Hello, just an update of my progress to hopefully encourage others on this tkr journey. I’ve seen much progress. The tightness is nowhere near what it was a few months ago. The incision is less sensitive and I’m no longer feeling like the surgery was not successful. It’s like everyone said; it takes time to heal. I think my aqua therapy twice a week has really helped a lot. I’m back to dancing and wearing high heels ( no more than 2.5 inches high) for short periods of time. I still get some swelling if I’m really active but I rest, elevate and ice. Patience and staying active is the key. It does get better. Good luck to everyone.
Thank you for your progress....it is encouraging to me!
Great news.. had both knees done 6 weeks apart.. right knee is 9 months and doing good.. my left is is about 7 months and still struggle with a tight feeling on the knee.. so I’m praying it will go away.. makes it tough to bend back.. glad to hear your doing better and there is hope for my knee.. thanks for the update.
Thank yoy for sharing I am at 10 weeks and going back to work today! I still have stifness especially at night . I’m off all pain medication and walking without any assistance (no cain)! I’m very nervous about going to work but the time has come! Thanks again for the encouragement!
