6 Week Post Op Visit after Knee Replacement

This video is about your 6 week post op appointment after knee replacement surgery

[@chattyc1]

Thank you for a more realistic explanation and goal. As for pain, I’m still in tears at times. This really is the most painful thing I’ve ever endured.

[@christinerivera82168]

I'm almost 4 weeks out. I too felt that thus far this has been the most painful thing I've ever been through. I'm terrified that the time will come when I'll have to do my other knee. So painful and swollen that I'm behind in my range of motion.

I am almost to the 6 week mark. Sleep is an issue and has been since I stopped the Oxycodone and Tramadol. I stopped those about a week and a half ago. The issue wasn’t pain so much (definitely more painful at night) as it is the restless leg symptoms. I have resorted to using 600 mgs of ibuprofen every six hours throughout the day, being sure to be able to take a dose shortly before bed (a half hour before bedtime). In addition, I am taking 200 mgs of magnesium at dinner, then again right before bedtime with the ibuprofen. Finally, and I recommend this highly, provided your incision is not still showing any scabbing, I take a cup of epsom salts and add it to a warm bath. My bedtime is normally 11pm so the bath is happening right around 10:00. I be sure to soak for at least 15 minutes. Doing the above allowed me to sleep through the night! I hope it does the same for you! Good luck and fast healing. This came from my daughter who is a nurse and a gifted healer. I thank God for her!

[@douglaspost5097]

These are things nobody tell you before the operation. All I ever heard was "you'll be glad you had it done" which I'm sure is true. I'm 2 days short of 4 weeks and am already walking better than before the operation. That band around my knee had me wondering what was going on as well as feeling some clunking around of my me knee. I feel it more than hear it. This has set my mind at ease. My PT girl told me something similar too. Nice to have reinforcement. The sleep issue is still a problem though. On a good night I might get 3hrs of sleep at a time. I sleep on my side and wondered if that was why. I can't sleep on my back. I use a pillow between my knees, it helps. Thank you so much for addressing these issues it's a relief to know all these things you spoke about are normal.

I’m at 3 weeks post surgery. I’ve had good advice from my older sister for what to expect. The best advice from everyone was do the exercises. I’m coming along nicely. My physical therapist thinks I can move to a cane from the walker at the end of the coming week. I was worried about the swelling and the warm feeling in my leg until watching this video. I was also concerned about the sleep, but now know that it’s normal. That is also getting better each night. My joint was in bad shape prior to surgery, but I already see a light at the end of the tunnel.

[@roseofmercy]

Hi, I'm due for knee surgery this week. ......im dreading it! Thank you for your video! 😊

[@Diana-007]

Excellent summary, thank you, I’m now at 5 weeks post TKR aged 60 and I recognise all the things you’ve discussed, very reassuring. I had my “thank goodness this is getting better” moment the other day, phew 😅 I’ve read some horror stories from folks who are still having such a hard time 😢 my heart goes out to them, to have this major surgery and not feel improvements is awful I’m sure. I must admit I didn’t go flat out all the time with my exercises I truly felt the benefit of decent rest times and listened to what my knee was telling me, sometimes “pushing through “ isn’t the best advice, there’s ouch then there’s OUCH! 😳 I am still feeling the clunking and clicking which is a horrible sensation but hoping this settles a bit as weeks go on. One thing I do is actively think back to the horrendous stabbing OA inner knee pain that I had accompanied by awful hamstring pain prior to surgery, then count my blessings that those are totally fixed🥳. Onwards and upwards as they say! Wishing everyone the best outcome possible. I’ve a way to go but now glad I’ve had it done. 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

[@Pamela-Lynne]

Ty for this video. I am 5 weeks post-op from a complete/ full knee replacement @ 52 years old. I needed this info. Despite the severe pain I think I’m still on the right track.

[@auntielhandmade2099]

5 years post knee replacement, it was well worth the pain. It took about 18 months for me to "forget " that I have an artificial knee. I don't even think about my knee anymore going up and down the stairs, I used to go down backwards because of knee pain.

[@jimgillion6453]

I mentioned going backwards to my PT, she said ok at times, but the goal is to get you to doing things normally. I'm 6 weeks and as part of my own PT, I hold the railing and force myself to go down frontwards. a little pain, but she assures me that I have no restrictions, I won't hurt it by stretching more than is comfortable. I also had 4 sessions of prehab 2 months prior and continued it up until surgery. stretching and strength building. I think it helped. also I wasn't in severe pain prior to surgery. 71 and 50 years working on my knees

[@sherrytaylor5043]

Wow, I thought I was in a not so good place at 5 weeks. My mind has been playing tricks on me and has been the pain talking, muscle spasms through the night and lack of sleep. This just gave me sooo much more peace of mind. My follow up is next week and I was afraid I was going to get bad news. Sometimes hard to stay positive is not doing myself any good, I get it.

