Joint movement
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi all
we all post about sensations and pain,
now at 4 weeks I am feeling, I think the sliding movement of the joint,
i feel that it is like sliding up and down but sometimes is not as free as other times, tight one minute and then other times feels like it goes on its own.
it also clicks or feels like a hinge not quite lined up!
has anyone else felt the gliding movement?

I wonder if what you're feeling is the swelling in the joint... it can definitely make for some weird feelings and movements. Swelling will be present for up to a year in some level I've heard, and I've noticed that especially when I start doing more (almost 8 weeks post op TKR), there's more swelling and it can make the new joint feel like it pops a bit from time to time. Your doctor will likely be doing xrays in your 6 week post op, so that can confirm if anything is wrong with the joint. Good luck to you!

I sometimes look down at my knee to make sure it's still in place as it feels as though it has dropped down my leg !

thanks.
this is certainly a journey, physical and mental, I am finding it so much harder than what I thought.
i think it is the constant changes, just when I think I'm in control, it throws me a curve 😳.
Thanks again for being here !!
