Well left knee is not doing well on Wednesday the OS is going to scope it. My flexion is 80 and my extension is -10 my knee is so stiff and because of it I limp really bad. My right knee is 110 /0 ... bummed
 
Oh no, that's not good news, any idea why it's happened? Is your husband still having his TKR too?

No reason, and yes Craig is having his surgeries Nov 1 and 4th. After his surgeries he is going to an acute rehab facility and then his parents for a bit.
 
Oh Janis I am sorry to hear that you are getting scoped. :cry: I hope the scope helps you though. :SUNsmile: Great that your right knee is doing well! :yay: Best wishes to you on your upcoming arthroscopy. Please keep us posted.

Take care :flwrysmile:
 
Good luck with the scope, I hope it is nothing serious. Keep us posted. :console2:
 
Yes, I hope it goes well for both of you. Hoping you'll have some help at home when you've had the arthroscopy as well.
Sue.
 
Janis - good luck to you! Let us know how you do after your scope.

Hugs,
Denise
 
Well good news no scope on my left knee but the OS did do bi-lat MUAs. Once they had me under, the OS was examining my knees closer and decided to go that route. Been home 30 minutes, right now I feel okay ... will see once local wears off.
 
WOW! bilateral MUAs! Please let us know how you're doing. Remember the mantras---rest, elevate, ice, and pain meds if needed; and slow and easy with the exercise and general getting around.
 
Hi Janis, I have just caught up with your post.
Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hope your bilateral MUA is successful and makes things better for you.
Have a nice easy day. Hope you are getting some TLC.
Hugs coming your way, Toothfairy x :console2: :flwrysmile:
 
Last night I actually slept on my stomach, I have not done that in years! My knee were flat on the mattress! Today is mantra day! Ice, elevate and medicate. Not too much pain yet but I just woke up.
 
Whoa...Bi-lateral MUAs?! I hope you are doing okay!

I'm thinking of you.

Hugs,
Denise
 
I do hope you at doing well . I can not imagine how you had h two replacement surgeries so close together. Then this new surgery . You are one strong lady . I had a hard time with PT the first day because I had a mental block when it came to putting the weight on right leg first such as the steps . I felt like I could not do it . You are amazing .

Hope it all goes well from here on out. Any explanation of why some knees require this? I don't really understand it.

I wish I knew! My PT told me to keep doing my stretches at home otherwise it will stiffen up again. How long before it "catches" ? Today after the MUAs I had 126 on right knee and 102 on left!
