Hi All
It has been 5 years since my last post. I had TKR right side Feb 1 2016. I will say this site was such a blessing to me at that time and so I find myself back again as Recently had TKR left side December 7, 2020.
My concern. This time around everything started off great, off the hop I had 100 degree bend day two. Everything was progressing well until I went off the Narcotics medications week 4. I am taking strength Tylenol, 3 times per day Now when I do my exercises I FEEL it. Most days tolerable and i get through but the last few days there has been a change. Leg is very restless, cannot find a comfortable position to rest and the weight bearing exercises and movements are painful. My surgeon did not cement my knee as I am considered young for TKR under 60. I sleep on my side and I have concerns. Did i twist it or dislocate the knee? Do i have a infection forming? Why the change all of a sudden and not the usual visible improvements I am use to seeing. I see my surgeon follow up the end of January.
thank you
