thank you both for the encouragement.
Yesterday i went the entire day with no pain pill other than tylenol.....AND we went to the baseball game so i did a lot of walking.
I will look for this BIOFREEZE product today...that could be the ticket i need! I use the ice pack they gave me in the hospital and it does a pretty good job.
I am glad to hear others took a while to heal...I was beginning to think i was a wus.
My knee replacement has not affected my golf game...since i have never played golf in my life...
lol
But i truly do the yard work and housework and went back to work week 3...so i have not let it keep me from doing the things i need to do.
I do ride my stationary bike and surprisingly...it does not hurt...i was afraid it would but my flexibility is amazing....if it is not equal to my other knee...it is very close.
So if i could just stop limping and stop the ache...all would be good.
what i really want...is to be to the point...my knee is not constantly on my mind. Those of you who have had this done will understand what i mean. I dont want to worry about it anymore....I just want to live normally and not be constantly reminded of a bad knee.
I had arthroscopic surgery 8 years ago on it where they determined i needed a new patella but was too young so i lived with the bone spurs and bone on bone...and now that i am 60 they went ahead and replaced the knee....now....i just want my life back...
