I started reading this forum just after I had my right knee replaced 8 weeks ago and its been a great help. My knee is relatively pain free (my pain was a 10 on a scale of 10 prior to surgery), but I am still experiencing stiffness and some swelling. I do find that the inside and outside of my knee can be very sore -- I have been massaging and using vitamin e cream on my scar -- unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion I will not be sporting short skirts in the future.
I, too, was under the impression that the recovery would be faster than it has been. I find that being on my feet for any length of time is difficult -- however that is not helped by the condition of my left knee. I am having it replaced on June 25th.
Question to anyone who has had 2 knee replacements - did you find the second easier??
