About nine months ago I had a full knee replacement, on my right knee.
I feel that at this point, I’m between 85-90% healed.
I have my doubts about reaching 100% by the 12 month mark, but you never know.
One of the milestones that I reached last week was the ability to squat all the way down.…
I had knee replacement surgery about six months ago. I figured now would be a good time to report in about what I’m experiencing.
One of the things I wanted to emphasize, is that every person’s body is different. My brother, who is 10 years older than I am, had a full knee replacement one month before mine.…
It’s been twelve weeks since I had a full knee replacement.
I know, I know. Last week I said it was the last of the knee reports. I’d also planned on having a MUCH different holiday than I did. However, instead of flying to MN to visit family, Blaze and I stayed in WA.…
Eleven weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery.
This will be the last sort of update that focuses mostly on my knee. Next week are the holidays and I’ll be busy.
After that, come January, I’m going back to my occasional accountability posts, to keep track of the things that are important at the time.…
Ten weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery done.
This last week felt like a real turning point for me. The swelling noticeably went down another notch. As did my pain levels. While my knee is still sore to the touch, when I stretch it, it’s a lot less painful.…
Yesterday, I had my final post-op surgical consult. Turns out it’s only my final one this year. They’d like for me to come back in a year, get some X-rays done, have a check up and see how I’m doing.
But this was the last one for now, unless something goes wrong and I feel as though I need to see the doctor again.…
Nine weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery done.
I know that I am getting better, but the progress is slow, sometimes.
Last Monday I had my last physical therapy session. I spoke with my PT about my pain levels.…
For my brother, this week was a turning point for him, and his pain diminished significantly. While I would like for this to be my case as well, I suspect that he and I are on very different recovery schedules when it comes to the pain.…
For me, during the aftermath of the surgery, I’ve been experiencing three different types of pain.
1. Muscle pain. This occurs not merely at the location of the surgery, but up my thigh and down my calf. This has been the easiest type of pain to deal with, as oxycodone and OTC pain meds will take care of it.…
I had full knee replacement surgery done seven weeks ago.
I am much, much better than I was. I’m having times that are pretty much pain free. I’m slowly regaining my flexibility.
What I’m really looking forward to are good weeks.…
