Thank you so much for a lot of information I really needed to hear from someone that can relate to me. This is my second total knee replacement. The left knee surgery went well but getting therapy was the problem because the Home Healthcare agency the hospital chose failed me. The RN came one time so therefore I ended up with my knee burning up that my little grandson said grandma you need to go to the hospital he felt the heat from my leg and he was a good piece away from me. I ended up in ER 3 times so it threw my therapy appointments off to the point where I didn’t get home therapy at all and was actually way behind. I went to my Orthopedic and had been in contact with them about what was going on, but I’m in the waiting room and my leg starts bleeding again while I’m waiting. They changed the bandage before I was called back to see him I told them I need some help here. And they were shocked cause my bandage was soaked and they said come on back, my doctor was pissed afraid it was infected, gave a letter to give the RN which never returned my calls or text. So I called the facility he work for and little good that did he had them believing he had been coming out but lied and didn’t know I had the texts he sent. So I called my insurance company and reported him to the state and told them I don’t want them to get paid for some service they’re not doing. They filed a grievance on my behalf and thought I was lying but I said I don’t have to lie I have the texts as proof. You could hear the silence on the line and his boss says can you send me the texts I said certainly. But I made it but this broken bone issue I wasn’t expecting at all because I had arthritis in both knees and steroids in both knees and last time I had gotten those shots was in mid 2018. On the subject of Neuropathy I was already diagnosed with it few years ago. I do leg rubs but I’m gonna do more often and push it down from the knee and all the good advice

Just to add to what I first wrote I’m not very stable at my age (67). I have a birth defect of Spinal Narrowing, Scoliosis, and with Arthritis affecting joints in my body I use a walker and only use a cane for very short distances. MFR not familiar with but I’m going read upon it
