Pain months after Total Knee Replacement

Narcotics really never helped with my TKR or my RTS surgeries. An ice machine was the most helpful and oh yes physical therapy is a must. My PT who rehabbed me for both my surgeries had me in his office the day after I got home. Yes it can hurt but in my experience a good surgeon and therapist are essential to recovery. And oh yes working hard on our parts to follow exercise regimen that therapist prescribes, not fun but pays off if all your hardware is good. It’s been almost 3 years since my reverse total shoulder and 7 months post TKR and I do exercise regimen every day.

Good evening @dmk. Wow....I certainly am proud of your diligence with your joint recuperation. #1 for me was ice. And #2 was feeling the improvement of strength and stability as a result of daily exercises both pre and post surgery. I combined orthopedic PT with MFR. Together that was just what was needed. I am almost 4 months post TKR and have absolutely no pain or discomfort. It was the same way with my RTS. Congratulations and thanks for sharing the results of your commitments.
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.

That’s wonderful to hear, we’re you on any anti inflammatories? Not sure if maybe that is my problem but I can’t take them due to my ulcerative colitis but I’m willing to make an exception for a week if it helps control this?
