Try very hard to shake off what the GP said. She is not an orthopedic specialist. It’s like having a dentist comment on your knee situation. But I know how hard it is to get comments from others out of our heads.
You are so right, improvements can be so very far apart!@Marguette thank you for your comments you are so right to take the positives but they are so very far apart it’s easy to forget there has been a great improvement throughout these 5 months.
Being warmer than the other knee is normal and a sign that your knee is still healing. I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets hot. With activity it will probably get even a little warmer, but not hot. It's good that you're going to get it checked out. I still swelled some even after a year. Sometimes it just takes longer for some of us to completely heal.no it’s not hot really but it is warmer than the left knee.
I feel the same way! My personal opinion is that even though consciously we have no memory of the surgery, I think our mind and body does remember it.But this knee has taken me to the brink. I know that sounds dramatic but it’s the only way to express jyst how much of a punch in the face this has been. I feel battered.
Amazing!and concluded my problem is swelling. I think we all on this forum knew that anyway.
I love this!hope you are still making strides haha get it! in your recovery.
Exactly!I nodded and thanked him with no intention whatsoever of pushing through anything.
If they would just be honest about this in the beginning it would save us a lot of stress!12-18 months he said it could take for me to see any benefits. Slight difference from his original 6 weeks.
I feel the same way.Depression swirls around me but so far so good it’s not taken over
