@ConnieJOS It's nice to hear your therapy went great and your ROM is awesome too. I have had both my knees done now. My left in Feb 2014 and the right 9 weeks ago. I was told to sleep which ever way is comfortable for me. As it is, it is so difficult the first 3 week. I couldn't imagine having other constraints to deal with. I slept with a slim pillow under my leg if on my back half the time and not the other half, and between my legs if on my side. I always bent it to a comfortable place and I have never had a problem with ROM or extension. As long a you do your exercises and work on the extension, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. It will all come together in time. I wish you a good recovery.

Who would have thought the ODIC would be meeting at Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic today during my PT visit. Ouch!

 

[madinana]

@ConnieJOS yikes I guess you are the

you gladly can have my

for the ODIC club

 

[ConnieJOS]

Thanks @madinana It hurts! I'm elevating and icing. It doesn't even look like a knee!

 

[tiredwife]

@ConnieJOS You've been hanging around Laurie too long, she's rubbing off on you!

 

[ConnieJOS]

@tiredwife I really didn't realize it until it was too late. All I did was go to Physical Therapy and did what they told me. But it was obviously too much.

 

[gr82cu2]

Ouch! You really, really ODIC today! Keep it iced and elevated. Take a pain pill. You deserve some good rest.

 

[ConnieJOS]

@gr82cu2 Hi Janet! I went back and took the pic of my first TKR off your thread. It seemed inappropriate after I thought about it to draw attention to myself on your thread, especially considering what you are going through. I'm sorry!

@ConnieJOS sorry you are having the swelling. It seems to be going around. I was using cpm machine yesteray and fell asleep for an hour. I woke up with knee tight and swollen and today bruised. I don't know if my knee turned a little or what. Icing and elevating today. Hope we all have a better day tomorrow.
