Hi Everybody,
I'm new to this forum and i'm here for my mom. She underwent bilateral TKR ( April 2nd, April 5th ) on her right and left knee's respectively.
RIght now, she's doing fine, in the sense that the pain isn't too unbearable( mostly cos she is on high dosage in IV meds). I'm not really sure about the PT procedures that happen in India, but there are a whole bunch of physiotherpists who do home visits and i'm hoping she shd be back on her feet slowly, but surely!
My mom is 49, and is otherwise fairly active and on her feet most of the time. Infact, the whole knee replacement thingy came as a HUGE shock and surprise to me. She has been severly ortheo-arthritic for tha past 5 years and I always thought that TKR woould be a last resort, much later on.
Anyway, I just really hope post -op it's pain free. I did spend a lot of time reading the posts in this forum and they are so helpful. Some of them are scary though. Until my mother come back from hospital( she should be home by April 12th) , I wanted to post on her behalf .
Cheers!
