I had a RTKR 8 weeks ago including new knee cap.
My knee is still very swollen and stiffens up as soon as I stop being active.
I sit down and within minutes it stiffens up so that when I go to stand up the stiffness is painful.
The swelling inhibits my exercises.
I cannot get it straight no matter how hard I try.
My bend is 105.
I also have an area just at the top of the scar and above which is very tender to touch.
I try to do my exercises 2-3 times a day but by the afternoon the swelling inhibits it.
I thought about wearing a compression sleeve to try to get this swelling to go down.
I sleep with my leg raised on 3 pillows so swelling isn’t too bad in the morning when I get up but swells very quickly
Can you please advise. Many thanks
