KNEE ARTHRITIS - Total Knee Replacement :

TKR Curious... - - Posted by SuburbanLife (SuburbanLife), 19 December 2004

HI, having my first TKR in March, not too concerned about the surgery, can read enough about that, what I am curious about is what treatment did you get afterwards and what were you're experiences. This is my right knee, OS says immobilizer for 6 weeks, wondering how long after that I may get a chance to drive again, any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Here's a website that might help you, I found out about it on this forum. Type the following words into the space where you search:  On our feet: joint replacement  .. This will lead you to a wonderful site where you can ask any questions you have about total knee replacements.

Sorry I gave your wrong instructions Type the following:  On our feet  joint replacement forum.   Then click on Robins knee replacement and that will lead you to the site. It's wonderful , very informative, lots of posts about TKRs and young people . I'm 77 and eagerly waiting for my May TKR, so as you can see people in their forties are young to my eyes!
