I had my TKR done in January and developed an infection in the scar that made my leg swollen and unable to bend for about 4 weeks so Physio was slow getting started. I have alot of scar tissue which stops my knee from bending more that 101 degrees presently. The knee area is painful and it is hard to sleep more than a few hours at night.
The physio triggered a trapped nerve in my back so I now have hot tingling feeling down from hip to knee.
I had hoped for a better recovery and continue to do physio at home twice a day.
Reading other peoples experiences have given me a helpline of sorts and i am so glad people share their stories.
As of yesterday my surgeon says there is nothing he can do because he believes anything more intrusive will cause more scar tissue than i have now.
I am hoping i come across some suggestions to help me move forward.
