I had my TKR on Dec. 7 so I am starting week 5. I am doing PT and exercises as told. My ROM is good. Extension is lagging but I hope to get there.
what is most bothersome is the vice-grip like around the knee that prevents me from concentrating on improving my gait. The surgery apparently went very well, will see my surgeon on Jan. 20. I haven’t discovered what could lessen this grip but maybe someone else experienced it?
My energy level is fairly low since the surgery. I am unable to eat too much. Just very little food satisfies my hunger. FYI - I had general anesthesia.
please share if you experienced this feeling of a tight band around your knee. What made it better? What made it go away?Maybe just time?
Many thanks.
