Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Trying to send this on. Re: new member Can anyone tell me if they had to have their TKR redone do to the prosthesis coming loose? I have been experiencing some pain recently that was not there 3 months post surgery. Last night while at dinner with friends one gentleman (a radiologist) told me that it is not uncommon to have the cement come loose around the prosthesis. He said he sees it all the time and it requires a bone scan to detect. Please let me know if the pain could be due to something else instead. I plan to make an appt. with my OS this week, but would like some feedback from the TKR people.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi , I am not sure what Donna means by sparkles. I still have tingling which I guess you can call sparkles, but it is not pain. If you are having real pain at this point, perhaps you should get it checked. I didn't even know they cemented anything. I guess I just don't want to know. I did do the 3 K walk yesterday and had no ill effects today. Next week tennis!!! Be well.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think the knee will always feel different because it is!!!! My doc gave me all kinds of ways my knee would feel different so this helped me!!!! From: Donna Rae <rae900webtv (DOT) net> Subject: Re: [Total_Joint_ Replacement] new member Total_Joint_ Replacement Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 7:24 AM Hi Gayle, I was a new comer here less than a year ago. I just had my second surgery 3 weeks ago and now have two new knees. I really appreciated getting such good info here. The first thing I did do was buy the recommended book, Total Knee Replacement. It has lots of the info here in one place. It was written by an MD and PT. You might want to get it. I got it discounted here on the net. Someone else might know or you can search for who is selling it. Hope you have good luck. If you let people know your general area, they might have some recommendations for you.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello, I have been lurking on the site for a few weeks and found it very helpful. I have had a very painful left elbow for about a year, tried ibubrofen and various other things to ease it, but still very painful. As a result of some thing I read, I rubbed coconut oil into it yesterday about 3 applications, the pain went within 2 hours. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Are there any pain relieving elements in coconut oil? It seems like a small miracle to me. Not just mind over matter? Kind Regards Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
