Total Knee replacement

[Lurch]

Sitting at just over a month and half on mine. Stay on the pain meds because it effing hurts. I thought I had a high pain tolerance and this brought me to tears a few times. Ice Ice baby and elevation, get an ice machine with the circulation wrap and use it nonstop. Getting your range of motion back is crucial so get to PT as often as possible. Riding a stationary bike is the best for breaking up scar tissue but work on your quads and calfs.

Good luck

Just 5 months having my right knee done. Only had formal therapy once a week for 5 weeks, but was given home exercises that I did 3 to 4 times a day. I still do some exercises every day especially flexibility. Second the ice machine. I iced after all home exercise sessions. I think it is a good idea to do strength exercises prior to surgery. Everybody is different but my pain was not that bad. I was off pain meds after two weeks and was able to drive by three weeks.

Good Luck
