my 78 year old dad just had this done and 2 weeks out he was practicing his golf swing. he walked on it 1 day after surgery. after around 3 weeks he is cutting back on his pain meds, and is hoping to start driving soon. he had the other knee done around 2 years ago, and its working great.
Had my right knee replaced back in July of this year. Very happy with the results. Problem is I’ve been bowlegged all my life, so when the good doc replaced my knee joint, he straightened out my leg, making it almost two inches longer. Now I walk around all lopsided. Left knee replacement is scheduled for November 30th, I’m nervous but excited to be able to move naturally again and get outside and do all the things, walking, hiking, bicycling, living!👍🏻
I have bilateral knee replacement 4 years ago,, I was back at work 3 months after surgery,, I am a paramedic and the Dr was comfortable with me kifting as I have to do,,I was 56 when I had the surgery done,,I guess I am lucky to have recovered so quickly,,, I workrd hard on my rehab,,I pushed myself harder each day and it paid off,,I would do both knees again at once if need be,,I am a new man after the surgery
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "do cortisone shots for knee pain work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ieyameron Unexpected Improvement - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to end your mind-numbing knee pain minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
I am one month into my niece surgery I'm feeling the difference already. Physical therapies I start Minds tomorrow I like with this gentleman was saying it will not be the same in certain ways but to me the pain is gone I can least go out and go walking and be normal again :-) thank you for this video
I had a TKR 4 1/2 years ago. Im 60 now. I do not run. I do not jump, play sports or anything like that. I had an infection in the " new knee " I spent some extra time in the Hospital. Too much extra time. I was angry, had the pitty party. Why me? Its always me ? that kind of stuff. But looking back. Getting a new Knee was one of the best decisions I ever made. I can walk miles now. I can live a normal life. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. ! Throw away your crutches. Throw away that box of Kleenex. I may be a wee bit old. But my knee is good. And so is my life !!
must add a little comment. Had a bilateral 3 months ago. I am 71 years old. get off the walker day two and use crutches. much , much better. I am one of the lucky 85%.. I can now walk for hours, use a bike ( very theraputic) swim. climb trees , carefully. still can`t run, (not a problem) no pain at all. can kneel on both knees. feels odd but not painfull. Drove a car on day 7,, yes day 7.. this is not a difficult thing to do. from watching the video, I can not understand why these patients do not do the most obvious thing to help themselves.......LOSE WEIGHT..
I am 3 months out from a right TKR. 3 months of rehab and I was not happy with my progress until I read some of the comments here. At zero extension and 115 flexion. Knee still hurts, cannot kneel and knee feels numb, very warm and swells after exercise. Been reading about the x10 therapy machine and when my left knee is done I will bite the financial bullet and try it, anything would be better than the extreme pain in rehab.
I'm in week 5 of my tkr. I drove the second week. I thought I had done all the therapy I could do, until they threw me a curve! LOL it wore me out!! I'm so very happy to walk without pain!! No cane for two weeks, but I'm still a fall risk so I don't go crazy! LOL
I did 15 deep knee bends , an 10 full lunges with my supportive leg touching the ground after 3 weeks , I walked in 1/2 mile stints , an I was climbing stairs after 7 days , used no crutches or walking aids . I’m 63 an I’ve trained in all types of sports since I was 14 so 45+ years constantly, this was the key to my success as I’m No stranger to pain , endured dozens of injuries for me a total knee replacement was just another pain I had to endure to overcome , I’m a tower crane op by trade . Have to pass a very stringent Working at Heights medical, safety critical, that’s next . Had my surgery on 29th Jan . Pleased with everything considering My age as past my prime .
I hope you got your surgery done. I just underwent TKR surgery on May the 5th. I got the Smith & Nephew Legion. So far, so good. I was off narcotics four days after surgery. Walking with a cane by day three post opt. To using cane very little. My mobility has improved greatly.
You did not discuss hips in this video. I am having one done and need info. Please send me info about the procedure, recuperation and postoperative excercises
Remember they cut ACL&PCL so medical and lateral ligaments are only thing to stabilize. This just takes time. It takes at least a year for full recovery. Avoid any infection, antibiotics for everything, dental, urology, etc.
