Thelma and Louise you are hilarious!!

Thank you so much for all your information. Extremely helpful

Wow Beth four weeks after bilateral,, that's really impressive. I am nearly four weeks post-op after one TKR and terribly stiff in the morning particularly. your attitude is very positive, well done, take care, best wishes from England.

Thank you ❤

You are courageous and eloquent. Your students atr fortunate to have you.

Three weeks for me. Only my left knee. Luckily, I do not feel any of the previous pain between the top and lower knee. However the wound is still healing and hurts. My calf and thigh are sore from the actual surgery. I am a teacher too, and retired last year. I’m 66 years old and miss teaching so much! Best wishes! Keep posting!

Thanks for sharing. I’m going into my second week.

Very encouraging video. I am 3 weeks after TKR, doing relatively fine. Physiotherapy is a must atleast twice daily.

I like your video, I am about to do my rght knee in May, I don't want to do it during winter time. Praying for your full recovery..God bless 🙌 🙏

I’m 5 weeks out with right knee, surgery Sept 12th with the ROSA robotic system. Got the ok to drive this week which is great but I did have to ask about it since I’d been off pain meds for two weeks … key to being able to drive is being off opioid pain meds! I can’t do steps going down yet, but coming up is do-able but slowly. Still get the occasional electrical like zap along the incision which can be an eye-opener since it comes out of the blue. I’m told this is the nerves healing/regenerating. Do still have some numbness along the outside and at the top edge of kneecap. Incision is full closed and healing very well. Using Bio-oil to begin massaging to breakdown the scar tissue. During an progress evaluation was told as a result of the extended knee deterioration (3+ years) my right hip is weak so need to work on that also. All in all replacement was the right decision but have been reminded knee replacement is a year’s journey.

This is great Beth super to hear the real life experience! You are absolutely amazing and looking fabulous and wow 2 knees at the same time! surgeons in the uk are very reluctant to do that, one at a time only. I’m now 60 years young, recently retired Midwife and I got a new knee for my birthday 😂 now 5 weeks post-op left knee, and finally the pain is completely manageable with some bruffen or paracetamol. “Vladimir” aka Caroline my physio is keeping me busy! Going up and down stairs “normally” is still an issue, I’m having to do the two together thing most of the time, going down is particularly bad but told this is very normal at this stage. Driving not encouraged over here until 6 weeks plus. I stay in a wee coastal area of Scotland next to a lovely beach and my one wish is to walk on that beach again with my wonderful Basset Hound before Christmas 🤞I missed that so much. This is such a major surgery to undertake and the pain is challenging at the beginning but I need to remind myself of the awful stabbing pain in my inner knee (OA) and terrible hamstring pain I suffered before the operation which completely limited my mobility, this has completely gone thanks to the skill of my lovely surgeon and I am very grateful. Wishing you and all your readers continued success and good health 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

I am 3.5 months out from right knee replacement. I love that you do your exercises or stretches wherever you can. I do the same thing. I do need to use steps more, & walk more around the block. (I have to comment on your kitchen cabinets, they’re beautiful!)

Wow! And thats ar 4 weeks after surgery ? I’m glad to see encouraging videos like this; I’ll be going for mine in a week’s time & I’ve been praying ever since I knew I had to have it. Praying for courage & strength to go through it all, And a smooth recovery. I’ll also pray for your complete recovery. Many Thanks. 🙏

4 weeks this Thursday-right knee first, left will be later. I do enjoy PT getting out of the house. I still have nerve pain around knee, which is uncomfortable but do-able.

I'm a retired teacher and suffered with bursitis in my hips from those concrete floors. I'm due to have tkr mid April.

I hope Thelma heals completely. Thank you so much for the information. Did you also had arthritis

I’m having Tkr in 2 weeks and 2 days. I’m trying to walk even though the pain is bad. I’m watching my diet and keeping my blood sugar levels low. My doctor keeps his patients in hospital for two days or more post surgery to control pain. Pt will start at the hospital. I’m kind of nervous. I’ve had other major surgery before but not involving my knee. I broke the other knee two years ago and had a full leg brace and walker. It was my left knee and I was driving in a couple weeks. But this is my right knee.

What an amazing recovery. This has not been my experience.

I'm at 5 weeks and the agony is driving me insane. No pain relief works, I sleep 3 hours a night. 😢

I am you a year ago! I got both knees replaced last June 3. I chose to have it done then so when my piano students return in Sept. I should be fine. Everything was going great and I was driving and getting around well. Then Sunday at church after I played the prelude I sat down wrong. I must have twisted and plopped because I had pain level 10 for a bit and then whenever I put weight on it. I got thru the service with hubby helping me up to the piano and back. It was back to a walker for the next day or two. I got X-rays and saw my surgeon''s p.a. He thinks maybe it was scar tissue breaking up or some soft tissue getting stretched. I hope I can find out more about your journey and how you are doing now! Laura Mackey

Who was the Dr that did bilateral knee replacment, I am looking for one

Brave to do both at the same time!

I am almost a year and still can’t bend fully and still have pain when walking stairs. Unfortunately mine didn’t go well

I like how you named your knees. Get with the program Louise! I could use a bilateral knee replacement. I am guessing I will do one knee st a time. I am a retired teacher. That is a tough job. Lots of standing. Lots of walking. No time to rest.

Hi am 4 weeks after a knee replacement and I can't walk straight what am I not doing right

I’m five weeks out, cant drive, very much pain. Especially nerve pain! I’m very discouraged. My surgery was right knee. I was almost in a wheel chair with arthritis but I’m still not sure surgery was worth this.

You're a beautiful woman ❤

Thelma and Louise 😂

How do you bathe

8 weeks and I still have pain. I've been told 12 weeks is when I'll be glad I did it....we'll see

Wow walking at 4 weeks 🥹🫶 amazing. I’m 3 weeks tomorrow and still on crutches
