@contentandwell : Here’s where I miss to respond privately, sometimes. I do my own pant hemming, so no reference from before TKR. This seems so insignificant compared to someone considering amputation of limb, so I sort of feel bad to just put minor, but to me very limiting and aggravating leg issues on here. I at least get the consensus that mostly, the surgeon who did the TKR is less than thrilled to deal with problems of any kind afterwards? Does this hold true? My OS is always available to see me and talk about any issues - not sure there are “issues”, surgery went fine, recovery reasonable, after that hip bursitis, etc.
Same OS went through shoulder surgery around 2009, close to when I did. He was extremely more in tune the next time I had my second shoulder surgery, and I also beat his range of motion by 10% at the time, him being 10 years younger than I am. Just saying, He actually opened the consulting room door and shouted down the hallway to his PA to show me off. A lot of good it did me. The super outcomes of 2 shoulder surgeries probably made me too confident of the TKR surgery and gave me high expectations. Did not do my homework. Never heard of stem cells...... my bad.
