Hi i just want to thank everyone for there brilliant advice on my TKR i will try everything you have all said,i am very active and only have pain when physio tries to bend my knee so im lucky in one way but my bend only 45 and im so worried as i havent seen anyone on this forum with as little bend as me i bought a heat rub at weekend and have been doing squats and find that better i will keep it up go to my physio tomorrow and pray i can let him work on me,good luck to everyone and hopefully this time next year we will all be over all this.thanks again vicky.p.s you'v also gave me laughs to.x
Hope it goes well with the physio Victoria and he's gentle with you:-)))) I don't know if it makes a difference, and various things seem to affect us all differently but I found moist heat - as in hot wet flannels, worked better than a heat rub for me. But we are all different, and at least we know that whatever it is after a TKR, it's usually 'normal' LOL!
If you are completely off the opioids and other drugs, then a couple of shots of Jack before PT could be very helpful. Have someone drive you. It will hurt but you won't give a damn...
HaHa Chico thats not a bad idea i did have a glass of wine last night to celebrate my small achievement and i now realise we all heal at our own pace feeling more positive thank you for your advice and laugh's ))))
Thankk's June,im trying to stay positive from now on and this forum does help i must say great advice and a wee giggle along the way helps.keep well to.
