HI all, My LTKR done Nov. 16th, dealing with swelling. I can't seem to a handle on the swelling. I know I'm pushing myself. I'm a business owner, find it very difficult to sit still. I went to work for 4 hours this past Monday, and 4 hours yesterday. I'm able to sit at my desk with leg elevated and iced. I also got the okay to drive. I will say home today, we are having a snow storm in Hartford CT this morning. I would stay home and back off even if there was no snow. I need to get this swelling under control. I spend most of my waking hours with ice and elevated. I do very well at PT. ROM last Friday was 108. I have a stationary bike, ride it a couple of times per day, 10-15 minute per session. I need help with the swelling. I sleep with my leg elevated. I wake up with swelling and stiff. It takes a few minutes to get it to loosen up. Is that normal and will that go away? thanks for the help. Bob
