Re: Work injury.

Hi Karen,

I am curious what kind of accident you had that is holding up your ability to have your TKR surgery? Did you injure the knee in some way at work to the point that your surgeon says you...

Re: Total Knee Replacement

Hi Firehouserose,

Glad to hear that the new knee looked good on x-ray. As for that pain, remember, you are ONLY THREE MONTHS POST SURGERY, so this is not unusual. Do what your surgeon says...

Hi there Peterayyy,

If your surgeon is saying you have patella instability, he probably needs to go in and repair that by giving you an "artificial" patella "button". I don't know if this can be...

Re: Having my TKR on 9/19/12

Hi Stepbill,

I can sort of understand not using the CPM machine (at least after the first night post surgery), but NO SHOWERS for six weeks!? That's ridiculous! I was allowed to shower as soon as...

Re: Upcoming TKR at 38 years old... advice, please!

Hi Laurarich,

Only TWENTY YEARS OLD and you needed a TKR because your knee was bone on bone?! That's awfully young to be needing a TKR! If you don't mind my asking, do you have a form of Juvenile...

Re: Home care or rehab facility?

Hi stepbill, I can tell you that if your primary insurance said no to only ONE TKR for a rehab facility, your other two insurances will probably say the same thing. Plus, you don't live alone like I...

Re: Help Using Advair

Hi Rick,

When you use the Advair, advance the inhaler to the dose you're about to take. Then put your mouth to the inhaler and SLOWLY inhale the dose. If you do it this way, the powder SHOULD NOT...

Re: Upcoming TKR at 38 years old... advice, please!

Hi Scoobygert,

Re: osteoarthritis and torn meniscus of the knee

Dear Ms. Scott,

First of all, you are not too young to have total knee replacement. Most orthopedic surgeons usually wait until a patient is at least 50. And, given the symptoms you describe, the...

Re: Hello, here to learn prior to Dad's knee replacement

Hi ELR,

You're quite welcome! Glad I could be of help. As for the CPM machine, do make sure to ask if they will be fitting him for it right out of the O.R. Matter of fact, I would insist on it if...
