Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am glad to hear you have no problem kneeling Jeff. That's great. Now I know there are people out that can do it. I will work on it and if it is too uncomfortable, so be it. I had arthritis in my knees before the surgery and could not kneel so I live without doing it I guess....if need be. Pat in Pennsylvania can you kneel? I was wondering if anyone here who has had a TKR can kneel. Can you do it? I can do just about everything else but I cannot kneel. My doctor told me some people can and some can not. I am still very scared to put my full weight down on my new knees.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi Joan, I hear you, lol. So it is starting to appear to me that not being able to kneel is not uncommon. Anyone else???

That's a heart-warming thought for others with knee replacements.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Mick, I had new plastic put in 15 yrs ago. They did a double thick piece at that time since I am so active. I was up and at it in 2 days following the quick revision. The prothesis I have isn't even made anymore.
