Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks post op for TKR on left knee. After the first week I was so happy by how well I seemed to be progressing. I’ve had tightness in my knee since the surgery but I was working through it. I would say in the last 10 days it seems like every day it gets worse. I ice multiple times a day, I elevate, I do my exercises ( except for the last 2 days…. ) I feel like I’m at my breaking point. I’m trying to be positive but it’s getting hard to do. I don’t understand why it feels like it’s getting worse. It’s that tight band feeling around knee. Sometimes it moves up past my knee. I also massage the area multiple times a day.
I’m supposed to get my other knee done in mid October, I was never really looking forward to it but now I’m dreading it. Is there anyone out there who has experienced something like this. I’m sure there must be. Any words of advice you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you.
