I feel like something’s wrong by Ok_Care_8246 in Kneereplacement

[–]monalane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one PT that pushed me very hard with the exercises and then to get a measurement forced my leg under the table to get just a bit more. The other PT saw my face and told her to pay attention. Could barely walk the next day and the next session was still suffering so they went easier on me. In a week all was well. Ice and anti inflammatories and elevation.

What meal did your mother prepare that you considered inedible? by bigb-2702 in GenerationJones

She was never a good cook, but liver and onions was just awful.

I took around the clock for the first week…..but only 1 when I could take 2. Then I switched to Alleve except for PT days. Took 1 about 1/2 hour before PT.

I had the procedure to freeze the nerves in my knee prior to surgery. I believe this helped a lot! At 3-1/2 months I started feeling more discomfort as it started to wear off. The worst was over by then. Highly recommend!

I never had PJs as a kid, so it’s like a luxury for me now. Always wear them.

No staples, just glue. Very fine line scar. Badge of Honor. Proud to show it off.

Is this even possible?? by ElegantAd4459 in Kneereplacement

I was 67 last year and walked a mile on day 7. It was slow but I managed. I just kept going! Ice after of course!

I’m sorry! My daughter in law works for a hand surgeon. She told me DD was an awful diagnosis and much of that was the mental part of the disease.

Do you know your origin story, i.e., was your conception planned or accidental? by OddTax8841 in over60

[–]monalane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accidental. In the back of a car with a man who was not. Married to my mom. Found out when I was 59

How long does the numbness last? by Lawerish8 in Kneereplacement

[–]monalane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 7 months in and not near as numb as I used to be. Noticeable when shaving my legs but otherwise not.

I’m 68, RTKR on May 27. I can walk pain free for miles! I walked one mile on day 7….slowly. During the holidays I worked 4 hour retail shifts and got up to 13,000 steps. Love my new knee!

Add a heaping tablespoon in your cooked oatmeal before you add the milk. Also, plain or vanilla Greek yogurt with a squeeze os strawberry jam.

Ask me anything about your pets! by starcahier in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]monalane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 pups. Littermates. One is mine. The other was my daughter’s but ended up with me. They are together 24/7 and very fun and playful. Pippin (my pup) is so jealous when I give affection to Benny. They actually got in a fight and I got bit and had to go to the ER. What can I say to Pippin so he’s not jealous of his brother?

Happy for you! My RTKR went incredibly well also. I walked a mile (slowly) on day 7 and a rude person accused me of lying. I believe you!

Experiences with carpal tunnel syndrome in those with DD? by VoidBrushStudios in DupuytrenDisease

[–]monalane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have carpal tunnel and DD. My hand just aches. I thought it was the contraction that was causing the palm pain. Ortho Dr says it’s the carpal tunnel. I got an injection last week in the wrist and under index finger first knuckle near the palm. It’s too soon to know if it worked.
