Iontophoresis after total knee replacement

Had bilateral TKR 7/23/19. Had terrible hyperextension of both knee afterward and in 4/1/21 had rods put in right knee which made my leg an inch longer than the other. I’ve had pain and numbness the entire time. There is some swelling still. I’ve had lots of PT! I have trouble doing stairs, standing and walking even short distances now. My pain mgmt doc said some people will have chronic pain the rest of their lives. I guess you are like me. Sorry. I wish there was something more to do. On hydrocodone 10 at least 3-4 times day and night.

My ortho told me that as well however I kept pursuing answers. I'm still sore over the knee itself but the fascia in my quad muscle is getting better and I can move it easier. I can do stairs (I have a two story) but my problem is as the day goes on and I am doing more it is sore and stiff but by morning is better and more tolerable and I don't notice it till later in the day. No way could I do hydrocodone especial that often as it really constipates me to the point of no return. I had to do a bowel prep 9 days after my surgery and won't do that again. I hope that things get bette for you as I'm sure you are miserable. I haven't had all the issues you have had. Praying you finally get where you want to be.
