    I’m looking for some input on where should most TKR be at after 6 months. I’m having some issues with stiffness after driving for an hour or two and first thing in the morning. Also my knee can ache enough from just sitting down and watching TV for an hour or two or for that matter just...

    Thought I’d share a bit of “I should have known better”. I was out volunteering my time at the local curling club and helping setting up for the upcoming season. One of the jobs that needed doing was washing the floors with a mop. I thought I can do that and I spent about 1 1/2 hours mopping...

    Still having plenty of sleep issues except when I’ve been really active and then I seem to get a reasonable sleep. Not as good as it used to be but better than since surgery. I’m just over 12 weeks now and the knee is doing ok. Lots of ROM and it only seems to get sore when I use it a lot...

    I’m now just over 8 weeks post op and the new knee is doing remarkable. Over doing it will most certainly cause some discomfort by way of aches and swelling but even that is getting less and less. I’m not ready to walk and play an 18 hole golf course but I can hit balls and certainly getting...

    I’m just past 6 weeks post surgery and things are going mostly well. Still lots of swelling when I over do it but at least I know that I can elevate and ice. Which helps a lot. I actually went out and putted and chipped some golf balls for about 30 minutes. What a pleasure to do that again...

    Still dealing with swelling with all activities. But I guess that to be expected. Elevate and ice helps a little. Probably need more rest as opposed to activity. Today is day 23 after surgery. Does anyone know how to deal with an IT Band pain. It’s feels really tight and I’ve tried a rolling...

    its day 14 after surgery and I’m still dealing with lots of swelling especially around the knee. Any activity makes it worse. And of course lack of ROM. I think my body is one of those that must have a tendency to swell. And yes Im icing, resting and it’s mostly elevated. Tomorrow I’m going to...

    I have another new question. I see all those posts about ROM at 90 degrees after only a few weeks and I’m 10 days post op and have very limited movement in my knee. The overall total leg swelling has finally come down but still lots of selling especially above the knee. I’m able to walk with...

    Thank you for your reply. I’m a very active oldster and will need to really slow it down. I’m going to read every bit of the info. I had my Right knee replaced on May 7th.

    I’m post op with TKR done on May 7th. So it’s exactly one week. I have an aircast ice machine and use it faithfully all day and in although after taking the cuff off my area around the knee is less swollen it all swells up rather quickly again. I mostly keep my leg elevated but it seems...
