Well hello to everyone new to this site and to those who have been hanging around for a while.
I had my RTKR on Feb 28 and have to say that it is better than it has been in many years. I had then had my LTKR on June 23 and although it seemed like things were going great, now 6 months later I have some serious pain in my left knee. I had been to my Surgeon who had put it simply to me, "STAY OFF AND DON'T DO AS MUCH AS YOU ARE DOING AND USE LOTS OF ICE". i MUST ADMIT THAT RECOVERY FOR MY SECOND KNEE WENT PRETTY QUICK SINCE IT WAS THE "BETTER" OF THE 2 tkr'S I HAD DONE. It was summer time and I had been cooped up in my house for a long time because of my first TKR. I started taking my daughter to soccer and standing for 2 hours, going to the shore and testing out the water with my new knees (which felt great) and then a couple of months later here I am looking for the GURU, Jo that's you.
I have a really sharp pain when bending my left knee, I was told it may be a bruised or partly torn ligament on the inside of my knee, my Surgeon told me that since the prosthetic looked good in the xray that I would need to heel this on my own by staying off of it and icing, well staying off of it is not really an option for me any more. I am 36 years young and live an extremely active lifestyle and have been off of my feet for almost 9 months before trying to work. I did go to a wedding about a month ago and danced for 5 hours (with the help of Percocet), now my knee already was hurting before the dancing, but I feel as if maybe I made it worse. It started to get really painful when the weather had dropped in temperature. The pain seems to be almost unbearable when I have to bend my knee on my own, not so much standing or walking but bending it on my own, if someone where to bend it for me it would be less painful. Well anyhow before I bore anyone, if anyone has some ideas please feel free to discuss them.
As for those of you who are ROOKIES, I am a pretty good person to ask for advice since I have been through alot at my young age....
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. AND ESPECIALLY TO JO ( I havent been around for a while and you messaged me to see how I have been, THANK YOU so much, this site has been the only support I had and I thank god for that) Thank You
