Glad you are taking a conservative course with your legs, hope the swelling goes down soon.

I woke up this morning hardly able to walk but it eased up after walking a bit. As the day progressed so did the pain when standing. I got my cane out tonight to aid me and although I never wanted to see my surgeon again now I'm thinking I'll have to go in. Has anyone experienced this?
Hi @lillibb
I'm sorry to read that you are still having problems with your leg. It may be time to look for a second opinion, from a surgeon who specialises in revision knee surgery. Not that I'm suggesting you need a revision, but these specialist surgeons see difficult knees every working day and can often spot a problem and a solution that has eluded your own surgeon. You will need one who has no connection, either professional or social, with your current surgeon - so that he can look at your knee with new eyes.
I'm also going to ask @Josephine to advise you.
You'll notice that I have merged your newest thread with your original recovery thread. Even though your old thread was a while ago there may be information in it that is relevant to your present problem.
For several reasons, we prefer that you only have one recovery thread:

- That way, we have all your information in one place. This makes it easier to go back and review your history before providing advice.
- If you keep starting new threads, you miss the posts and advice others have left for you in the old threads, and some information may be unnecessarily repeated
- Having only one thread will act as a diary of your progress that you can look back on.
