Hi PJ, Yes I had a problem with my hip and it is to do with how you are walking and your posture is not right. I had to have two injections in my left hip for bursitis (means the bursa near the hip is inflammed) the Dr said it also my sciatica (back problem) was acting up. At the moment my right hip...

Hi everyone, Sorry I got confused Donna, thats me being not in touch, I will see you in facebook. Hi PJ welcome, normally a chondroplasty (patella scraping), this should have been done by keyhole, it is usually a six week full recovery and back to work even earlier depending on the work. But the men...

Dear Donna, Oh no, I just can't believe this, I just after all this time finally posted in my post. I will explain why I have not been around, computer probs, etc. Have a new one now. What you have been through, where was that implant put, didn't think it was meant to be so close to your femur. I am...

Hi , I hope you are all fine, and dear Donna I hope you are finally on the mend, and wish that you are not to end up in my condition. I will check your post after this. Sorry I have not been around. I have had off and on computer problems, then my dear 7 year old HP who never gave me trouble , only ...

Dear Donna, Sorry I have been away, I have had alot on. I have been thinking of the both of you, my thoughts and prayers are there with you both always. You must both be such a strong couple. Poor Rick and those hiccups maybe we all do a big boooooooo through our computers they might stop. I hope th...

Thanks Plumb The injections have made things more pleasant but by the afternoon the pain is still not good and it should be relieved with everything I have had done and am taking. But at least it is more bearable. I have never gotten off the walking stick since my surgery and spent six months on cru...

Hi there, I have had my iliotibial band injection and soon I will have a a polidocanol injection in the patella tendon on the 19th. My tibia is clunking and I have lots of pain and cant weight bear. The Dr is eliminating pains so we can tell if the prosthesis is loose. In the New Year I have bone sc...

Thanks girls for the best wishes, and thanks Terre for the info about your knee, I am surfing the internet and wanting all information I can get before I find out what is going to happen.

Have to go out, so just a quick note, take care and hugs Wyn

Hi everyone, Thought I would start a new diary, after my Left TKR I have or probably after the osteotomy I developed Iliotibial Band Syndrome which my kind Pain Specialist finally agreed and no one else seem to point it out or listened. He is giving me another stronger injection in the band next wee...

Dear Donna, I had a look at your album, your photos are wonderful and you all look beautiful, especially the bride of course. Just thought I would pop in and say, I am going to hydrotherapy now, not sure if I am suppose to, just found out there something wrong with the supra patella and infra patell...

Hi there Donna again, (well I spoke to you in a PM), well I checked up on you and you certainly do have more problems with that knee. Much similar to mine. I just have to suffer and wait it out for the cause of this pain, keep scanning they say, but I havent had this one done coming up. My Mum had t...

Hi Regana, I am 15 months post op TKR and have like you developed this pain. Have pushed into the outside(lateral side ) of your thigh, try even from just below the hip. You may have illiotibial band syndrome like me. It is really painful. My pain specialist picked this up, I have been kicking up a ...

Hi Etta, Thought I better check in, I have been a bit busy with appointments and family matters. I knew it must of been close. I am so glad you seem to be doing great and everyone is impressed with you. You will not know yourself once you get into that physio you will be back to normal in no time. I...

Hi everyone, Went to the pain specialist and psychologist. Psyc was very helpful, go every two weeks for a while. Pain specialist just put me on 1000mg Naprosyn, that annoyed, just makes me sick on top of every thing else I take and just masks the pain and is no good for you, I will just get ulcers....

Hi Donna, I am glad you had a nice time at the wedding. Sorry to hear the knee is progressing worse, know the feeling. I feel like I am getting nowhere. All those tests came back clear, I got pages and pages of bills in the mail, so he certainly did so new tests done by professors according to paper...
