TKR MikeinVA Recovery Thread

It sounds all normal to me! I was at about 87 degrees flexion at around 3 weeks post-op too, a little slower than with my first knee but continued to have improvements as the weeks went by.

Keep icing, elevating and resting as much as you can too. You are still healing and it's still early days for that baby knee.

Great! We'll be here for you for all the ups and downs of recovery.

I told my wife last night, based on the way this knee has gone, the next one will probably be a nightmare To make up for this being relatively easy.

My first was easy & I assumed the same but my second is pretty much the same! I’m more exhausted with this one and more “zingers” but otherwise, the same.

A little over 6 weeks, the DR has now said no restriction's other that running and jumping. Knee is bending at 110 degrees. I still have quite a bit of swelling but making progress.
