| Feb. 28, 2024 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A friend of mine had both knees replaced and sent me this book to help when I had mine done. “Fast Track Recovery from a Total Knee Replacement.” The author is Michelle Stiles. I had total knee replacements done on both - one in August 2023 and the second in October 2023. I played in both the Bullhead City tournament and the TOC in January 2024. I echo the advice JAB gave that your post surgery workout should be more intense than the pre surgery workout. Best of Luck! You can do it!! |
| Jan. 22, 2024 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Spinal Lumbar Fusion Yep, I had this procedure done in 2021 and returned in six months to playing softball. I also had cervical spine fusion in 2023 and returned to playing in less time. Great doctors and physical therapists are the key. |

| July 3, 2011 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The knee.....still and again Hey Mel; When I need it, my ortho does drain the fluid - and it definitely helps. If you find a good one, they appreciate that we want to extend our careers and will do everything possible to make it happen. |
| July 1, 2011 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The knee.....still and again Hey Mel; My Doc suggests that I give it at least a few days after an injection - and I occasionally listen>:) I watch to see the reaction and judge it from there. There is some swelling whenever you get these, but in a lot of cases rapid relief. I had my first of three on Tuesday and played last night with no discomfort and no swelling today. I use a ton of ice - 20 minutes on and 20 off. If you don't mind the dorky look, try an ice pack stuffed into a velcro knee brace. It keeps the ice in place and allows me to be mobile. I talked to my Doc about the effectiveness of this class of drugs - no surprise that the reason the insurance companies will pay for them is that there is scientific data indicating that 70% of the patients get some benefit which saves expensive knee replacements. I am one of the happy users and wish you the best of luck. |
| June 28, 2011 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The knee.....still and again Hey Mel; I am a grateful for the injections - I have had my ACL replaced and then tore the miniscus on the same knee. I have had the injections six times and will get them again. My doc said it takes a few weeks for the benefit to completely take effect - I started on Synvisc and when that stopped being effective, switched to Euflexxa. Good Luck and keep swinging! |
| Oct. 27, 2008 Born to run | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SYNVISC KNEE INJECTIONS I am a Synvisc fan - I have had my ACL replaced and then tore the miniscus on the same knee. I have had the injections three times and will get them again. My doc said it takes a few weeks for the benefit to completely take effect - and one of the three times I had some slight swelling that took a few weeks to subside. Good Luck and keep swinging! |
