@Josephine, I would just like to reiterate that my TKR was in March 2018 and my knee issues developed after my Revision THR in March this year when I was finally able to walk since October 2017.
So, the results from Portugal are ...
1. pain zero lying, zero sitting, 3-4 on standing and walking.
2. None. Occasionally I take a 1,000mg effervescent Paracetamol on waking if stiff.
3. No swelling. As the day progresses I get a slight puffy bit just below and inward of my knee which I massage along with the whole kneecap.
4. ROM is guesstimated at 120/0.
5. No icing, not necessary.
6. Not elevating. Use a foot stool when sitting.
7. Activity level zilch! I do no housework, cooking, cleaning or shopping, have a wonderful Hubby.. Not comfortable standing for than 5 minutes and am then leaning against something. My balance is poor. My day consists of getting up, bathing, dressing, exercising, crocheting and sitting outside for about two hours. Too much time on backside.
8. At home exercise
Pedaling sitting in chair for 20 minutes, once a day.
Glute, quad and calf squeezes necessary for my atrophied muscles. 10 reps each 3/4 times a day.
I get up and walk about 40 steps every hour, with walker migrating to crutches from time to time.
I stand up for balance for a few minutes and sometimes march on spot for rep of 10. No specific timing.
No formal PT.
I hope I have answered sufficiently for you to assess my issue.
Thank you in advance.
