No one can tell you what a total knee replacement is like, you have to experience it yourself. My problem is the inadequate pain management of early discharged patients. You should stay at least two days for pain management. Oxycodone by mouth doesn’t compare to IV narcotics. This is the third most painful surgery out there, don’t sugar coat it. It’s a long painful recovery, but it beats sitting on the couch the rest of your life.

My nights are bad, day good! Progressing! Better than bone on bone pain

Starting to feel a tad better, I am retired. I still am sleep deprived…my knee bends and extends well, stairs going down bother me a bit. I have physio twice a week. It has been way too cold to swim lately and the weather has not been kind to my poor knee.

I respect the comments of the actual patients! Doctors are good for clinical advice, but unless he or she has had the surgery,they don't really know!!!!!😮

When can I use elliptical machine?

What are the exercises I should be doing now at 10 weeks. And no longer in pt so how do I know my range of motion. I was 124 when discharged from pt.

This doctor makes it sound easy im at 7weeks and do physio twice a day, i britain you get to go to physio once a fornight and pay a fortune for a personal trainer, off canes after 5 weeks and manage stairs okay, but still get days when i feel im going backwards stiffness and still sore at times frustrated and depressed at times

Describe it in Hindi

Don’t do it this is utter Bollocks, folks are never the same, start a stretching program, all these docs want is to operate and get cash, when you understand this you’ll win.

Four months since T KR 130 s flexibility. Everything going great except when does that rubber band around my knee goes away. Does it ever go away completely? I am 80 years old and this tightness bugs me. 🤗🤗

It sounds like life will be bad, but a friend of mine had both knees shattered in car accident, he went no surgery, physical therapy and he's still having pain. Either way it's tough. I know people who had good experiences and those who haven't. I dreed this day, but if im going be recouping w/o surgery with no end in site, im choosing surgery

Hallo sir I had knee surgery at about 10 weeks ,still now my knee is not bending perfectly ,up to 100 it is bending I am doing excerces , walking and other therapy’s what succession are giving please

I am now 10 weeks post TKR and 3 weeks post MUA. I still have knee pain and limited range (comfort zone is 80 degrees and I can get to 105 under great duress). I have had 30 PT trips and work out on my own about 2-3 hours daily. I still cannot walk without a limp or sleep in a bed, or sit comfortably for meals. I have the sensation that the implant is too big for me. What are my options?

If you’re regretting the surgery it didn’t hurt enough before. It’s a total grind to do all the PT, exercise, stretching but not feeling that bone on bone grind and walking pain free is already a win.

You're never the same after a total knee replacement they're heavy! 😡

They don't tell you about your knees being heavy be careful! Try everything else before you get a total knee replacement!

One more thing , I was told it’s a 3 month recovery but that’s a lie, one month in and I don’t believe in 2 more months I’ll be 100 % , making progress bending and walking on new knee with more power little by little but far removed from feeling 100 , maybe a year it’s more likely

I watched alot of these videos on what you should fell like after knee replacement I can tell first hand that not everybody has the same experience I didn't have any pain a little discomfort that it so my is see how you feel after surgery everyone is different these videos not telling you that

These videos are very informative and can be reviewed and shared with others. Do you all make patients aware of them?

Not a Knee replacement - I had a Quad Tendon Rupture Feb-2022. I have had four surgeries - all of which have failed to at least some extent, and a major arthro cleanout due to a Staph infection. I am well over 70. The first two surgeries failed completely. The last one with a Graft and anchors has a small tear but appears to be holding. They held me from PT for two months to allow some healing on that last one. The staph infection required 13 4 liter bags of cleanout fluid to clear and 6 weeks of IV antibiotic infusions so I am WAY behind in my recovery. I have been told that I might not achieve 90 degree Flexion but I am close to 100 and might get to 110 this coming month. Funny that I never really had any pain (Always had a high pain tolerance) and never needed the Narcotic Pain relievers but take Ibuprofen as an anti- inflammatory. My swelling is now finally starting to diminish after more than a year and I can drive a car but not my tractor. I am finally able to actually walk reasonably well although there is some discomfort from the swelling still. I still take steps one at a time though. They have deliberately been careful with my PT due to the tear since the DR says there is no possibility of another operation. Progress therefore has been slow but I have progressed more than they thought I would. I am back to regular workouts in addition to my PT but miss squating - can only us a Leg Press so far.

2 weeks out from TKR and still have some pain from the results of the tourniquet they used. I suggest anyone getting a TKR get a Cold Therapy Machine and 2 battery operated compression sleeves for both legs. I also use a heating pad after using the cold therapy machine. Having a recliner that reclines almost level is also needed if you want to get a good nights sleep. A pill box also is something I suggest for the different medications and different times you take the different medications works better than reading the pill bottles every time they need to take them. Keep the Faith and you will survive and be back on track.

