He's been very lucky to have that much movement, no pain and lack of swelling that soon after surgery. Three weeks on and although I'm doing all my physio exercises, I'm no where near that stage yet.
@mikegullick @mikegullick Your comment seems to be 2 years old. Have you improved? I had surgery about five and a half weeks as of this writing. Can only bend my knee maybe one inch past 90 degrees. It has been hard to sleep at night. Practically every position I try does not bring pain relief enough. I have been going to physical therapy for a few weeks. Progress is slow for me. Unfortunately one of the Physician Assistants who spoke to me told me that I should have had better progress at week 2 like other people, and that I am not trying hard enough and that I have a low tolerance for pain. I think that you cannot compare your progress to others. I have heard some people will take a year to get back to normal. Being made to feel anxious and depressed does not help.
@@obscurelyvague Yes it has improved dramatically. Sometimes I don’t notice I’ve had the surgery at all, other times there can be a very slight ache and a feeling that my left knee is heavier ( understandable as it is). Just continue with the exercises, push through the pain slightly each time. Get some ice packs that you can attach to your knee overnight. Take the pain meds. It does take time, but things will improve.
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!😊I am going for TKR in a week!Such an Encouraging Video to SEE!!!I am PRAYING My Outcome is The Same!!Thank You for Sharing how Successful your Surgery went❤❤
Well good for you. I'm one week after. Pain, bad bruising, using walker,hurts to lift leg . Took 40 oxy and tylenol. Constipation. Took fiber didn't help. So drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. I m looking fwd. To no pain. Right now I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.😮
I don’t believe this testimonial. No swelling of the leg? This can only happen with a non tourniquet procedure. I’m four weeks in and walking without a cane, nearly full flexation but my leg is still bruised and swollen.
I think he had this done robotically as he talks of having a 3D custom made knee. It's less invasive on the ligaments and nerves, and much more precise.
This guy is super human!!! Just how do you heal from this thT fast???? Ive had 2 tkr's and its taken me 3x longer to do anything....i am truly bafgled at this
Well this is not normal. I’m at 5 weeks and I’m not quite where he’s at now. I go to PT with a whole bunch of people that are further along than I am and I’m better off than them.
I’m 4 weeks today, and not as far on as this man. At 2 weeks I couldn’t even lift my leg!! I think videos like this can really lower people’s mood, because they feel like they are lagging behind. Everyone is different, & recover at different time scales......hope your doing ok 🤞👍
@@lynnrushton7458 I’m 3 days from 4 months and yes I’m counting 😁. I’m walking good most of the time I’ll start limping every now and then. I tried to climb a ladder the other day to clean gutters but only got up 3 rungs and had to come back down. I can ride a bike and do everyday. That’s what 4 months got me. I don’t hurt like it used too but I do have a gremlin that sneaks up on me with a ball peen hammer and beats on me every once in awhile. I’m absolutely positive I wouldn’t have made it if I hadn’t discovered CBD cream. There’s a point you get to where there’s a surface pain that has to get some relief and that cream did it for me. I did a lot of research on CBD cream and oil so if you need a recommendation let me know. Good luck!
Josh Reed oh right 👍 thank you! Just the thoughts of climbing a ladder terrifies me! 😂 I was doing pretty well, then got ahead of myself & over done it. So had to resign myself to more rest than I was allowing myself......it’s frustrating when I’m used to getting on with stuff. Glad your mostly good......we just have to adapt I suppose. This time next year, hopefully we will be fully healed and raring to go 😉🤞🤞 Good luck!
@@obscurelyvague it is, but persevere, the physio is brutal, but so worth it. You will get there. Don’t over do it though, or you will end up having to rest more. It’s a fine balance. I’m 2 years in now, & I’m so glad I did it…..still stiffen up at night after using it all day, but it’s nothing like the pain I had before. Good luck….it won’t be forever, keep going 😉
I don’t find this unbelievable at all because I’m having nearly the same experience myself. I’ll be three weeks out tomorrow. The only difference is swelling. I was swelled pretty badly until about a week in, but since then it’s gone down about 80%. I know every knee replacement is different, but there are a lucky few of us that have a fairly easy recovery. I’m having the other knee done this fall, and that might be a completely different ball game…who knows?
I guess we all heal at different times paces. I let my bad leg go for about 10 yrs then got the surgery. Could be part of my swelling on outer side and pain one yr after replacement. Other wise good!
Don't believe this, just looking at the scar tells me he in not two weeks out. I've had both knees done, 1 robotic and 1 with a glue in joint. 6 weeks out is what I think, min.
I have had 3 replacements one on the left and two on the right. If I had to do it again I would not the pain is worse than before and am still limping,the last surgery was 2016.It was the most painful operation I have ever had, Massive bruising this time too . Good luck!
@@analuisa1898 Good surgical technique (less invasive), regional anesthesia, physical therapy with a strong emphasis on elevation and ice to control edema/swelling as well as exercises for motion while avoiding strengthening and high step counts that provoke inflammation. Some patients will not do this well even with great surgery and rehab, but recoveries like this are not uncommon either.
This is truly amazing. 1st time I have ever seen such a fast recovery. You must be a fast healer. Glad the surgery went well for you.

