How I wish I had found this forum a few weeks ago. I had a TKR on 16 December, came home on 21st with a cryo cuff (no cooler), and crutches. I was given paracetamol to take and that was it. Since then I have had 5 physio sessions, only one of which did I feel was useful. For 4 of them she was only in the room for about 5 minutes of the 30. I was given a skateboard to use at home to get my knee to bend. I have no idea what my ROM etc is.
Having said all this, I don’t feel I am doing too badly as I can get up and down stairs and around the house mostly without using crutches, I just have problems getting up and down from sitting. Not yet been shopping.
Have others in the UK had the same experience with aftercare? I do not go back to the surgeon until 25 Feb.
