I am noticing that some of my right knee issues re: slight swelling and discomfort on the stairs are starting to improve. I am coming up on a year post btkr, and I am beginning to think I am going to be one of the ones who may not achieve full recovery by one year, but who will continue to improve for months past that milestone date. I have an appointment next Tuesday for my one year follow up, and it is with a surgeon who did not perform the original btkr last year. I am seeing him because I have moved out of state, and want to establish a relationship with an orthopedic doctor where I am currently living. I will ask this new doctor about the right knee lingering issues, and am hoping to be reassured that all is well. I feel as though that is the case, so I feel optimistic. I truly cannot believe an entire year has gone by. I will post an update after I see this new doctor next week.
Meanwhile, would admin kindly change my thread title to making good progress at one year post btkr? Thanks so much, as always.
