My rt tkr was February 1st. So 2 weeks post op. My staples were removed today. I'm doing SO much better than when my left was done.I have home PT 3x a week which is gentle and has a lot of safety teaching re stairs sitting and standing safely and I can already bend 75-80 °.
But seems everyone expects me to be back to most activities and off pain meds. What you're still taking some oxytocin! Yes it's just exactly 2 weeks.Can't someone drive you to the meeting? NO. So feeling discouraged and VERY rushed to get better.
I'm trying to rest more because on the left the swelling was emense and I think the PT made it worse.