My insurance only covered 6 weeks it’s very expensive pt. I’m 3 months post tkr & can’t straighten my knee

🙏☘️💚

Had tkr 12 weeks ago. My insurance only covered 6 weeks of pt. Can’t afford to go to the gym or get a personal trainer & can’t afford to join a swimming pool. Had to go back to my full time job after 6 weeks & this is now 12 weeks & my knee is stiff & can’t straighten leg & still is uncomfortable at night when trying to sleep

Go to work !

Arduous, is absolutely correct. I am so sick and tired of the whole thing. I hate doing the exercises, they bloody well hurt, like hell. I just want it all to go away.

Hello Doc, this is my knee impression, waiting for Ortho Appointment, extremely painful. Will like to know if a knee replacement is needed please h. Extensive degenerative tearing of the medial meniscus with horizontal oblique component of the body and posterior horn, and extensive tearing of the body which decompresses peripherally into a large area of parameniscal cysts measuring up to 3.7 cm in total extent. 2. Free edge fraying of the lateral meniscus body and degeneration at the anterior root. 3. Relatively mild tricompartmental chondrosis. Faint degenerative subchondral edema at the medial tibial plateau. 4. Small joint effusion.

Except for housewives. Apparently we are fine to return to full active duty at 2 months. Because people who haven't had knee surgery, have no clue, what we are going through.

How about night time? Should it be pain free??

well said. At 7 weeks am walking everywhere and doing 2 lots of 10 minutes on excercise bike plus other excercises. 125 degree flex.. No pain in knee, sleeping pain free.

I have get my don't in October 17 2022 I am silly in pain when my

going well, better than expected. almost into second month and can bend 120 degrees, also ride exercise bike for two lots of 5 mins daily which really helps. Can walk around shops for 10 to 15 mins once a day with no issue.

Had my right knee replaced this past July. Was walking unsupported day three after surgery. Doc prescribed Oxycodone and while it worked fairly well for pain- that shit made me paranoid. Asked doc to gimme something else and he gave me some heavy duty Norco. Yea the exercises are important to prevent scar tissue but I believe nothing is better for yr new knee than actually USING it. Of course, yr mileage may vary. Having my other replaced at the end of this month👍🏻

Your living the dream? Most people in their 70’s never exercise, do you really think that after a knee replacement they will suddenly start an exercise regime?

I am three mnths post op at the age of 68 and i am happy. My PT was happy with me at six weeks and i dont do any exercises and walk better than before. Pain free. Very happy with my dr.

Ask about seven yrs ? More pain then before the surgery, I used to have issues in the spring & fall as the weather would change. The knee would be stiff and gravelly feeling. Now I have that pain yr-round thx to the surgeons @ Bronson in Kalamazoo, Mi.

! ! ! H E L L ! ! !

This surgeon is condescending and not that optimistic.....what a dumbass!

I wonder if he’d be saying all that if he actually had a total knee replacement…. He makes it sound sooooo easy! Everyday is a challenge, I don’t think anyone wants not to succeed. The realism is that everyone is different and you do what your body allows at that time… it’s work in progress…..

I think this is in general advice. I am 2 months into my second TKR and have found compared to my first that this time is much easier. I'm at 110 flexion after 5 weeks, still some swelling and pain. Short walks with no aides. But you just got to keep going every day keep at it work through the pain ice and cryocuff help a lot. Anti inflamatories. Each person will have different response and progress. Do the best you can. Good luck to all of you.

130 degrees of bend 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, I'm way way behind. I must get on it.

Thank you for the information. I am at 3 months. My doctor has released me from physical therapy, only home pt, and I will see him again at the 6 month mark. I am 67, in great health & doing my exercises every day religiously. I do still have some swelling. I seem to be stuck at 110 degrees. That’s unacceptable to me. Is there a point where I will just be unable to get any more flexion than that? Or is there hope for more bend…it’s very frustrating to me. I am retired, but back to doing all of my normal every day activities, just stuck at 110

I'm 6 weeks Post Op. At 3 weeks I had 70 degrees flexion from subacute rehabilitation. Checked out and went to my Physical Therapist. He freaked out and said I should be much further along saying I was heading towards a manipulation (MUA). He scared me so I intensified my exercises. Was in the gym daily, home exercises, and PT thrice weekly. Now after six week my Flexion today was 130 degrees and zero degree straight. So now I'm working on knee and quad strengthening. Yes it was excruciating painful but I committed to the goals. Now mostly achieved. It can be done but ya just gotta work harder and fight through the pain.

Good information. I use the treadmill or walk. My new knee is much stronger than my other knee. I can really tell when I am working outside.

Read your script again and again. You'll get better with practice William.

I am getting ready for total knee knee replacement on my right side. I have been reading the horror stories about how painful it is and that the first month is like hell. I hope i can make it through it.

I have had one knee done, so I knew the basics. However, this was very informative.

I’m 58 years old and had my left knee replaced 1 month ago. The pain has been bad and the lack of sleep quite depressing. However the range of motion has improved dramatically and bit by bit the pain is lessening. I guess you just have to stick with it and grit your teeth
