TKR Pulled Ligament in Week 6 recovery

[BlueSkiesHere]

@mendogal ... I totally agree and I must get back to being more conscious of this (obviously). No more avoiding my daily routines that I have done for years!
Hahaha - your morning routine is like mine almost to the tea (pardon the pun). I literally make coffee instead of tea, go through the same routine because I have two cats. I never thought of the morning routine as a little workout!
I like the idea of setting a timer and focus on breath. Body mechanics, yes.
Thank you!

My pleasure! We're all in this together!

Another update...Just in case you all think I don't hear you guys, take it in and follow GOOD experience and advice.
As well as the sage advice of doing ADL and increasing my daily's gradually, I just made an appointment with a second knee surgeon completely outside of the system where I had my RTKR for a second opinion. It is a month from now, but he has been a surgeon for 30 years in the hospital system I go to for all my medical needs. He does Orthopedic sports medicine, orthopedic surgery and knee orthopedic surgery including arthroscopy. I was researching to find someone that does arthroscopy just in case. I hope that is not called for however as I researched finding second opinions they said it would be important to find some who specializes to evaluate the knee surgery that has been done.
Now if I could just get that "head" to stop...ugh.

Blue skies, I have just read your posts with a lot of interest because your problems with recovery sound very similar to mine. Saw my surgeon today for the one year post TKR visit. He thinks the lower knee pain may be from the patellar tendon and has ordered an MRI. Walking any distance causes me that pain you describe. Hope you have found some improvement since your last post.

@LeftKnee123 wondering if you have a recovery thread I could follow along?

Here it is:

TKR - Sympathetic Nerve Block

Looking for others who have had the robotic TKR. My recovery is now at about 4 and 1/2 weeks. Making progress but still a way to go I hope as my walking is slow and stairs very hard.
