Hi all!
I had a left tkr on 6-17 so I'm at about 4 weeks post op. I was supposed to get a partial, in fact it was all installed but my legiments or tendons (I don't know what holds what in place lol) weren't keeping everything in place & I had a 30% chance of it blowing out. So my surgeon didn't like those odds & went ahead with the total. I was disappointed but I'm grateful it was obvious so I didn't have to deal with 2 surgeries!
I had pt in the pool for the first time a couple days ago & loved it. I got a little overconfident afterwards & overdid it with walking etc. So my knee was quite swollen that night & yesterday.
I have a question...ever since the pool PT I've had a lot of skin pain. It was just numb before and tickly feeling with sheets or air blowing on it. I did get a slight sunburn (wont forget the sunscreen again!) but mostly its nerves...I think. I get these needle-like shooting zaps going across my scar. It's also sensitive to anything touching it, or air blowing across it. No more tickling, just pain & its driving me crazy! It's also making icing very difficult. Any ideas??
