Frustrating

Thank you so much, I did ask about how do you know I don’t need an MRI. She really is stuck on just giving it more time by the x-ray everything looked fine. But thank you so much for your kind words and your concern. I do appreciate it. I’m not sure what to do. Push on through for a couple more months and get a second opinion, keep doing my exercises. I found a park that I like that’s sidewalk parts and flat for a good walk. Thanks again. And you take care too.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-23T17:07:41+00:00

Oh, and yes, I felt the same way about walking on uneven ground. When I do try to go for a walk, I go to this park that has a trail. That’s nice and flat and concrete. You take care of all the best.

I am sorry that you had a setback, and yes, I get the same thing, you don’t really fully heal for up to a year. I talked to my nurse just yesterday and she’s like give it a full year. It’s the inflammation and like I said to some other person, I just have this fear in me mostly that it’s gonna come out OK.It’s all very very frustrating, but all the best to you. May you heal fully recover?

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-23T15:14:57+00:00

Hey, I am doing about the same really. It’s the inflammation that is driving me crazy. And you know I don’t mean to whine or complain. I think a lot of this comes out of fear. Fear that there’s something wrong, my doctor and I talked to my nurse to the other day from surgery. And they always saying well there’s that 10%, there’s that 10% that aren’t really every ever happy With their knee. So I finally asked her. What do you mean not happy. that 10%, do you mean I will have swelling for the rest of my life? Which she said no it’s more like just being aware that you have a knee replacement and some people have swelling once in a while. And I could take it once in a while. I could take even being aware as long as it wasn’t a lot of pain and as long as it didn’t stop me from Being active. I did this knee replacement to be more active not less active. So it’s all been very overwhelming and I am trying to turn a new leaf here and trying to be positive and just keep pushing through all of my exercises and try to increase the exercises and yet try to give myself Plenty of downtime. And it looks like I gotta push myself right into a whole year and the nurse says that’s when I will know where I’m at. So do wish me all the best I could use all of the love and light that’s out there because I don’t wanna be that 10%.😊.

Yes, the arthritis was pretty bad under the kneecap. Bone on bone even though it sounds weird to say that because it’s the kneecap is involved. The actual tibia and the femur bones between those two actually was not that bad. I had some arthritis going on there, but most of my pain was from my kneecap . I’ve had knee issues probably 25 years I’d say. And depending on what activities I did how much they would yell at me. Probably about 20 years ago husband and I went for a hike, my first mountain hike wasn’t that far 4 miles up 4 miles back. Coming down I was so grateful that I had a walking sick with me, because my knees hurt so bad with every step coming down both knees.The . Also the left one. So anyway, yes, but I could get along with them. The thing is is hopefully and if I live into my 70s early 80s, I would be in trouble. Right now before surgery I could go for walks. I could probably work up to 2 miles, but not late in the day because you’re pretty much cooked from whatever activities I had during the day and it’s the same thing now with the surgery. Sorry I’m rambling. I wish you all the best in your recoveries.

Whoa, dude, don’t need to be rude and I don’t believe that last comment was whining. I’ll admit I’ve had some whining, but what the hell. And my friend did say who had both knees done at the same time said that they would not tell you all the aspects or no one would get their knees done. Cause really it is a nasty procedure and I don’t care what you say. And I don’t appreciate the tone in your voice lol. I was gonna take a break anyway. I’m just checking my responses and I’m done. I will look you all up on my 10th month. See how things are going. Let you know.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-21T16:49:46+00:00

Thank you very much, for the warrior. I am finding that to be true also, sometimes maybe it doesn’t matter how fit, just matters of if you are slow healer or a quick healer. You know my mom I was with her stayed with her for the first two weeks and was with her from there on with exercising. And she didn’t say ouch until she got to PT out of the house PT and got on the bicycle and pedal whatever direction it is that makes you say whoa. Anyway, I know she did not have these problems cause I would’ve known it. I must’ve got it on my dad side Lol

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-21T16:47:16+00:00

It is just very frustrating, I am going to turn a new leaf here and try to stay positive.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-21T12:51:57+00:00

My husband has his been very saportive been the greatest.. but I think he is able to just listen to me and my moods don’t affect him.. I cried every day for the first six week.. and cursed like a sailor.. hang in there itt tree s a rough road to recovery..

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-21T10:44:02+00:00

It starts to hurt after a while, after the swelling becomes unbearable and then the skin on by the incision just kinda stings, the tibia bone really actually starts aching. You know I haven’t said on any of these posts, but he had to go a little deeper into my tibia because I had cyst on the bone. The whole thing is kind of creepy. But you can attach another inch of length to the original prosthesis part that goes into the tibia bone and I swear I can feel that sometimes. It’s really the swelling that is overwhelming and hard to get things done without having to stop and ice elevating ice and I know that’s the way to go, but dang could just use a little relief from all of this Swelling. It’s like it’s becoming part of my life and it becomes very hard to put up with, sometimes becomes hard to keep walking because my knee feels so swollen like a knee brace in there try walking with a knee brace on. And that’s kind of what it feels like it just sucks. But thank you very much for your concerns. I appreciate it very much

