Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I have a friend who has had both hers done, and she told me it took about 9 months before she " called them her own " and quit thinking about them. And now that I think about you might be interested in her blog -- www.travelonthelevel.blogspot.com. Judy loves to travel and found a way to visit a lot of places " on the level " without climbing a lot of stairs, etc. And this group would appreciate that! > > > > Hi Sherry, I was still having pain at 7 weeks. I didn't fell normal for about 4 months. that said, it has been 1 1/2 years no. I go on 5-8 mile walks, play tennis and bike. It can still be stiff when I bend it, but there is no more pain. Stick with it! > > All the best, Joan > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: SherryH <sherryhh@> > > Joint Replacement > > Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 2:49 AM > > Subject: Pain > > > > > >  > > The pain is not as bad but I just wonder when it will stop hurting. I know it is different for each individual but it has been 7 weeks since my " new knee " and the burning pain continues. My knee is still pretty stiff and I've tried to do what the therapist and Dr told me to do. I might not be walking enough. How much do most of you walk? And, are you able to get by with OTC pain meds? SherryHH > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The complete turnaround point for me was 7 months. Then I felt " normal " again, except without the pain. I went for my 1-year checkup this week. He asked my pain level from 1-10. I was able to say, " ZERO! "  in TX From: leecaroler <leecaroler@...> Subject: Re: Pain Joint Replacement Date: Saturday, September 10, 2011, 5:29 AM  My friend said her friend says she always felt like there was a foreign objectnptrsant in her knee area until l one day at the three monthpost TKR point she woke up and realized many hours later that she forgot it was there completely. (smile I like that one so maybe for us it will be qt 4 or5 or 6 mos. My highscool friend walks without any cane at all and had her TKR done 1 year ago.
