Total Knee Repair Revision: A Success Story

@karenjill360 I can totally relate. My initial TKR was a complete failure and a nightmare. I endured constant pain, swelling & loss of full mobility (I lived with about a 35 degree bend for 4 years). It was life altering in so many more ways than just physically. My initial response to the need for a revision was fear & lots of tears, even though I knew it was necessary. The recovery from Revision TKR was quicker - but getting there was harder. Daily PT for months starting immediately after surgery & a MUA were required. It was a success as far as I’m concerned. It got me to 100 degree bend. It got my mobility back. Hope your revision is a success.

@elaineva thank you sooo much for responding to me. You have given me hope, I'm very frightened to go through this again, but i have no choice. I hope to stay in touch with you, my surgery is scheduled for March 24th, please pray for me. Blessings Karen ❤️