8 years ago a consultant told me I had stage 4 arthritis in my left knee and I could have a replacement..I declined as I wasn't in any pain and I cycled alot probably had good surrounding muscle support..fast forward to 2023 I've got a cyst the size of my fist on the inside of my knee..consultant all keen to get rid of it..after mri scan asked if I could live with it..I really wanted it gone..so he advised due to arthritis a knee replacement..yes I had some knee issues but not like some folk..he said I'd need a tkr in the future and just removing the cyst would cause problems down the line ..he wanted to do both at the same time..I slightly reluctantly agreed..had it all done..its only been 1 month on ..but wished I'd left it if I'm honest
I am approaching my 4th month since my knee replacement surgery. I still have swelling around the knee. I also have a burning and tingling sensation around the knee and it goes down my leg into my foot. Also my knee feels like there is a very tight band around it. Sometimes when I get up from sitting or laying I get a sharp pain in the knee making it difficult to walk. It usually goes away after I walk a few feet. My doctor said during my last visit if the swelling does not go down by the next visit he wants to x-ray my back to see if there are any problems with that. Although I have no pain in my back he said back issues effect the healing process of the knee. Doctors are not upfront with you about everything that you go through from TKR surgery and afterwards. My doc said I would be back to work in 3 months. Now I am wondering if I will every go back. I have a cementless implant which recovery is longer because for the first month you can not put your full weight on your foot. This is another thing the doc did not tell me. This video was informative and honest. Having a TKR is definitely a learning experience.
JDean1953, I completely understand your problem. I too am 3 months after knee surgery & still have great pain. I cannot sleep at night & the pain will not stop. My Dr. is no help & I am not sure they tell you the full truth. They say most are fine, but what about the 10 to 15% that are NOT OK? If my pain does not go away soon I will chose to have my leg amputated to get rid of the pain. I may have to travel abroad to have the amputation but it will be worth getting rid of the pain. Lots of luck & I hope by now your knee is better as for me I will proceed for a few more months before I proceed as stated.
Has your doctor checked for infection? I am over 7 months and no improvement. In fact the leg gets stiff if I am in one position for very long. I also work 10 hours a day on concrete floors which doesn't help matters either. When I come home from work, I basically rest the knee by elevating and icing it so I can work the next day. My doc says he wants to wait 9 months before proceeding on. Then he will draw fluid out of the knee and have it analyzed for infection. If there is an infection that will not be good. That requires a revision. Which means operating on the knee, taking out the prosthetic, irrigating the bone and tissues with an antibiotic solution, then put an antibiotic cement in, closing the knee up, go on an antibiotic IV for 6 weeks. When there is no more sign of infection, then they open you back up and put in a new prosthetic which is coated with an antibiotic.Many people have told me it can take up to a year to fully recover from knee replacement surgery. It is definitely more than I expected.
Bob Dillow I know exactly how you feel Bob. I had my knee replacement nearly 6 months ago and still have to use a walking stick. My problems sound very much like yours, terrible pain despite strong pain killers. My knee does not bend properly and it is not straight. I have physio & hydro plus I walk and exercise as much as possible. I was taken back into hospital 5 months after my opp because of the lack of movement, my surgeon tried to straighten my knee under a general anesthetic but failed. What chance is there then of me being able to get more movement if the surgeon couldn't do it. I wish I had never had it done.
I am now into my 18th month since my knee replacement and still in a lot of pain, unable to bend my knee properly and my mobility is down the pan. I should never have had the opp done.
I noticed at the start of the vid that the bone drilled out wasnt immediately "sucked away" That didnt make sense to me as dentists always suck away debri whilst they work.
Hi I am about to have replacement in JAn/Feb 2014. I have always been a sportsman. Still am. 3 x 50 lengths freestyle swims per week. Dancing 3/4 times per week to a high standard Argentine Tango needing to pivot and turn a lot. I would like to ski again but am prepared to wait on that!! My Q is Do I haveto use sticks and crutches. I didnt use them at all after 2 x arthroscopies. Not a hero just determined to get back quickly and did. Did all my exercises. Same with rotator cuff surgery which took just over year but my front crawl is as good as ever. Dancing is important to me. Can I push myself? It doesnt have any real load bearing just my weight which is quite slim and not overweight. Tango is mainly walking and turning. Love the Vid. Also is epidural viable in a sit up and watch position? Iam not squeamish and have watched other procedures. tks
I am 6 weeks post TKR and not in a lot of pain but having problems bending. My leg is very straight. Do exercise alot. Any advice. Thought about going get a massage to see if that will help me to bend.