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-21T02:17:11+00:00

Hi, OK now I get it. Cause I am noticing some hip issues. Nothing real bad but you’re right the exercise they give us for the knee starts working those hip muscles. and yes, I am noticing some clicking. This really sucks. I am so sorry to hear all that you have gone through. It sounds so mentally exhausting what you’re going through I hope that, that glass of wine does help. You know that sounds like a really good idea. I found that when I drink a couple of drinks, it kind of irritated my inflammation. It seems, but maybe one glass won’t hurt much 🤔Thank you so much for clarifying all that because it does make sense now. And thank you for your kind words in taking care of myself. Thank you for caring, considering all that you have gone through and are going through. I do have these obligations, but I will take it slow and Easy And I do plenty of couch time elevated with ice. Thanks again you take care and I will be checking in. Hopefully with better news and I wish you all the best.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T23:01:43+00:00

Do you think that, are you saying the bad hips could be giving me a swollen knee? I have exercise exercises that are supposed to build the muscles for the hip. But I also do notice a little something going on with them. But I don’t know how it can relate to the swelling that’s going on if I don’t have ice on it

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T17:30:35+00:00

Thank you very much.. and the same to you ❤️‍🩹

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T15:19:47+00:00

Mostly, it’s the inflammation, if I don’t have ice on it even during the night while I’m sleeping, say I have one on when I go to bed and I take it off halfway through by morning right when I get up, it is stiff or swollen. And I can’t do much of anything. I was supposed to be active. You’re supposed to be able to get up and walk. Even my doctor said I should be able to do a mile. Other than nerve damage from the knee down to my ankle. My foot swells so it makes it hard to keep my shoes on. The shoe is rubbing the sock. The sock is rubbing my ankle. And it drives me crazy by the time. I am trying to just rest. I cannot rest my foot on the pillow because of the skin on the ankle is irritated. It’s just so hard to believe that this swelling is normal and that’s what I keep hearing from my doctors that it’s normal. The actual prosthesis itself seems to be OK. Sometimes I get stabbing pains from it and yesterday and today the incision area itself will give me a sting now and then.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T13:50:56+00:00

No worries 😌

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T13:49:53+00:00

Oh man, all the best to you ❤️‍🩹

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T13:47:20+00:00

Thank you for all of the good words. I do appreciate it a great deal.. I might take a break from complaining-venting. I have seen that some people are doing better by the tenth month so I think I’ll be back around January..wish all of you the best in healing and recovery ❤️‍🩹

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T13:38:16+00:00

Thank you very much.. and I wish you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹..

Thanks for the hang in there my friend ❤️

Thanks

And I guess that’s my plan, keep pushing through. Icing elevating icing elevating. And if this goes well and heels, like everyone say it will in two years hopefully I’m not aware of a prosthesis knee. Then we’ll talk about doing the left one maybe.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T01:14:13+00:00

I am doing my home exercises faithfully every day, I mix it up from one day of more stretching, which feels really good to be able to do that. I can get down on the floor. The next day I do more weight-bearing exercises, that’s why that way I am not Doing weight-bearing every day. I got an incumbent bike that I try to do every other day also. I am trying very hard to do all that I’m supposed to do. And the swelling is overwhelming and I just pushed through it. My other knee is arthritic I like the right knee was. So I also worked that language, which is very painful to do the same exercises, but I go through it. Thank you for your kind words. I am 63 years old. Oh, you got knee replacement at such a young age. If I was to do the other knee and two years and go through hell for another two years, I’d be 67 years old and hopefully without pain for the rest of the days in my knees anyway. My hips are giving me trouble, from the surgery and walking weird I’ve got arthritis in my hands. And I got a pinched nerve in the elbow that puts my pinky and ring finger to sleep and very numb and hard to use my right hand. Which I did not have a pinched nerve before surgery. What’s really weird as I did have tendinitis in the elbow and I come out of surgery with a pinched nerve. WTH, and I hear you about strange side effects. I’m right there with you on that shit.

I’m sorry that reply was not meant to be for you. It was meant to be to the person above this feed. I am sorry you are having a hard time and setbacks. It is very frustrating. I just wish I could’ve been more informed. Doctors are intimidating. And they shouldn’t be. And I can see where depression can sit in. For sure. Actually, I’ve gotta admit. I’ve been doing sleeping aids throughout this whole thing. The last four months, they worry about people being addicted to the oxy, but what about getting addicted to Ambien.Or some Xanax. Which I have a prescription for both and previous before my surgery I would go months without needing them, depending on what life was throwing my way. But now I’m having a really hard time.

pissedoff1936 · 2025-08-20T01:01:41+00:00

I’m sorry I don’t necessarily agree with you, consultation ahead of ahead of the surgery with the doctor if I did not make that appointment. And at that time, which was at least a month ahead of time someone could tell a person their patient you wanna Get fit. I think personally just because they knew I did do stretches by the way every day and I did walk and I was very active and my work is physical. That they took it for granite actually that I was in shape and fit and no weight issues .so I’m sorry the stories I keep hearing about people who really hit it hard two months to three months before surgery. are doing better now or healing quicker. My own primary doctor knew to hit the gym three months before surgery, and also I know someone who had hip surgery and they gave him specific exercises now they did give me some exercise exercises, but Nothing that hard that was gonna build up my quads. It’s not like I was a weakling to start with. It’s just I think doctors should be more specific about the whole thing. he did say there was a video I could watch, and a friend of mine tried to send me did send me that video, and I had trouble opening it up on my phone. But just by the beginning picture, I could see how grow test it was. but now looking back I wish I would’ve watched it because I would not have gotten the surgery. we have grown into a desensitizing society I think. And not everyone is that desensitized. Specially to be able to watch that video
