Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Andra~ never is a strong word, but she is somewhat right in that chondromalacia isn't synonomous with arthritis and is not usually the reason for a knee replacement. A knee replacement primarily deals with the joint surfaces of the femur and tibia (where the meniscus cartilage lies) occassionaly the patella is capped if the surface is worn. So don't begin to think that your are a knee replacement candidate. As far as the tape goes, tell your PT it hurts, there are many different ways to tape the patella, she may be giving to much compression versus glide. To much compression may make the patella sore, but the likelihood of damage with taping is small. Your everyday activity is just as irritating.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 If your pediatrician is helpful, s/he can write a prescription for PT. The school should honor that. I have circumvented their " educational need " with that. The argument is that if the medical need for PT isn't met then education will suffer. We used that for learning stairwalking and bike riding - bike riding because that teaches balance and coordination which makes phys ed work. Phys ed is a requirement in school, etc.......

I'm just tired fighting for the same thing each time we have a new team to work with. They just don't trust my judgement and make me feel less of a team member when in reality I am the most important member. It is just such a waste of time and it makes me want to pick on everything they do wrong to show them that they don't know it all. Of course, I know this wouldn't be prudent if I want to have an on going relationship. I have documentation that clearly shows they have not been working on goals and tried to fudge it. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Hi y, I not sure what you mean by abduction is important for the Hip do you think thats what I'm feeling the femoral head and its not scar tissues my dr could have cut a nerve that makes since for a long time after my operation I couldn't wear anything tight against my hip I do feel this thing in me still its not that painful its just something in their I feel it more when it rains or snows . Well you take care:-) Regards Susie In a message dated 5/18/2004 8:28:36 AM Central Standard Time, veryberry@... writes: Really good. I can abduct now and pull my leg up unassisted. I havecomplete use of the leg again. _____ the critical motions are full extension against gravity, and about 115 degrees of knee flexion if you can get it for a knee. But abduction is darn important for a hip. I've had a good number of patients who, I suspect, had their surgeons cut a nerve or something, as they end up with no ability to abduct, and then atrophy their abductors to the point where one can feel the femoral head. Of course, no surgeon has ever admitted to this.. y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 On picking up from floor my doc showed me a technique if you have a good strong "good" leg where you extend the bad leg back until it is straight with upper torso when you flatten out, and then bend at the knee on the good leg until you touch the floor. He made it look easy, but I'm still working on the required muscles to get good leg to let me reach floor. ben Re: PT > > > > > > PT BEFORE surgery makes recovery 100 percent easier.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 doesn't clean like I do and I haven't found a way to do corners and baseboards very well yet. Any suggestions from anyone? Dear Jan, I could only think of one way of showing you this by drawing a stick figure of the posture that I was told would help me to bend over without breaking the 90 degree rule. My PT showed me this and with six children, it was a total godsend. Ask your dr and PT and see what they say. Vera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out to buy one, and they seemed very comfortable, but so squissy (soft), that I was afraid they would not leave enough space between my legs, and thought I may be better off buying a extra firm king size pillow.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 So far the body pillow has worked, and keeps me from worrying too much about what I do while asleep. I do put the "open" end to my feet and scruntch up the pillow toward the closed end. I feel like I have a lot of pillow between my legs and I try to go to sleep anyway with my good leg directly under the pillow and lying on my nonoperated side. I bend the knee of operated leg to give a broader support on pillow. I start off with one hand on the closed end about navel high. Have noticed that I am beginning to roll onto my right side with pillow still between legs. The right side hurts soome and will wake me up. Myh right side has hurt during the day last couple days after turning onto it, but I can stand it. Before I get up in morning I do the heel-leg bends yo make sure everything is working right. When first stand up after sleeping I do leg extensiomn out to side to be sure ball is properly seated before venturing off down the hall. No one told me to do that, that is just how an engineering mind thinks........I also started some limited driving Saturday and Sunday and that causes some pretty severe operated side hip hurt too so most of my pain is probably from driving. Sure won't be driving far very soon, but had to get some life back.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Vera, I use this position also, to pick up things. My PT referred to it as the “golfer’s position” as apparently it’s how they get the golf ball out of the cup after finishing a hole!!! It DOES make it a lot easier to follow the hip restrictions when there are practical solutions to help complete everyday tasks. Best hip exercise I’ve found since moving to a cane is walking my scotties!! Hip is really getting its daily exercise!!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 : I bought my husband a big, extra firm, king sized pillow at Wal-mart. It worked just fine, in fact, he still uses it a year later. It is about 3-4 ft. long, and pretty firm. They even had pillow cases for them, so you can wash and change them.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 How about long-handled cleaning tools? I have a stiff-bristled scrubbing brush on a long handle. Also a rubber squeegee on a long handle (widely used here in Israel for cleaning tile floors - method known in Hebrew as "spondja") - very useful for getting into corners. Margaret ----- Original Message ----- I can kneel and am able to do that OK but getting frustrated by not being able to clean the corners and baseboards of my bathroom and kitchen floors.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, there are lots actually but here are some. put rolled up towel under knee and then lift leg from knee to foot in air called a short arc quad long arc quad that is sitting in a chair and lifting leg to straight one where you have legs out in front of you (either lying down or sitting up) and you press your knee down into surface to help straighten leg gluteal squeeze where you lie down and squeeze your bottom muscles, hold and release ankle rolls to loosen things up hamstring stretch where you straighten leg in front of you and lean over leg with back straight knee bending and straigtening I think I've forgotten others but everyone on here will tell you some. I was given a sheet with illustrations and also the PT at the hospital put me through them twice a day while I was in there. -----Original Message-----From: Joint Replacement [mailto:Joint Replacement ]On Behalf Of pamSent: Friday, May 25, 2007 9:20 PMJoint Replacement Subject: PT What are the basic PT exercises most do when they have a TKR? pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I noticed that nobody ever answered Carl's question from back in 2003..... I will guess that the avg PT visit is between 100-150 for 30-60 minute visit...but they can really skyrocket in acute scenarios with cardiac rehab etc. > > Anyone know what the average daily cost of P.T. treatment is? > > Carl Bonofiglio D.C. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I had a patient tell me this week that she takes her dog to a vet who does veterinary chiropractic on it and charges her $90 a " whack. " If he also does some acupuncture on the same visit, the fee goes up to $120. So she's paying her vet almost twice what she pays me for a treatment! Lyndon McGill, D.C.
