    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    Thanks for the replies. We did have servers weather a week or so ago. In regards to the hamstring exercises. The new PT I visited a few weeks ago suggested I needed to improve extension what was affecting my walking. I can lay off for a few days and see what happens

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    9 month update. Last week I thought I had turned a corner. I have been focusing on hamstring stretches several times a day & my walking seemed to be improving & swelling appeared to reduce & I was ecstatic with the improvement. Last few days however my knee is stiff, swollen & painful in certain...

    Update. Back in the US now for a month and still having issues. Been quite painful any annoying lately and just when I think I am improving I seem to get disappointed. Walking and certain exercises are quite difficult Decided to visit another PT today on recommendation from a colleague. Knee...

    No, only the continued swelling, warmth and soreness. My walking and flex seems to be improving. I think he just had to inform me of the risk?

    No. He said that it is soft tissue and nothing under knee cop. Hie is suggesting it is probably just over use and wants me to keep an eye on it

    Today I fly from Dallas back to Australia to visit family for Christmas 17 hr flight. Knee still fairly sore with some day’s better than others. Visited OPS last week for 6 month check and he said ROM good however need to work on fully straightening. Knee is slightly swollen and warm after...

    Yes definitely frustrating. My head is rearing to go. But my knee says no. Doesn’t seem to take much to upset it even after 5 months & once it gets upset it takes days to calm down

    5 months post operation now. Swelling now minimal and ROM improved. Still painful however when I walk (pain mainly below knee cap left hand side) and after exercise. Knee is easily upset and lacks strength. Not sure what the best exercise is now if any?

    Quite happy with the ROM now and not stressed anymore after all of your comments. Frustrating piece is the pain when walking and finding the right level of exercise and stretching. Currently 15 minutes on the exercise bike followed by 20 minutes in the hot tub stretching and bending. Minimal...

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    16 week post operation check up with OS last Friday. Knee still swollen and ROM 110 degrees & he was concerned that it should be at least 120 degrees. My concern was that it is painful when I walk and I can’t seem to get rid of the limp. He suggested that is normal and wants me back for a check...

    Use the ice machine daily after my morning pool and 10 m bike session and usually apply an ice pack again at night. Generally things seem to be improving slowly particularly ROM. Swelling has improved slightly but it is still quite a bit larger than my non surgical knee and slightly warmer. Gets...

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    My daily routine now is 20 minutes in the hot tub walking, bending etc & 10 minutes on the exercise bike. ROM 120 degrees. When I exercise I feel good & knee feels a lot less stiff. All other times during daily activity such as sitting and walking ect it feels quite stiff and slightly painful...

    Thanks and I will take your advice. Moved house over the weekend and although we had a removal company do the heavy stuff I have been on my feet for the last 3 days carting light boxes and clothes etc. and am now sore and swollen from mainly excess walking (limping). I will try the Advil &...

    Only thing I take is Advil or Alieve. Both do not seem to do a whole lot.

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    At the 14 week mark now. ROM probably 120 and can now ride the stationary bike and doing stretching in the spa pool daily. Still quite stiff and painful when I walk and can’t seem to loose the limp. Also still quite painful at night. Is stretching and bending daily in your opinion too much or...

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    Still taking it very easy and only bending and stretching in the spa pool daily. ROM still improving slightly, probably 100% & walking seems a bit easier. Feel quite sore behind the knee, hamstring, hip and glute. Waking up every night in some discomfort that seems to subside once I get up and...

    TKR My 8 week post operation setback

    Had a visit with the OS today. He replicated the advice that you guys have been giving me. No pt and moderate stretching and bending. He seemed slightly concerned about infection ( due to the swelling). Hopefully that is not the case. Last 3 days I have taken your advice and taken it easy...

    2 days before I see the OS for 12 week check up. Still around 90% rom and seem to be stuck there. I have PT 3 mornings a week and feel quiet uncomfortable for the rest of the day afterwards unless I sit on the bed with ice ect and rest. Going to try hot epsom salt bath tonight and see if that helps

    Still struggling to get past 90%. Visit OS next week for 12 week check up. PT mentioned yesterday he may suggest MUA to improve ROM?? Scary though

    Today I finally got my ROM to 90% at PT. Still very stiff but slowly getting there. Hopefully on the way back to 120% in the near future
