    It is really strange for me because after I had thyroid cancer and they removed my thyroid I was hot all the time. Now I have knee replacement and I am cold all the time. Sometimes my left foot feels like ice. Doctor said it was a circulation problem and would go away

    Went to kaiser today. My pt said I needed to strengthen the thigh muscle that is why my knee buckles. He said my straightening was 120 and bend 100. To keep icing and elevating. He was very nice.

    I am using an ice machine that kiaser gives all their knee replacement patients. Does this make a difference in how much icing I need to do? Should I be doing the entire area or just the part of the knee that is swollen? Thanks.

    Why do doctors tell you to only do 20 minutes every hours?

    I ice and elevate 4 or 5 times a day. I am not in any pain. Just the fluid and swelling that bothers me. Oh and my leg moving for no reason when I lay down.

    Thank you. I had surgery on my left knee on November 19,2019. I left the hospital 5 hours after surgery. I am not in any pain just a little worried about my knee. Seems like whatever is swollen in the knee moves when I walk. Also, when I lay down the leg moved on it’s own.
