Hi, I have got to the not "if" but "when" stage for both knees. So I am finding the various articles, posts, very helpful. Thank you ALL for sharing yr stories so openly and generously.
I go to Feldenkrais classes and the teacher recommended the book Granny Gets a New Knee, Louise Chegwidden which is well written, comprehensive and gives a series of exercises to do. A v helpful book, most encouraging.
I do a set of knee conditioning exercises and most days I do 20-30 minutes on a stationary exercise bike.
Does it make a difference to post op recovery and pain management if you diligently do these sort of exercises?
I find that those exercises lessen the pain and general sensations in my knees.
I am assuming it will help in recovery. Any thoughts.
