9 months post tkr
Posted , 11 users are following.
I am 36 years old. Had a tkr 9 months ago. I am having problems. Still cant go up or down staris. Two lil hard pimple looking bumps now formed on knee. Thigh is 2 inches smaller then other leg. Did 4 months of therapy in still was not able to lift 5lbs. Leg muscle continue to shake when trying to lift 5lbs. Did join a gym n still the same. Leg gets stiff if i sit or lay for more then 1/2 n hour along with pain. Any body else going through this. Feel bad cuz i cant chase my 2 year old nor get on floor to play, afraid to carry her cuz of leg wanting to give out. Got fired from my job cuz of knee. FYI i have a visionare knee replacement.

I personally don't think at 9 months you should have any significant pain, yes an ache or two here and there...I had returned to nursing after my knee replacement, and the girl in the bed next to me was also a nurse that was from a different hospital.
i am also worried about these 2 so called Pimples. I really think you need to be re checked and get everything evaluated again, you have done a good amount of rehab...I think a low grade infection should be ruled out.
good luck it's so hard when you have kids to chase, mine were a bit older.,..
