Wow time flies, it has been almost a year since I updated my thread.
For those of you are wondering how long we keep healing, it has been 3 years since my revision, my knee is still getting better. Never give up, keep searching for what is going to work for you and your healing.
Last fall I started a short course of PT with a therapist I have confidence in, and who is well trained in Strain/Counterstrain. We worked and problem solved together to figure out how my gait, pelvic and hip stabilizer muscles (some of which were on vacation) were not working properly. Some over working, some underworking. Once we got them in balance and figured out what few activities I need to do to maintain the change. WOW it has been a world of difference, my knee is the most comfortable it has been in years, my SI joint is practically pain free, and walking is now a pleasure.
Last fall I had serious trouble with my blood pressure going off the chart and becoming very hard to control. Decided I needed to make a commitment to lose weight in December, and have since lost 10% of my body weight. I feel much better, have more energy, my cholesterol went from 255 to 199, blood pressure is down, I am taking one less BP medication, and my BP is the lowest it has been in a long time.
Recovery and is multifaceted, focus on getting healthy and finding the right people. Patience, knowing when enough is enough, and perseverance.
