I have had so much trouble since my TKR. PT essentially said they couldn't help, I needed to go home and "heal." My entire leg vibrates. It is maddening. It has been 5 1/2 months and I am so 😞 discouraged. I had a genicular ablation and not seeing much benefit. HELP?

I admire your patience and perseverance. I am on your same road, and praying I can stay the course as you did. Had trauma from the MUA and am 6 weeks in recovery from that. Bleeding and quadriceps hematoma resulted, excruciating tenderness and Pain, no weight on operated leg for at least 3. 1/2 weeks, now about 80% weight bearing. Next step mentioned is the surgery to remove scar tissue. Leg still swollen, so I hope it can wait to let it heal more from the MUA. It seems that once you’re on the difficult recovery road, you dont get off for years! Choices are difficult.
