Morning folks
I came across bonesmart in my endless internet searching for some feeling that I'm going through 'normal' recovery! Sitting up awake at 4.30am with ice pack wrapped round my knee wondering how much tighter can it get! (my poor husband trying to sleep)
My TKR was on 28th June 2019 and I got home from hospital on day 5. It feels like I'm making big progress every day, but struggling with the swelling and tightness. I've been given what looks like all the same exercises as lots of others (reassuring) and trying really hard with the heel slides (definitely the toughest).
Does it get better when the staples come out? (Next Thursday)
Usually I'm a lurker in forums like this but seems like a great community of support so thought I would step in
