessary.
 
4:00 a.m. And the pain has me awake. Again. The bruises and pain from the fall itself have cleared but the tkr knee hurts just as badly; .o calls from records transfer yet. Im going to lose it today if someone wont see me. ER would be a waste of time because they will simply refer to an.Ortho!
 
Wow, that just sucks! We have such a screwed up medical system.
 
So...I'm back from daughters delivery, that was tramatic and wonderful and exhausting..im in love with that baby! He wasnt breathing and had to be life flighted, that sucked...but all is.well now.

So....No one will see me for second opinion! I'm stuck going to his partner....so I made an appt, we shall see