June Lafleur I’m two mo in and went to therapy and massage therapy the massage helped a lot I have a flexion of 125 and I atone it to massage helping to loosen up the muscle .
good video I'm having a knee replacement surgery done in 3 weeks . I'm a below the knee amputee my surgery will be on the same leg it's either get my leg amputated above the knee or knee replacement .so thanks for the video
Today 12/10/2021 I went for my first consultation with a knee specialist with the idea of having both knees replaced. He did his very best to persuade me not to have a knee replaced. Instead I settled on a steroid injection and agree to wear a knee brace.
After 4 days the Anesthetic wore off. The mussels above the left knee blow up like a balloon. NO better off after the steroid injection. I consulted a private knee specialist who stated he would not replace my knees for 6 months due to the risk of infection from the steroid injection. He went further to say the steroid injection had made the knee replacement a lot more difficult.
strawny49 if your asking for yourself I am 46 and very active I just had mine done a week ago and I already have 115degrees of flexibility. It depends on how well you prepare and excercise before the surgery! You being a firefighter should be ahead of the game like me! Finally get a knee surgeon your comfortable with and that specializes in sports medicine! I had a great outcome! Hardly any pain and can walk pretty well on it after just 8 days! Good luck!
My father is suffering with urinary retention after knee transplant surgery infact knee is working good and having negligible pain ....its about one month after surgery he can't able to empty his bladder properly and he is still catheter..i want to mention that his surgeon gave him both spinal epidural and general anesthisia because of his anxiety issue...kindly help or gave me any suggestions in the comment box..thanks
It's been 8 months since my right knee replacement. My knee is still numb especially on the outside. The numbness reaches down into my foot wrapping around the arch. What can I do?
Christopher Hume I had my right knee done end of January 2017, it's been 10 weeks, I too have a lot of numbness. I have spoke to many, many different ones who had the same surgery TKR. They have either experienced the same as us ( numbness) or some had zero numbness. While others had numbness for months on end, with it trickling away little by little. It feels odd, but be patient because it will go away. I hope that helps you. Try to keep in mind, we do well not to compare ourselves to others because each one of us is going to heal at our OWN body speed. The best to you and your recovery 💕
I was told from the beginning i would never feel the outside of my knee again. it would stay that way. i was also told i would be like new in 3 months and thats not true but numbness yes that never goes away.
This is 6 weeks and my pains still pretty bad. I have therapy three times a week I do my excersice s at home but my knees still swollen stays a little warm feels sortof numb and sensitive.. Ocan not get my knee to go past a 80-81 degree bend yet. My therapist tried laying me on my stomach and pushed my knee back..I swear I thought it die..the pain was beyond excruciating. I expect some discomfort but I am refusing that particular one. I cried like a baby and I can tolerate a lot if pain..my hamstring in back of my knee is so tight. I'm disappointed in where I am at right now because my therapist says I should b farther slong. I see my Dr in a few days I'm requesting a.detailed x-ray before I go on..my last one said I a reward failure and a fracture. And the swelling pains right where they said the fracture was. I called my Dr he said he talked to the radiologist and my.legs ok there's nothing wrong..well why's the report say otherwise..it just dosnt feel right so I pray its ok and I'll continue to heal..
I am 57yrs old just had my partial knee replacement on june/4/19. I am feeling everything you are going through. I cant bare tge pain and my knee not bending much. I cant lift my leg up forward on my own it feels like bricks are in there. I will pray for you Defenitely.
Patient after one n half month post surgery complete bilateral tkr ..having pain in right knee more limping gate on right side ROM is 90 degree. More it I take pain.
Can anyone tell me why people's knees wear out? unless you were a pro athlete all your life, it shouldnt be like this! people need to get on HRT before they get too old and the bone loss begins. I am not a doctor, but I can tell you its not normal.
+Tignish Rink I played golf with a guy who had TKA 3 months after his surgery. I had mine done 2 years ago and could play golf around the same time after. I am 2 years post op and can play any time I please. No restrictions. Just do the rehab or you will only have yourself to blame (barring any complications).
had a total knee replacement Dec 29 2014 the day I walking on it with a walking 1 ,mos later I was still in therapy but doing well I have a wonderful doctor and now I have to get the left one I just hope this one goes as well as my right one just alot of bending and walking helped me

