Hello everyone, just an update.
As of now, my PKR right knee is still stiff , pain level swings anywhere between 2 and 6 depending on the activity done. Have PT religiously 3 times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The PT for me is very essential since I could not straighten my leg even before the surgery, constantly overworked my leg muscles and tendons and never stretched enough, to the point where my right knee was constantly at 8-10 degrees. Now PT's working overtime to correct that, painful but very essential to me. I am now between 3-6 degrees, an improvement.
However, I can now go up and down stairs (work on a 3rd floor, no elevators), which I couldn't before the surgery. Go hiking on relatively easy trails, 2 to 5 miles in length, do some TRX straps workout, mostly upper body, but do squats to strengthen those knees, alternate between elliptical and Spin bike (15 minutes at a time, don't want to push it yet), and starting to enjoy my gardening on weekends.
As said my knee is still stiff, I guess it take time for the swelling to come down, after all I had my surgery on June 8, 2022, not too long ago. Hope for the swelling to come down to the point where I will not feel any stiffness (wishful thinking).
My other knee PKR is scheduled for October 5, 2022. Not looking forward to it, but has to be done.
Good luck on your recovery all.
