Hello,
So pleased to have found this site. I had my TKR 13 days ago and went for my first physio check up yesterday - I'm in the UK and we don’t get offered the amount of PT that seems to happen in the US. I was told I should be walking further and needed to make my knee do straight lifts, with a towel rolled under the knee, even though that makes me cry with pain. I came home feeling very discouraged and unhappy but after reading the info on this site I understand that actually I am doing ok and must be patient. I feel much brighter today and have found such good info on here including the correct way to elevate.
