Hi i posted on here lots just after my tkr and havent done for a while now but to be honest am totaly fed up! Any help gratelly appreciated! I feel like im going slowly round the bend.

Iv struggled walking and stil cant walk a distance now! I am unaided and dont get me wrong have come a massively long way! But when i pass people at work i havent seen for a while i get the same response all the time. Because im limping so badly they always cant believe iv had knee op in feb! They always tell me i should be walking better by now! Its soul destroying im stil doing my exercises and strengthening my knee but it feels so awkward and stiff i cant walk any better i concentrate on heal toe technique bending knee etc wil i evei walk any better! Sad face!

    Do your best each day. Ignorant individuals don't know how far you've come. Don't let their ignorance control your day or how you feel. Keep your head held high.