Proof read your comment before posting. There's a lot of grammatical errors and why so many commas when they're not needed.

Sir is there any chance they cut the MCL as well..coz my friend id experiencing buckling in knee as well..

motivational drew - just now reading this- how did your surgery go? I’m at 5 weeks post op TKR. Mines going ok but still have significant swelling.
Today 12/10/2021 I went for my first consultation with a knee specialist with the idea of having both knees replaced. He did his very best to persuade me not to have a knee replaced. Instead I settled on a steroid injection and agree to wear a knee brace.

How long after the steroid injection can I have a knee replaced??
@@halfabee how is your knee now?
That is what I will be doing with my other knee; shots and rubber support sleeve.
how do you feel about returning to work as a firefighter after having total knee replacement (possibly bilateral replacement)?
strawny49 if your asking for yourself I am 46 and very active I just had mine done a week ago and I already have 115degrees of flexibility.

I had my knee done nearly 3 years ago still can't ride a bike or kneel down
How are you nowadays?
It's been 8 months since my right knee replacement. My knee is still numb especially on the outside. The numbness reaches down into my foot wrapping around the arch. What can I do?
Christopher Hume I had my right knee done end of January 2017, it's been 10 weeks, I too have a lot of numbness. I have spoke to many, many different ones who had the same surgery TKR.

Thank you very helpful information.
how soon after my knee replacement can i restart horse riding
HOW. long will it be before I am able to ride my horse?
I just got surgery 3 hrs ago and i barely feel my hand. I just got an half-artificial knee. My life is ruined all because of a soccer match
I feel u bro
We are in the same boat
How are you nowadays?
I have had 4 replacements on left knee and 1 on right.
you did 4 total knee replacement surgery on left knee, was it not done properly the first time.
if one were to have surgery could they compete in a contact sport after a year or so depending on the status of the knee of course?
Only if "one" is an idiot!
Suspect your user name reflects your intelligence level!
Did you say it wouldn’t ever feel normal ...what the bro
If people are big fat lumps, then don't expect a good result. A low carb, KETO way of eating, before and after surgery will work wonders!
This is 6 weeks and my pains still pretty bad. I have therapy three times a week I do my excersice s at home but my knees still swollen stays a little warm feels sortof numb and sensitive.. Ocan not get my knee to go past a 80-81 degree bend yet. My therapist tried laying me on my stomach and pushed my knee back..I swear I thought it die..the pain was beyond excruciating. I expect some discomfort but I am refusing that particular one. I cried like a baby and I can tolerate a lot if pain..my hamstring in back of my knee is so tight. I'm disappointed in where I am at right now because my therapist says I should b farther slong. I see my Dr in a few days I'm requesting a.detailed x-ray before I go on..my last one said I a reward failure and a fracture. And the swelling pains right where they said the fracture was. I called my Dr he said he talked to the radiologist and my.legs ok there's nothing wrong..well why's the report say otherwise..it just dosnt feel right so I pray its ok and I'll continue to heal..
Good luck on your healing I go for my surgery next month and I'm really scared, but I hope you heal quickly and safely

Can anyone tell me why people's knees wear out? unless you were a pro athlete all your life, it shouldnt be like this! people need to get on HRT before they get too old and the bone loss begins. I am not a doctor, but I can tell you its not normal.
WHAT ABOUT GOLFING AFTER SURGERY
+Tignish Rink I plan on spending time at the nudie bar after surgery. Sympathy lap dances are a good form of exercise.
+Tignish Rink I played golf with a guy who had TKA 3 months after his surgery. I had mine done 2 years ago and could play golf around the same time after. I am 2 years post op and can play any time I please. No restrictions. Just do the rehab or you will only have yourself to blame (barring any complications).
Replace!emt of.hip bone and it physiotheraphy
sticks, crutches or frames after TKR
That was great! Thanks
