TKR Struggling managing Pain

[Corvetteman2021]

Thanks for your continued emphasis on allowing it to heal!
Even though I have gone through this once already, I think that I along with most people have been pre-conditioned to judge improvement only by measured quantitative degrees, instead of qualitative or subjective improvement! It seems to be built into us to want to please! Keep reminding me!

I agree, outside of Bonesmart most of what we hear is “bend that knee!” and “do your exercises!” The Bonesmart approach is a refreshing, and more common sense approach to this recovery.

With my second knee using the bonesmart method....I was never measured. I could tell how I was progressing and it wasn't from pushing the bend. Icing, icing, icing and everyday movements worked for me. Sure hope it works for next week's surgery!

It’s taking me a while and I need constant reminding, but the BoneSmart method is definitely the way to go. It takes a lot of pressure off when you are not trying to measure up to a standard that hurts! Good luck next week!
