OK here is a dumb question. Since my TKR 8 weeks ago I was elevating with ice by sitting in my recliner with the foot rest up as far as it would go. It seemed to work fine. My leg was not higher than my heart for sure. I just read yesterday that your leg should be higher than your heart. So I have tried this twice and each time my knee ends up feeling much worse! I have ice on while elevating. My knee looks pretty good from the outside but I can feel swelling inside-sometimes more/less than other times.
