Indentations in skin after TKR
Posted , 7 users are following.
I am 11 weeks post TKR and things are going well. I have noticed that elastic in socks or any type of pressure in an area for any time ends up looking like a ligature mark on CSI: Where-ever. I can push the skin in with my finger and the indentation will stay for some time. Is anyone else experiencing this? It is a little creepy.

You might want to back off of some of the high sodium stuff in your diet. That will help with fluid retention. If it continues you probably should talk to your PCP. Are you showing any other signs like high blood pressure, etc

Great to hear you are up. For me that first walk outside was a HUGE step in the right direction. Of course you have been there done that but it has to feel good to get out. Stay the course man!

I'm going to ice and elevate as suggested and see if there is improvement. Thank you!

Did this issue get fixed by itself with you? Anything you did different to help? How long after did it go back to normal?
Thanks for any input.