Did you have it done robotically?
Your pulling my leg.....don't believe all you see....

@@mikegullick I was told that ice packs should not be left on for many hours at a time and not advisable to sleep with an ice pack.
You're very lucky. My leg could not be bent for at least the first two weeks.
I had the same experience. I’ve been faithful with the physical therapy! 🌸
Amazing, well done.
I could barely move 10 feet with a walker at 2 weeks. And my pain was unbearable. You are a one in a million outlier, or just playing with us.

How did it go out of interest

Mine was robotic too, but I'm not even close to recovering like this guy.
@randyneumeyer me too 6th day after surgery i am in so much pain and swelling. Lay awake at night crying because the pain is so bad, and can't sleep
I had my R total knee replacement September 30 th it’s been 48 days today and going great but the first week was a dozy !😜
My recovery took 6mos in 2017 before I was pain free. Still great today.
This guy is super human!!! Just how do you heal from this thT fast???? Ive had 2 tkr's and its taken me 3x longer to do anything....i am truly bafgled at this
I had mako robotic surgery and after 3 weeks my knee is still twice the size of my other knee. I don’t believe this.
I agree totally
It's possible I had great results after suffering osteoarthritis for 30 years! Walking with a can after 2 1/2 weeks
If it seems to be too good to be true....
for sure.
I’m 7 weeks in and I still don’t have that kind of movement. I wish I was that lucky.
? If this is true, it’s simply amazing. I’m 3 months and still have difficulty 😮
I hope mine goes that well.

And don't You find when walking the repair knee is longer than the other?? And You see the diference when walking?
Are you his brother
I have 3 weeks after knee replacement but feel pain at the lower side of knee just towards back
He has no stiches???
That scar looks older than 2 weeks to me ?
I think that scar is older than what is being said
Wow😮 good job
Doing great. On my first I messedbup. So this next one. I will do everything correctly.
I guess we all heal at different times paces. I let my bad leg go for about 10 yrs then got the surgery. Could be part of my swelling on outer side and pain one yr after replacement. Other wise good!

Will dvt after tkr cause limping?
Partial?
That's not 2 weeks after surgery. No way.
I need any information to where I should contacts for knee replacement surgery?
You can email BarberTotalJoint@alortho.com if we can be of assistance.
This ad is a fake. Go to a reputable surgery
I pray that my knee come around 🙏
The doctor is the key.
I have had 3 replacements one on the left and two on the right. If I had to do it again I would not the pain is worse than before and am still limping,the last surgery was 2016.It was the most painful operation I have ever had, Massive bruising this time too . Good luck!
WOW!!!
definitely NOT the norm..
Yeah right😂
Don’t believe this.
This is a quicker recovery than most, but not completely uncommon either.
i agree fake
@@brianmaher8451 Nope. Completely real. A faster recovery than most, but totally achievable with modern techniques.
@@OrthoRealModern techniques like what???

For Sure that scars doesn't look 2 weeks
