Hi I am also on my 2nd knee replacement. My right knee was replaced May 31, 2018 and my left knee was replaced on Dec. 6th, 2018 so I’m almost 5 weeks out. I had what was called the minimal invasive surgery. Have any of you heard of this? It’s supposed to be quicker to heal. My right knee went very well but my left knee has been more stubborn. I’ve been driving for a couple weeks. My PT was only for 2 weeks but I’m continuing the exercises 3 x a day at home. My problem is swelling!! It doesn’t want to go down. When I wake up in the morning it has minimal swelling but by the end of the day it is bad! My foot and lower leg is not swollen , it’s all in the kneecap. I’m icing a lot!! And elevating!! Anybody else have issues with swelling?? Thanks so much!
