Hello All! I am in my third week of recovery after TKR on my left knee on October 30. I just finished my home PT and will start with an outpatient PT group next week. At this point, I feel like I am doing okay. I get in at least two exercise sessions a day. Most of my pain occurs at night when it seems like my knee gets rock hard at which time I try to massage and ice. I tend to elevate the left leg at night for comfort.
I ice as much as I can take. I am now using the cane and do a bit of walking around the house throughout the day. I use my stairs (13 steps) in my exercise routine.
I do have a question. How does cold weather affect the KR? Can I expect to have to warm my knee up with a heating pad on those chilly days?
