TKR Pain after 2 years

[sistersinhim]

I'd go to work for pizza, too!

A bubble bath sounds heavenly! And great that a brace is helping to lesson the swelling.

Thanks Sistersnhim! Yep, I can be bought with free food!

We have a MAJOR cold front coming to western Arkansas tomorrow (thanks, Canada), and the new knee is definitely giving me a heads up about it! It’s stiff and swollen, but some Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire and an ice pack should make it feel better. I hope it’ll let me shop tomorrow, since the cold front is due to arrive tomorrow night.

My knee still hurts and feels very wooden when I am outside in the cold. I don’t like it either!

 

[sistersinhim]

Those weather knees will go away in time. Mine did, thank God!

My first knee was a barometer for about 6 months but not since. Hang in there.

 

[G.i.jane]

Thanks y’all! The front is finally here, and the knee has settled down.. it’s not hurting, just stiff.

 

[G.i.jane]

Wishing everybody a Happy New Year!!

 

[Jockette]

Happy New Year to you, too!

I think my knee is a better weather predictor than the tv weatherman. It sure let’s me know when a cold front is looming!

 

[sistersinhim]

As if I didn't already know, my knee tells me when it's extremely cold outside! I thought once the arthritis was gone the weather reporting knee would be gone. Not yet!

 

[Jockette]

My pre-surgery arthritic knee never hurt in the cold, but this replaced one sure does!

Is it spring yet?

Love this topic! I always thought I was crazy when all my joints would hurt a day before any weather system came through. The funny part is the only joint that doesn’t hurt (ache) now is the new knee.

Great that you aren't having a weather knee in your new one!

 

[G.i.jane]

Just about the time the new knee has settled down.. here comes another cold front! I can’t wait until spring.. then I’ll get headaches from the tornado fronts that come through!

 

[G.i.jane]

Thought I would try to work a shift without my compression brace.. BIG mistake! By the end of the night, the new knee was swollen and whiny, so, lesson learned! It’s ok “naked” for a shopping trip, or doing chores around the house, but it needs support for 8 hours on concrete floors. Live and learn.

 

[G.i.jane]

There’s a MASSIVE cold front coming through Arkansas right now (we’ve had several tornado warnings), and the new knee is being whiny. I can’t wait until spring!!

 

[Jockette]

Come visit me, it’s going to be about 60 tomorrow. I’m thrilled my knee will get a break. However it will probably be very short lived as we have rain and thunder coming in Tuesday and that upsets my knee also.

Is it spring yet??

 

[G.i.jane]

I guess you’re gonna get what Arkansas is getting right now! It was 70 today, but we’ve just had severe thunderstorms and a tornado warning, and it’s supposed to be 40 in the morning.. brrr!!
