Revision TKR I just got my new knee.

Angel,
You may be a little more knock kneed on the right, should not be a problem.
I would not worry about your knees not touching, it could just be your thighs.
 
Pumpkln the sugury will be in August but not sure. Looks weird to me knees. But they is ugly lol. Just hoping he can fix it this time with 1 sugury. It's just to much. I think I'm just depressed.

Angel, you need to have someone take the photo for you so it can be straight on. In these photos you are shooting down on your knees and it's impossible to see alignment. Either have someone take it for you or stand in front of a mirror and take it.
 
Thanks, Angel. I'm going to tag @Josephine to have a look for you. She's off the forum for a few days, but she'll comment when she returns.
 
@ Jamie

My mom tells me that my legs look weird like they're not even. Which I can tell a difference when I stand to but I can't extend my leg all the way out either without a cause me a significant amount of pain.

Hi @Angel1978
Oh I feel for you - all we all want is straight forward answers! To have this plus rebellious teenagers is hard. I have no answers just lots of warm vibes wishing you some answers and some action. You deserve it x
 
Thanks sometimes I just get really worried because I want it to be straight but you know i can wait.

I hope my above message was not misunderstood. I meant we want straight forward answers when we are all so different it is not possible. This was not a dig that Bonesmart did not give straightforward answers!

Hi everyone just a quick update. Physical therapy today and I thought I was going to lose it. I was so weak before I went. I thought it would help me cause I had not been. Boy was I insane.

Start our with stretching. Then did some kind balancing on this weird thing. Then she said move knees back forth. Then she said step up and over it. Then side to side. That was ok. Then she said I'm going to put a band around knee and you're going to square dance walking left to right end up right to left in square. Odd it it was fine then she wanted me to put my leg in band that was on the leg of bed and then move back for 20 times okay that was fine. Then she proceeded to make me lay down put my feet on a ball do the bends but lifts knee bends on ball with but lifts. That was hard. I started getting really aggravated because she wanted me to do extensions bends walk squats.

I just plainly said no I'm not doing all that I am very tired and my leg is hurting and as you can tell if my leg is swollen. It's hot red and back burning She proceeded to say okay well we are going to see how far your extension and bend is. I said fine but I need a break okay take a break she did it my band is 106 and my extension is 10 not good at all but I am so glad that I don't have to go there anymore because my regular PT was not there.


Friday is my last day there as it remains I am not where doctor wanted me to be but I can do these exercises at home following this form because I refuse to let her push me around and do me the way that she did me new or not new she can find somebody else that I let her tortcher them. Cause I was a mess. I I ended up walking to the table where the other PT's was and I said I'm going to go on bike and ice. Keep her away from me. I was in tears. The facility wow jerks. I assume my reg pt was in house.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention when she was trying to get my bend good she was really rough. I hurt fully
was getting mad. I said don't push any further or you will pay for it.. Just so happen to be a cup with lid of water on the bed so needless to say it went in her lap whoops... She jumped up like she had ants in her pants. But she was warned. Not once not twice but 3×4 times. Geez I'm so bad. She had me on belly and kept pausing and pushing I kept tap on table. She told my son mom wants to tap out. But this was before she was soaked. See I had played it off anyways. Cause way she was set and bend me. So she sets down to grab weights . And she says roll over. Oops water. Anyways she was shocked. But accidents do happen.

Anyways I had to take me a pill when I got home. And been Ice and prop up. I just can't wait till it's over. Get a break till August.

Today is final pt day. And I think that knee doing as good as it can. But I hurt real bad. Ache pain can't sleep. Dread to bend. And really don't want to walk. It hurts bad. Down back calf and pop again. Oh lord is all can say. Really getting depressed about it all. Any advice. Bend goes down. And extension goes up. Just so heart breaking. Seem I try. And I do general gentle excerise and don't push self. And I'm lagging behind. Doc said get to o and least get to 115 bend. I was there :-( just some times I wounder. Is it worth it.

@Jamie @Pumpkln or anyone. Can you tell me why Rom goes down and extension goes up.

I've been doing all I can. Gental and not over do it.

At my pt today bend was 102 was almost at 120. And extension was 5-2 know it's back to up 10

I have talk to pt and OS. OS just said extent of damage and must practice. Pt And they say I'm not doing enough. Wrong answer for them. I can kill self for them. Gez. I am getting so depressed. I go back to OS in July start on other knee cause it kills me. Like rip and constant pain.

Not a good day. Lots pain. Restless night. I just want to cry. OS is not available on weekends. Gez. Anyways just makes me so sad.

I get up and can't walk good. Takes me forever to get started. Going on 3 days know of feeling sad. Feet tingle.

Just wish I could do more. Went from couch to bed and thought I was going go mad cause of pain. Took Meds rested for a few then awake. Gez.

See my exercises thread (from sig below) for stretches to help.
I've been so upset here lately. Lack of rom and extension. Love reading post of happy replacements. Makes me wish it all would hurry up and be well. But it's take forever. Xxx
It takes time, it really does. But that's all it takes, it works All By Itself.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Just sometimes I get nervous. I did good. Then boom down. Know I won't have no more Pt. it be all on my own. And I guess that what scares me. I am praying I can get things situated to get me a stationary bike. That seem help me a lot. I set with leg on chair straight till the pain starts hurt and I fill burning. Xxxxx


And I don't see no signature for excercise.
