TKR Patella tracking problem

[LinaDi]

I keep reading through your rehab recommendations just to remind me to be patient. My thigh (quad muscle) is very sore much of the time, and I’m still experiencing a good bit of stiffness and occasional sharp pains in my knee. Normal part of healing? It feels like slowly reaching plateaus, but healing is definitely not a straight line with little downs along with the ups. Patella still stable, though, and thankful for that. I’m just so surprised by how much this surgery, which my surgeon described as “a piece of cake,” has taken out of me! Any advice on thigh pain?

I’m still healing from a TKR and I’m having a bit of thigh pain at the moment. I find ES Tylenol and a heating pad provide a lot of relief. It took a couple days to see a significant difference but it did eventually help a lot.

Thank you! I will try that. I hope your continued healing goes well.

Hi LinaDi I too am having stiffness and occasional sharp pain in LTKR 1/10/22. Mostly if I overdo on stationery bike or walking. Trying for 2000-3000 steps a day but had to reduce and recover the past weekend. Hope you are doing well!
