Total Knee Repair Revision: A Success Story

Posted by ezas123 @ezas123, Aug 4, 2022

Hi all I I am 1 week out of revision today . I must say this recovery has been so different from my first. I have so much more movement in my knee …. My leg goes straight….. my flexion work in progress but I was at .70 right out of surgery ….. I was there a year after tkr…..struggling of course with inflammation which I expected….I am icing and going to my therapist to help with edema…. I started pt this week also so you know how it goes take to where you can than push little more…..the pain really sucks going through this all over again I have not forgot the pain from last time … but the difference is I know I am seeing results already….even with the pain for right now I am so glad I did revision….. good luck to others going through and might be going through this .

Hi all been awhile since I updated…as of late I am struggling…I am in pain even walking but I go out everyday for an hour ….my flexion has regressed to 90 my extension between 5-10 so hence that’s why the pain …. I have been exercising and rolling my leg …. It never stops ever since my first tkr ….i have been exercising and more to gain extension and flexion…. But I can’t maintain it even after revision …. I am not complaining I am better now with the revision…..I am exhausted , going for mfr on Thursday hope helps loosen leg up … I am also trying caster oil patch on my knee , been doing like 6 weeks suppose to break up scar tissue we will see …. I know I have done everything I can for the last few years …. My other knee is being affected so have pain in both knees ughhh ….dr suggested partial in other knee due to bone on bone …. I said no …. I want to try hyaluronic gel , dr said does not blame me for what I have gone through…..so that is where I am … hopefully you are in better place… thanks for reading
