    Bilateral TKR Nensi_New_Nees

    Hi nensi My swelling took 6 months to go away. When I first heard that from the people here I thought they were crazy! I am a pediatrician and the swelling I know leaves after a few days to few weeks. But trust me almost all the advice here is priceless. Given by those who have first hand...

    Home preparation advice

    Questions for a PT

    Hi bill Good luck in October There are many standard excercises for knee replacements and knees in general. I would make sure your pt has worked with many tkr patients and understands that a number is not the important thing but how functional you are for what you need to do I am at 115-120...
