Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi, am new to this group, but have looked far and wide, and you guys seem to have it together. Live Gold Coast Australia. Husband has had 2nd TKR on 13th November, had R. knee done 5 years ago. Is now 78. He has been an utter pain ever since. His whole eating habits have changed, says he can't stand the foods he used to have, is continually complaining about wind,sick stomach, and leg jumping around everywhere. Presume this is the nerves regenerating. Now has an utter fixation of his bowels, and whereas he was absolutely regular every morning, now is not happy unless he " performs " at least twice a day. The result, he is swallowing, oil, Coloxyl, Gaviscon, Magnesia, plus his Coversyl, fish oil tabs. Has been told his leg is doing fine and can drive again, but won't. Has made himself a hermit, and walks about 100 yards a day, but cannot push him further. Physio comes to house fortnightly, and think she can see the problem. To me it is now a mindset. Have others had this problem. P.S. He does have prostate cancer, and ulcers of the oesophagus, so this could be a contributing factor. Would love to hear from anyone else who has found, taste,food,habits have changed since the TPR. Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
