Rosemary 63666 Writes: “ I bet a lot of surgeons especially orthopedic surgeons never had a TKRso they don’t know how it feels..”

Very interesting. They must be out there somewhere. I am sure they could share some useful tips/tricks with us. Question is how to find them? Any ideas.

     I don’t think they would tell us the truth even if they had one done themselves this site has been great and you can get a lot of excellent information and tips on what to and what not to do Chico is very knowledgeable and he has family in the medical profession and has been great in answering lots of different questions

    My surgeon had a tkr. He knows what it is like. Awesome! Good luck on your recovery—it will be good if you keep doing that exercises and stretches. I had bilateral ties in 2016 and am doing good. I keep doing exercises and stretches.
