Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Good luck , I think it is " Most people " have a good result. I am one who had a great result first time round (hip), but not a great result second time round. Good luck with your knee. When they work they are magic. The physio can be trying for knees, but well worth the work to get it going.

You just need to set it up for a time when is best for you, work wise, weather wise. I had to go to my Brothers house 1 week after my first one. It wasn't too bad, even had to do steps.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 HI How are the knee's? What doctor did Glazer recommend for this? c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm doing well, thanks for asking . The surgery was one week ago today and I'm struggling with these darn crutches and can't wait to ditch them. And the knee braces I have to wear 24/7 for 6 weeks! Yuck!But, so far - so good. I go for my post-op appt on August 14. Dr. Glazer recommended Dr. G. . LOVE HIM! But then again, I have such immense respect for Dr. G, that I'd go to anyone he suggested! Want to hear something? As I was waiting to go into the OR last Monday, I was laying there talking to Dr. and the anesthesiologist and who went walking by? Dr. Glidden, Chief of Anesthesiology. After my little episode with the paralyzed vocal cord last year, Dr. Glazer arranged for me to speak with him directly last October and he was such a wonderful man. Anyway, he remembered me!!! He came over and we started talking and he asked why I was there and what I was having done etc. So he asked, " So will you be going ahead with your spinal revision with ? " and I said, " Yes. Hopefully in late fall/early winter. I have an appt. on Aug 20 for a CT/Myelgram that he asked me to do last February, but I keep putting off because I/m scared! " and he said, " Who is he sending you to? " and I told him and he looked at me and said, " , he is sending you to the best interventional radiologist in Boston - and you have Dr. here doing your knees? Glazer is sending you to only the very best - you'll be just fine! " and I was just humbled by his statements. Knowing Glazer as I do. I thought you'd like to hear that story. Such a huge hospital with 4 or 5 surgical buildings and at that very moment, Dr. Glidden walks by. Karma at it's best! Thanks for checking on me - it means the world! D.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 After 11 months I really can't say that I do the specific knee exercises. I do a regular workout 4x a week, walk 10,000 steps a day and play tennis at least 2x a week. I don't think I have lost any ROM, but I don't have the handy protractor thing that they used at PT to measure it. I certainly don't " walk the wall " any more, I'm too busy walking to places! I and I go up and down the subway stairs fairly ofter, and with much greater ease than before the TKR! I still have the " ace bandage " effect, but I hope, given enough time, this too shall pass.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 No. My " ace bandage " effect is all on the front of the knee. I feel nothing in the back. We are all certainly different!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 i think you might be right about that outer hip joint pain. That outer rt hip area for me seemed to only be a place where a new chronic low grade bursitis tended to hang out after my one acute attack got resolved years before with just one office based cortisone injection into that outer ball joint. After that initial bad flare and injection fix, it became chronic (ever present) but was only a tolerable tender ibursitis area known to me to be present only if I layed on that right hip for too long at night or without an eggcrate under it. Otherwise that area was painless ie. when i was active or walking.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 A nurse at our local hospital had her knees done 12 mis apart 2009 and 2010 and is back working a 12 hr hispital shift. She does not work a regular patient floor load niwadays so might have taken a less strainful job recently but it IS still a 12 hr full time job and she iwalks so great and nimal and seems delighted with her results.
