Feel relieved to find this forum! July 14 surgery for bone on bone osteoarthritis. I had No Restrictions, was told to do the home exercises, and to walk, walk, walk. Weightbearing as tolerated, letting pain be my guide. Using a walker, on 4th day I walked 400 ft approx..4 s done days later now, I continue to walk around my house, light activity level, rest and elevate and ice. Because of excessive heat in Baltimore, stopped outdoor walking. Swelling is minimal, mostly my ankles now. Does this sound right?
I am normal weight, otherwise healthy..but very anxious. I am concerned I may be over doing it for this early phase. Thoughts??
