I start my PT tomorrow so I will ask for some advice. My husband helped me put the TED on the affected leg, but I left it off my good leg. It will be interesting to see if the swelling has gone down...
After a failed knee replacement 3 yrs ago I had a revision surgery 4 days ago. Two nights in the hospital and now home for 2 days. My problem is those TEDS. I was told I could take them off at night...
So I saw new doc in the practice because my GP was too busy with her snowbird population. This doc seemed spot on. He gave me a shot of steroids, Cipro and codeine cough medicine with 4 refills. I...

And Donna, if your product was legitimate none of us would be in pain, and we would not need a forum such as this to discuss our health problems...
:nono: seriously? I can't believe someone is trying to sell me some holistic product that you make money off of, and leave people like me thinking this is the answer to my pain. I don't agree with...
Well, I saw another doc, and he told me it is nerve damage! He said it happens in 8% of the replacement population. When he looked at my X-rays he seemed only interested in replacing the other knee....

I seriously don't think I would have recovered a fundoplication surgery but for the positive advice from You, Kitt. You kept my head in the game. So when I got this MSG from you about my knee I was...
I also had a tough recovery period. I am not a patient person, and I wanted to eat like yesterday! But I took Kitts advice and chewed slowly, I bet I stayed on that soft diet for 4/5 months. My main...
I just saw my surgeon and he is going to go in arthroscopically and clean up my knee. I can actually bend it to 130 degrees which is very good, just some scar tissue issues he said. Scheduled for out...
