Here is your post-op reading: Knee Recovery: The Guidelines
1. Don’t worry: Your body will heal all by itself. Relax, let it, don't try and hurry it, don’t worry about any symptoms now; they are almost certainly temporary
2. Control discomfort:
a. If it hurts, don't do it and don't allow anyone - especially a physical therapist - to do it to you
b. If your leg swells more or gets stiffer in the 24 hours after doing it, don't do it again.
4. PT or exercise can be useful BUT take note of these
Please don't be overwhelmed by the list. The articles are not long and they and contain information that will answer many questions and help you make your recovery much easier on your knee and on you.
We are here to help in any way we can: answering questions and concerns; supporting and encouraging you from start to finish.
We try to keep the forum a positive and safe place for our members to talk about their questions or concerns and to report successes with their joint replacement surgery. While members may create as many threads as they like in a majority of BoneSmart's forums, we ask that each member have only one recovery thread. This policy makes it easier to go back and review history before providing advice.
Hi, Beachy. I am so glad you posted I have been logging in every few hours to see your post. Rest up. I hope your pain settles soon. Healing Wishes coming your way, Schpooko
Hope you got home and into your very own bed with elevated comfy pillows perfectly arranged, ice in place, pain meds that work, and enjoy some peace and quiet after all the surgical stress.
