Mrs Joan! Thanks so much for the Prayers!! I am now 4 weeks since my TKR, and am doing well! Had 117 degrees range of motion Thursday. More to come! They also gave me a knee cap re-cap. THAT hurt 2 days after!! Let's keep up with our exercises and thank the Lord for our recoveries!! Bob

I had total knee replacement the end of Sept. My second week post op was the most painful. My entire leg was swollen, my skin was tight and I had a large bruise on the back of my calf. I needed to elevate my leg, higher than my heart and keep it iced. It is so important to stay on top of the pain with the pain meds. Do not wait until it starts hurting. I am now seven weeks post op and have physical therapy through the month of Dec. I go twice a week for PT and do the same exercises at home each day. I used a walker for two weeks and a cane one week. I get around pretty well now. The pain is subsiding but not totally gone. When I sleep I have a pillow under the full length of my leg. My knee is a bit tight yet to have my leg completely flat on the bed. I dealt with a lot of pain for months before surgery since my knee was bone on bone. Messaging the scar area with cocoa butter helps break up scar tissue. My knee still feels a bit tight, but it's expected. Looking forward to yardwork next spring.

I had my first TKR Aug 31 2023 and second December 26 2023. It hurts like a dog biscuit especially the first month and I am not going to lie about it. I had no idea how bad, day 3&4 are the worst, but by 3 weeks it starts to slowly get better. Getting up off a low chair, couch, or anything short is very hard without help impossible for me.for 2 months. It hurts to stand for the first 15 -20 feet especially. Then walking is easier. It has been 3 1/2 half months now since the second surgery and it is still early, but the pain in my actual knees is gone. I have a long way to go, but from being bone on bone pain for so long and now not being afraid to take a step is wonderful. My right knee before surgery would have this slipping down feel that shot pain through the roof. I really had no choice, but to get these 2 surgeries. As painful as they were I am very happy I did it because I see I am getting better. Don't suffer the rest of your life with that severe knee pain. One knee would lock up and the other jam with a severe slipping down feel, but now I have no fear of that ever again! It is a hard road back, but you can do it. I look forward to getting better and better.

Mrs Joan, I love your enthusiasm! I am 3 weeks post op total knee replacement surgery and I’m doing well. I am going to also be so excited to do stairs like a normal person too, so I understood your excitement. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Hi Kathy. I had my TKR on February 20, 2023. I’m also in my sixties. I’m not in great shape physically. Pain Meds and icing have been keeping me comfortable but I’m still in pain. I went to my second therapy session yesterday. My therapist stretched my leg in a few ways. Yes, it hurt, but afterwards, for the rest of the day, I felt less pain. I have other health issues that may be causing me more pain than usual. I don’t know for sure. I was just wondering how you’re coming along.

I just wanted to say thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for this video you did! I started with one doctor but I was not really comfortable with him and my pastor suggested that I go and see her surgeon that did hers! From the first few minutes I loved him and knew I wanted him to do my surgery! His whole team is so nice! I did take classes just as you! I think I am ready for next week! I can tell you that I can’t wait to be on the other side and start my recovery! I will pray for you and your continued good health and thank you again and God Bless! Love from NY! ❤🙏

Had my TKR on March 29th 2023 and personally wanted to die the pain was so BRUTAL. Given Endone every 3 hours which for me did nothing. On the 31st the pain management team came and put me on Fentynal drip for 2 and a half days. Then I was able to do a few exercises. Tried the ice machine but that caused me more pain. Warmth has been the solution for some pain. Hydrotherapy twice a week, Physiotherapist comes to my home once a week. The other days I use a tens machine each morning for 30 minutes then electric MASSAGE for 10 minutes. I then use my hands to MASSAGE GENTLY the scar and total area of TKR. Personally every bodies body is different. Some can get through with little pain some, like me have a high pain level. I had my ex husband came and stayed to help me ( I have 2 cats ) and am now being carerd for by my aged care provider - I live in Australia. No two people have the EXACT same experience.. For me I have never experienced such BRUTAL pain that sent me into depression for a few weeks. I do hope people have a better experience than myself. Things are much better now but it takes around 12 to 18 months or more to fully heal.

