I am three months post op for bilateral total knee replacement. I still have a lot of pain in my knees and the soft tissues around them, can’t walk more than 10 yards without pain, I feel very disappointed so far. I do all the exercises and go to physical therapy and take pain medication twice a day, Celebrex And sometimes Norco.
I read about a lot of people who have got up and walking without pain after a few weeks, fully active by three months. I don’t see myself anywhere close.
I am have my visit with my surgeon in three weeks, I don’t know what to tell him, yell at him or tell him he has butchered my knees. I am upset with him.
I wanted to have minimal invasive surgery, and two weeks before my surgery date, I find out that he does not perform minimal invasive surgery. On their office web site they talk about using the latest technology and techniques and they even talk about using minimal invasive surgery. It was too late for me to drop my surgeon and start with another surgeon because I had been waiting for that surgery date for four months.
I regret my decision to go with this surgeon.
Did any of you had minimal invasive surgery? How was your recovery?
God Bless
