Balancing things out post knee replacement

I have said it more than once, the corrections we make BEFORE the knee replacement in order to be able to keep functioning and managing the pain take far longer to re-correct that you might think.

This is my latest question because it is an issue that I have developed in my right leg only, and only since the total knee replacement. I noticed a varicose vein come up in my calf and thread veins on my ankle.

In addition, the circulation has never been quite right, signalled by a funny mottled colour on that leg. So, is it connected?

Jumping controversy: should you or not?

It seems that my most recent Vlog update has sparked quite some discussion in various place in social media, so I have decided to address some of the discussion points that have been raised around the place.

If you missed it, here it is again:

Wow: you’re so amazing… or so they say.