Thank you Mrs. Joan! I am getting ready to have my First surgery ever in my life. Total knee replacement on my left knee. I am very apprehensive, but you have been very encouraging and reassuring. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your journey through knee surgery I had total knee replacement on 3/27. I'm at 2mos now & still have some pain. Glad to know I'm not alone. Like you need left done also, but we'll think about that later. I'll just keep doing the exercises and know that one day it will heal and Praise God for that.😊❤

It takes much longer than they tell you. My doctor says 1 year to be at 100 percent.

I feel so blessed by Jesus that I came across your video. I just had my ankle/foot surgery. I had 5 incisions. 2 are extremely large incisions. Dr told me that my left was the worst and he had to do nearly every type of surgery on it. Apparently it was critically bad. I have to have my right knee next and then my other foot/ankle. I pray it is easier than what I’m going through now? At this time, I’m not sure if they have to do the left knee also. Well, this first of many surgeries….has proven very challenging. I have uneven steps on my front porch. I had handrails put up but they broke as soon as I tried to use them. I’m no weight bearing right now. My left knee buckles on me. I’ve tried to get my porch extended out to be even with the sidewalk and then the ramp to the driveway. I’ve tried several different organizations to help but I’m over their guidelines on income but can’t afford to purchase the $4500 in lumber. It takes 2 to 3 people to get me in and out of my house. I have a temporary ramp but it’s at such a high incline that it’s not safe. I feel neglected and abandoned by family and a lot of my friends. Then…. I saw your video…. Lord Jesus is good. He used you and your knee surgery to help encourage me. In the Bible…..it says… Worry not for tomorrow for tomorrow will worry for itself….. something like that…. Thank you Lord Jesus for this dear blessed Christian lady. I trust you Lord Jesus to get me through all of this. Jesus’ message to me when my 2 1/2 month old granddaughter passed away…. I’ve got this….I’ve got you.

Both knees done about 5 yrs ago. Love my knees, I was using a wheelchair before my new knees. My recovery was very fast, I did everything I was told.. Last week for the first time I feel on my left knee. So scary, I was able to get up myself, some bruising and still have some pain.. falling on my knee, biggest fear, lol.. God Bless you for sharing..

You are definitely a trooper! Great attitude and that’s why you’re doing so remarkably well! My husband may be having a TKR some time next year and I want to show him your video to give him a good idea about the whole experience.

I had left knee replacement surgery on March 1st, 2024. I've healed up very nicely. Had my 2 weeks in home therapy and am doing 2-3 days weekly out patient therapy. I finally got in my head that my knee wasn't going to bust open when I tried to bend it. 😊 I'm truly trying to bend it more each day. It is so painful bending it. Take my cane with me just in case. I have a leg bike I try to do 3-4 17 minute sessions on it. My question is how did you sleep at now?I wake up and my leg is aching and I can't go right back to sleep. I feel tired like I have no energy at all. Once I got up and moving I tried to stay moving and bending my leg as much as possible. It's hard but I keep pushing on. I need to get that mobility back and back to normal and work. Your video was truly inspirational and I agreed with everything you discussed. Prayers are with you and thank you for taking the time to motivate and take all those tkr people on their journey ahead.

Thank you for this video! It encouraged me to hang on because I am experiencing a lot of swelling, bruising and now itching from a rash. It’s been 11 days since surgery & I see a little progress but can’t bend that knee much. My kids are 2 -2 1/2 hrs. away & I’ve done a lot on my own but I did have friends help in the first 5 days home. I am so encouraged by your progress & pray I have great results too as the healing process progresses! ❤️
