Hi @Lauramacky

Welcome back! I'm sorry it's because you need another knee replacement, though.

If all goes to plan, I'll be having my second knee replacement just a few days after you, so we will be recovering together.

Best wishes!

@Lauramacky Today is the day! Let us know how things went as soon as you can. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

@Lauramacky My husband had a fairly easy recovery the first knee. This knee the pain is an issue, but despite that this knee has better ROM and feels more stable. The incision even looks better this time. Enjoy being home!

@Lauramacky His surgery was the 6th, then he discovered he could lift his leg the 8th and kept lifting it to show everyone, and did 2 PTs and practice stairs, and walked the whole length of the hall, and had a shower all in the same day. That night the pain started and hasn't gone down much since! It didn't help he had some bad 'narcotic jerks' and some were in his knee. PT Wednesday his ROM was 82 and 6 today his ROM was 90 and 4 even with it swollen. His ROM was 91 and 14 in the hospital before he overdid it. Just remember on the days you feel great don't overdo it. It is easy to do!
