Hi I'm new to BoneSmart. I had a left knee replacement on March 12th 2021,
After 4 months everything was going really well. Pain free for all activities. Then almost overnight everything just seemed to go south. Coming up on 5 months now and I have a lot of pain in my knee, whenever I stand from a sitting position or out of bed in the morning. It hurts to put weight on it and walk (I'm 6 foot, 190 pounds, 70 years). It's weird but the pain goes away somewhat after being on my feet for a bit. I can then swing dance, walk a mile and get up and down stairs but the pain in my knee when first standing and walking really has me concerned. It also feels as if the “rubbercap” around my kneecap has really gotten tighter. So stiff and painful to stand. I'm limping around the house and it was fine a few weeks ago.
My daily knee exercises consist of heel slides, leg lifts and seated Knee flexion & extension. I also seem to have a new issue in that the back of my knee has some pain, like a pulled muscle. Anyhow, I'm hoping to hear from any others that may have had a similar experience and made it though successfully.
Thank you so very much,
