TKR 3wks in

Bones, joints and muscles

Hi all

Just a wee update at the 3wk mark, pain remains around 3 on the 1-10 scale now, and increases to 4-5 after exercise . Still on Solpadol  30/500 since leaving hospital .

I have now started walking with one crutch which is going pretty well, still cannot walk properly without that support, and still undergoing physio once a week

Rom is 0- to just over 90 degrees, up 10 on last week. I have noticed I am getting a lot more hip pain ( due to be replaced next , and the timing to be discussed with my Consultant at the 6 wk appointment)

So all in all pretty happy with how it's all going, I still get very tired even after walking say 300 yards, but guess it's very early still and my body is likely still trying to get over the surgery.

Hi Clive

Well done you! Sounds as if you are getting there.

Keep on doing what you're doing, it's still very early days but well done. 🤗🤗🤗

I too am still on Solpadol 30/500 as I am waiting to go back on the list for the left knee. See the surgeon in June (6 months from last check), then hopefully on the waiting list for TKR mk2!!

Good luck with your rehab. 🍀🍀🍀
