Are you rubbing your incisions with VitE? I watched a blurb on YouTube and they said you should rub your incisions the opposite direction of the cut, and rub it from side to side several times a day to break up the scar tissue.

That's all completely unnecessary. Left alone, Mother Nature will heal your scar beautifully. And it's a complete fallacy that you need to break up the scar tissue. Your incision will mobilise itself as part of the healing process.

Just imagine a revision in your late 80's or 90's in my case? Nope, I cannot.

It's not a given that you would need a revision at all.

By the way, my mother had a knee replacement when she was 85. She had a much easier recovery than I had with my first knee replacement at 59.

Yes, Susie Shoes ... no pain and I had a 1 incline. It's so nice no swelling, scars are soft and pliable. I feel like a new woman! Freya

Hi everyone! Went to physical therapy and my legs are two degrees past 0 when straight and 130 degrees bending back. So, they released me from going anymore ~ at 11 weeks. Just have to continue with Mr stretches and come back if there's any problems. Feeling very lucky of all I've accomplished since surgery. Freya.
