Hello everyone
Has anyone been through this? 1 pkr to right leg 4th to left leg october last year,if u sleep / sit with leg bent its as rhough knee area shrinks up and cant put foot ti floor.i have to sit with leg up and wait fir knee to drop back into position.this happened agsin last week.i had a fall about an hour after i have been feeling something rubbing lower front leg. As i walked it was getting more intense it felt like something snapped causing me to fall.at xray i was toldno breaks and ok i saw surgeon 2wks after he tells me hinged knee is loosening.i have yet to see my own new surgeon (mine retired). I have really had enough of all if this now.always same leg givibg me probs. Old fat guy you have been through a lot is this familiar to you.
Only can imagine what someone is going through with knee ops...I never had one even though been almost five months pain using walker they find much of my problem is in the lower back nerve intrapment causing my issues..not easy I guess having a knee op or not just dealing with the pain is enormouse & refuse to have any spine injections or taking any mind altering meds...will just keep taking the tylinol..hope & pray your recovery comes soon...God bless
Hello
Are you saying you have had 4 PKR to the lefft leg?

Not so much but I don't have The samecprosthesis as you. Through my 1st several surgeries I worked hard to get the leg straight so I sat with leg straight and worked on that. The last 2 my leg was almost straight from the beginning and I worked added on the bend. Apparently from way others have said, the more bone loss you have the harder it is to get balance and strength. My weakness has been and still is all of the soft tissue loss from the staph infections.
Ooooh of I thought you would have the answers as you also been through a lot.I will ask on Monday though if probably bone loss thx
