Hello to all of you. I am a new kid on the block...just found this forum!!
I hope my question is appropriate for this forum...
I had a knee replacement done a year ago (waiting to have the other one done). The operation went very well. The only problem that I have is to go down the stairs. My question is a 2 part question. My doctor suggested that I loose a good 30-50 pounds before the other operation (Yes I am overweight!! and trying very hard to do something about it!!!)
I cannot walk more than 15 minutes, I get pain in both of my knees. My question is should I keep walking after 15 mnutes so my knees will be more flexible?
Other question: I was all excited, my husband bought me a new bike few days ago. Big disapointment! I can hardly pedal.... + a bit shaky should I keep trying ?
Any of you can bike after a knee replacement?Iif so how did you do the first time? Anyy suggestins would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Have a nice day
