Welcome to the July Sparklers' 2018 Knee Recovery Club

I have brought forward this month's list so that you can easily see who your surgical buddies are.

You are now an Honor Graduate

from your pre-op days! You've entered the recovery phase of your replacement journey to that place called “Normal”, and you are now eligible to be a

Recovery Club member.

Pre-op surgery team members are automatically recovery team members. If you were not on the pre-op list, please join your fellow travelers in this month’s post-op club by requesting your name and surgery date be added to the roster.

Being a team member will allow you to share your

questions, concerns, and experiences; give one another

support and encouragement;

vent, whine, and shed some tears, if necessary; and have some

fun and laughs together. (Please do the above in one another’s recovery threads. And if you find your fun and laughs taking over an individual thread, toss them over to the Social Room to keep your recovery thread on target.)
Recovery is a long journey

made shorter and easier when made with

fellow travelers. So, start you membership in this special club today by requesting that your name and surgery date be added to the list!

Please add me. TKR on right knee 7.24.18. TKR on left knee two years ago.

This one hurts so much more. I’m reading the forums tonight and am realizing I am pushing myself too far. I had planned to return to work this next week at half time, but I’m not ready.

[Tiggerlb]

Please add me. Right TKR on July 10. Have been doing great until last few days. A lot of “burning” sensation around incision. Was able to go all night without pain medicine. It not the last few days. PT did astym on it yesterday. Hoping that helps. Anyone else experience this?

 

[BocaKnee]

I've had a lot of discomfort lately and my surgery was on July 23. I had a serious complication and actually have 3 incisions, so my experience may not be typical. I must admit that I am frustrated at how long the pain and funky sensations are lasting. I've been putting some vitamin E on my incisions and using Homeopathic Tramheel on my leg. Not sure if it's helping, but it makes me feel that I am doing something!!!!

 

[Alohajmb]

TKR, July 27.

 

[beachbuoy4]

I'd be interested to hear how much going out is being done by my July friends. I've been on two aeroplane trips, one to Ireland and one to Spain, since my tkr on right knee on 10th July. Both of the trips caused me real difficulties and quite a lot of pain but I think I would go insane if i couldn't get out of the house socially. I've been doing reasonably well I think but have had quite a few problems with the tendons at the back of my knee. It seems that my knee had not been healing in a straight position as a result. I'm now doing fairly excruciating exercises to straighten it by stretching those tendons. Anyone else with similar trouble?
