I forgot to add my foot swells a lot as well as my calf & knee. Incision looks great but it always feels hot & tight. Cramps pains in my thigh & outer calf.
Well I am now almost 7 weeks out. I have 75-80degrees flexion. My Pt was increased to 3 times/week & I take 2 Lortab before I go with no real results. It hurts horribly but my OS says if I'm not at 100 degrees by 3/16/16 we need to do MUA or o will never have use of my knee. I'm back to work...

Pull-ups are when you support knee & pull it to chest bending at the knee. I got thru 3 1/2 hrs today before I had discomfort. But now (bedtime) it's is quite sore & almost cramps feeling in my calf, shin, & behind my knee. I did get a new PT person & I love her! She didn't make me cry!!
Hi. Sorry I got my threads in wrong place!

OMG!!! This is so much what I'm feeling! I'm actually 4 weeks out on Tuesday from my left TKR. I cry & feel tired & useless most all the time & im on antidepressants!! OS told me on Wednesday that my flexion is barely 45 degrees & it HAS to be better. Gave me an order for "aggressive PT"...
I had a left TKR on 1/19/16. I am doing ok & pain is much better but I have some questions I hope I can find answers to.
My knee is very stiff...almost like it's stuck. It feels quite swollen but actually looks better. I really can only get about 45degrees flexion with it. I have not...
