Sigh...getting nervous as the procedure is tomorrow. I’ve dealt with this for 2 1/2 years and am nervous it won’t help. I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful, maybe just sullen because it’s Christmas and I was supposed to go home but can’t now that they’ve rescheduled the surgery for tomorrow. So, alone and anxious.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Good afternoon kimbles1204. I hope your surgery went well and that you are beginning to have less anxiety. Would you be able to share your surgery and recovery so far with other members so that they can benefit from your experience? I do want to make sure that you receive good information about the recovery process. And I want to pass along something that helped me. My surgeon came by and said, "Chris, you have a decision to make". Do you want your new knee to last for 5 years or for the rest of your life? He then told me to be gentle....and prepare to move slowly into former activities. May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering. Chris

How are you doing after your arthroscopic lysis of adhesions? My doctor has recommended that for me. I have had a TKR in November and an MUA in January and still have limited range of motion. I would love to hear how it worked for you.
