15 Months Post TKR
Posted , 20 users are following.
Hello
Just wondered if anyone was still on the forum at 15 months post left tkr?
If so, is it just me or does anyone else's knee still feel like a lump of concrete and like the knee cap it is constantly being lifted out - am worn out by out it all. My life is still ruled by my knee; I am 50. I am not suffering from pain in knee but it is painful and a constant.
Was referred to a new physio two months ago who said one leg was definitely longer than the other which is causing my back, right knee and ankle pain and the muscles running the length of the front of my left knee are still too tight despite doing physio from day one until now! Am waiting for an appointment with Orthotics for a shoe insert.
Any suggestions to help my knee feel more normal are welcome, please.
Thanks, Tracey
