Had my left knee replaced on 3/13 and I’m doing fairly well. I’m almost 69 so I’m being very careful as I’ve always had a tendency to push. The secret for me has been faithfully exercising the PT twice a day, and walk then rest. The big thing is the icing that I do which is almost around the clock. Boy do I hear you when you say it doesn’t seem to go fast enough. Just gotta be patient and keep on keeping on. Positive attitude works wonders. I limped around on that leg for four-five years. Just came across your videos and they’re a big inspiration & help. Thanks. Keep on, you’ll get there and so will I.
God Bless You. I was scheduled 02/02, now 04/05 (Surgeon injured himself). I have watched all of you many patients on UA-cam to prepare - SO helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm figuring 18 months to be 100%. Hang in there it will get better.
The pain on your knee that you explained,is your patella tendon,I have the same pain my P.T.told me,and it will go away soon hopefully, thank you for the update on your knee,God bless you 🙏
I’m at 8 weeks after TKR and everything that you said is happening to me right now!! I’m at 118 trying to get to 125, don’t know if it will happen . I also wake up with pain , especially on the outside of my knee . I only have two more PT sessions left , so I’m pushing the exercises , I guess I’ll see what happens .
Same here limping was so draining & fatiguing felt like a 100 yr old so feel TKR right time. Only out of Hospital 5th day very pleased with how things are going can see once swelling tightness twinges of pain etc settles more will be ok. So important to keep exercising push through even if rom with leg slides not good hopefully another week or so all has improved. Don't want to go into have scar tissue broken up start all over again. Elevating icing leg after moving/exercises answer. Getting around on crutchs well & at times managing 1. Sleeping on back awful very restless elevating leg on pillows hard to get comfy awake hardly sleep. May try pillow between legs on side again if can tolerate strange nerve feeling get now am a side sleeper but 0 suits 🙏 will fluke few hrs. All best with recovery we just have to be patient.
How is you knee recovery going? I am doing better but still hard going up stairs, and I have been going to the gym to try and strengthen my knee muscles.
Going good thanks vicious circle after exercise find knee sore stiff so have to ease off rest up like you say have good bad days just have to keep exercising but pace be kind to ourselves when need to. I pay for it if walk too much or ride recumbant exercise bike so have to limit use miss a day or 2 it's very tiring frustrating as want to get moving more. Love going to hydrotherapy warm water heavenly highly recommend going if can helps relieve pain aches feels great then hits later on 😂 I too struggle with getting pulling pants on/off Sir down too as don't want to risk falling few more weeks believe it will all get better before we know it thank God can't wait. Potter around in out home go shopping find that's enough then can't wait to sit put feet up 😊 just going to go with the flow. Keep up the good work going well will all pay off in the end all good effort worth it 🍀

How has your recovery been? how are you doing now?
I appreciate your info and honesty. It helps to see how others are doing with this procedure.

How was your surgery? how are you doing now? 2 months after your operation.
What to do when PT is that thing that brings pain back for a couple of days after?

Feel better from Brooklyn
How bad was your knee for you to decide you needed a TKR
I was in a lot of pain. It was hard to get around. Then, around mid-December, my knee started to collapse, and it was hard to walk as I could fall.
When can you return to work
I took 2 weeks off, then went back to work
Good video , perfect for me ,a normal person with TKR with real stats ,bending ,pain,streaitnes good cool video than you
Glad it helped
