He wanted me to totally rest it for the rest of this week. I am 120 ROM and my extension is fine. Then he said I could do my own exercises at home and walk around in the pool if I wanted. I would much rather do it this way. The day when the pain intensified they had me doing squats and step ups...
I am now at 8 weeks post RTKR. I was in excruciating pain at week 6 and 7, particularity when lifting and lowering my leg. Due to the long holiday weekend I was able to rest and ice my leg for 4 days. What an improvement! With my Drs approval I quit PT today. I will test my knee for another week...

Thanks. Actually I am now starting to have trouble with my other knee as well. I was thinking it was the Pt. It is in bad shape but wasn’t really hurting much before.
Hi all,
I had a TKR on May 9th. I came home the next day and was doing very well. At 40 hrs post op I tried to get up from my chair and fell twice on my knee. I went in to see Dr the next day and everything looked good on X-ray. Of course I was now using a walker. At 2 weeks I was 110 and 0...
