Aching leg after standing
Posted , 9 users are following.
I'm 14 weeks post op and doing well as far as bend,straightening etc is concerned. I've just been standing for about 1 1/2 hours doing some cooking and my leg still aches dreadfully. (Ok now I'm sitting down) I don't want to bore those who know me from other threads and refer to my hamstring problems, but I just wondered how those of you at a similar stage or further along get on when standing for a while. I get the pain mainly down the back of thigh and knee. I know one of you on here is returning to work in a school kitchen. I know I just could never cope with that! Just hope to find out things will improve š JenĀ

I'm about 18/19 weeks now and still can't stand for long periods, I tend to get an ache behind my knee and some lower backache but I think the back has more to do with realignment more than anything. I was speaking to a colleague the other day and he is about 9 months now and his knee still aches after standing for a while. I think it's one of those things Jen that's going to take some time, it's the long game I'm afraid, just know you're not alone

Oh yes, my leg still aches & becomes stiff if I'm on my feet too long. I don't have pain in the same area as you however. I've started having pain in my ankle & shin area on my TKR leg. I don't know if the pain is connected to my TKR or if it is arthritis flaring up in that area. Yesterday was the worst as it ached all day, and almost made me want to get out my pain meds again!
I'm going for a physical next week and will ask the doctor if I can have the area x-rayed. I'm hoping it's part of the TKR healing and not arthritis, as they can't give me a new leg!
I also used a 2 lb weight yesterday on my ankle for my leg lifts. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? They used the weight when I was going to therapy once a week, but don't recall the pain in my shin so severe as it was yesterday.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Hope tomorrow is a better day for you Jen, after a nights rest.
