TKR 3 weeks in with little progress

Hey @Deva , I'm almost 2 years out & my knee still swells sometimes. I still ice & elevate when needed. My knee hates humidity. But small price to pay to be rid of arthritis pain & buckling!
Your knee will bend more & more as swelling decreases. There's also swelling inside that you can't see but definitely affects ROM.
Easy PT, heel slides, leg lifts etc. Walking...with walker if necessary....and patience.
You'll get there!
 
I went back and looked through my records on my ROM. Hopefully this helps as I was a bit slower than many too.

2 weeks post-op - 72
3 weeks post-op - 87
5 weeks post-op - 103
3-1/2 months post-op - 117

I think I'm around 125 now, still not as much bend as my right knee but getting closer. I'm almost 10 months post-op now.
