Partial knee replacement progress.
Posted , 8 users are following.
I had a PKR 4 weeks ago but have no one to compare my progress with. I have a good bend in the knee but am struggling with straightening it. My back has also become painful, possibly after two years of walking with a limp and my leg becoming slightly malformed. Very low mood doesn't seem to be improving either, very tearful, not like me at all. I abandoned the white socks yesterday despite being advised to wear them for six weeks, is this wise? I am 67 and otherwise fit apart from restless leg syndrome. I have no family for support.

i too am 67 , and doing really well,I have suffered with the back pain after, as you are , but not too bad now. I do suffer with restless legs though and it did seem worse for a while , but again it is settling. Have you found anything that works for that? As for low mood , we all mostly seem to be getting this quite badly . It does seem to go on for a while so you are not alone there. I hope you pick up soon x

Although I absolutely hated wearing the stockings, especially as it was through our very hot Summer, I persevered as there is a high incidence of DVT associated with knee operations.
As far as feeling low is concerned, it is a really common feeling. Depressing as it is, this does pass after about 8 to 10 weeks. I believe it comes from loss of independence. For me, the tears suddenly came from nowhere.
Knee operations are so difficult. I found the whole thing quite traumatic. It does get better, albeit very slowly and there is nothing any of us can do to hasten that. The knee makes that decision.

I shall definitely wear them if we fly long-haul - just not worth taking the chance.
Keep in touch if you're feeling low. Nothing worse than having no-one to talk it over with.

I've upped my dosing over the years and now take 500mg Mag complex or citrate or glycinate 3 times per day..... I prefer looser bowels vs constipation......I've had my share of constipation over my life....not good thing.

As I see it and many others in the healing world, mag is deficient in MOST.
What form do you have, oxide is the least good quality.....

If you are drinking fluoridated water, you are doing more damage to your bones and joints....including teeth. The push for fluoride is a FRAUD.
I've been studying preventive health and all the toxins for 25 yrs or so.....it's maddening.

Read up on Magnesium and Vit D Deficiency and another one I believe to be true is manganese deficiency.....I'm taking a new supplement now with a prertty good dose of manganese in it for ligaments and tendons growth.. My manganese was low and I ignored it too long...
All these 3 are essential for bone health.
I'm dealing with a narley hip replacement which messed up my knee and foot and ankle...so I'm doing ALL I know how to avoid any surgery again.
I also deal with some Fibro and a surgery trauma would do me more.
Our soils are devoid of nutrients.....so I work to take care of my systems as much as I can and I research everything. hang in and keep doing good.
