Went to the gym. First time since surgery. Warmed up on the bike. Went slow and moved the seat forward in 5 min increments for 20 mins. Then just worked biceps and back. Half of what I was doing. Felt good to be back at least. Tomorrow my back and arms will be sore. May take my mind off the knee...- Curiousnva

TKR Foot and toe numbness
I usually do fine on the bike. Have been doing 20 mins no pain. I just keep it adjusted as to not push past my rom level. My PT gave up on me. My os is the one that suggested the brace. It just blows my mind how the PT's give up. It's at a outpatient clinic at a huge rehab hospital here in...- Curiousnva

I'll do that. I'm headed to my gym today to do some upper body stuff. I gotta move something. Guess it's ok to warm up using a recumbent bike?- Curiousnva

I'll do all that and see how it goes. I've been let go by PT. Started going when was 6 weeks post op. They said nothing they can do. They were doing nothing but strength training from day 1. I'm just very frustrated. It seems since so many knees are done these days they would be more...- Curiousnva

Elevating yes. Not so good on the icing. The ice machine from the hospital didn't feel to me it got very cold. I am using frozen veggies now. 20 mins on the underside of knee 20 on top of the knee. Just started today. I'll try that 2-3 times a day. Kinda hard to do. I'm single live alone and...- Curiousnva

Ok thanks. Everyone says the swelling looks ok. Unless its internal? I'm thinking the dynamic brace the doc wants me to try will be in this week. That thing sounds painful. Guess you set it on 0 and strap to the leg.- Curiousnva

PT told me they can't do anything else for me. So told me not to come back. All I was doing there was the bike to warm up then leg press machine, hamstring machine, step ups, calf stretches and leg extensions. All that stuff is strength and I can do at my gym. Kinda made no sense to me. They are...- Curiousnva

TKR Foot and toe numbness
good morning, I'm 9.5 weeks post op from right knee replacement. Struggling with extension. PT has told me to stop coming and wasting my allowed visits and money. I am at 10 in extension and 100 in flexion. Had two therapists say they feel my implant is to big and that they don't think I'll get...- Curiousnva

@Bikesouth since I've got all this time to read while healing I did read about that. The knee seems to be getting better. I'm 4½ weeks post op. All I do now is the light stretches. Also do my treadmill for 5-6 mins at a time a couple times a day on a very slow speed.- Curiousnva

Yeah it's definitely helping my calf. Think it's hurting due to the way I'm walking/limping on it. Kinda wish I could shut my eyes and wake up in about a month. Haha good times are around the corner.- Curiousnva

Also put heat on my calf for about 10 minutes. The way I've Been walking is straining my calf a lot. I'm sure as things stop hurting and moving more freely it will subside.- Curiousnva

Thanks for all the input! I'm taking it easy from here on out. Was wondering if anyone had a sharp pain on the lateral side of the knee cap when performing heel slides? It's very bad on the outward motion.- Curiousnva
