TKR Post op 1st week

[Totallyready]

I am fully intending to follow this advice thank you so much for your advice it’s so much appreciated, the pain from the exercises have been awful and I hope it’s not caused me a longer recovery Thanks

Hi Rainynz. I am at 11 weeks post op, Total knee, right. It does get better. The best thing is you found this forum!! I started PT at home, 3 times a week, but it was gentle. then I did 4 weeks outpatient pt, which I just ended with my Doctors blessings. The gals at outpatient were a bit pushy and inconsistent. I did a bit of walking yesterday and ordered an under desk type of peddle bike. I intend to reach 115 and beyond if I can. I want to wish you all the success!!!

I mostly go to formal PT for the social aspect. It does me good to get out of bed, clean up, put on some make-up.
The recent TKR is surgery #5, so I know what to do! However, I am grateful for the massage my therapist does.
I highly recommend an exercise bike, that's pretty much all you really need.