Thanks so much for this detailed video. Am almost 5weeks post knee Replacement. I have really been hard on myself until I saw this and knowing that am on the right track helped.

[@irenemuench7159]

Thanks for all the good information. However, at 6 weeks out, I still require narcotic pain medication at night to help me fall asleep with a toothache like pain in the knee. The Tylenol and NSAID (Advil like medicine) which I have been on since post op day 2 are not enough and sleep is important for healing. Also , I believe daytime napping is essential for those of us who slept only 2-4 hours a night for the first 6 weeks.

[@thegardenladyandmrgnome8002]

I am only 14 days post op. I was being so hard on myself. I had this unreasonable expectation and thought I should be almost back to normal. I was not prepared for the post surgery pain. The lack of sleep has my energy level at an all time low. I can hardly hold my head up during the day. Your video actually has given me more peace of mind. Thank you.

[@josephkrupp7430]

Very good video, I have had both knees replaced. I did the PT 3 times a week after surgery for 6 weeks. I continued the PT until I felt good walking. The best thing I noticed about my recovery as compared to others was my mental outlook. I was positive that I was going to recover without any more pain and full mobility.

[@donnaplater4101]

This is by far the most painful op I've ever had although I am at exactly where you're describing at this six week state. I'm doing well and slowly accepting the new knee and embracing it.

[@KingsDaughter1957]

You: "most painful op" Me: "BRUTAL!" All friends who encouraged me ahead of time talked about how GLAD I would be in a few months. NO ONE told me how BRUTAL the post-op pain would be, especially the first 7-8 days. I feel like I should have been better prepared by my surgeon's staff, but maybe they're afraid patients will cancel the surgery. I was caught totally off-guard by the level of pain I have experienced. However, when and if my other knee needs to be replaced, THEN I will be prepared, psychologically as well as physically.

I highly recommend doing preoperative exercises to strengthen the quads. It makes a big difference.

[@teofilstevenson]

Great great video. Im almost 4wks post and 10 yrs after my first replacement. The first knee was the devil, plus I wasn’t mentally prepared. I mean how can you mentally prepare for a process like this when added motion challenges are placed on top (I lost 25lbs thru this entire depressed 2 month rehab state). So this time I know better what to expect plus the actual procedure has evolved, I’m ahead of where I was 10yrs ago but the sleep challenge is just tough - no way around it. Once I did fall asleep at 5am this morning I awoke to muscle craps inside the knee, no way you gonna sleep thru those 😮. For anyone struggling thru the first time process or considering having this done, the end result is EXCELLENT and well worth the tough 2+ month rehab. As I mentioned, the first knee 10yrs ago was particularly difficult but IS THE REASON I just had the other done. You will live pain free and feel the freedom to enjoy physical activity once again. Keys: *Do your exercises*, remain positive (not easy) and trust the process.

Thanks for the informative and helpful video Doc. I am 6 weeks out and coming along fine after a TKR. My only problem is a sciatica nerve problem in the same leg as my TKR. I am scheduled for a MRI this week to find the cause of my sciatic problem. I finally got to sleep in my bed after sleeping on a recliner for the past month. I encourage all those going for a TKR ago do all the exercises before and after surgery faithfully and daily as required. I found that using a Cold therapy machine works great along with some battery operated compression sleeves for my legs calfs. I also use a small 1 1/2”-2” paint roller for massaging those muscles. I will use a cane when I go out somewhere walking just for safety reason for you never know when you will need it. Thanks again

I did 3 months prehab and I felt great BUT my GP/PCP stuffed up and wouldn't send me to physio. The surgeon told me to just start small walks..The next morning I woke up at 4am and couldn't tell what was hurting- it wasn't my knee! It was my other leg and the foot. Normally I only take ibuprofen and talk myself out of Oxy but it took 10 seconds to decide and I had not touched Oxy since 10 days p.o!! 5 days later I can't walk on the crutches . My ankle on the bad leg feels badly sprained and I can't bear weight on it. Every day something else hurts. I'm going crazy as I haven't been out of the house (except for 3 drs vists) for 8 weeks. This is ridiculous bcoz there's no knee pain and half the scar has gone!!!

yep, I also had 4 sessions of prehab 2 months prior and continued it on my own up until surgery. stretching and strength building. I know it helped. also I wasn't in severe pain prior to surgery. I think many people wait too long and the condition of their joints prior to surgery goes a long way as to their recovery. I had TKR on my right knee, and was driving with little discomfort at 3 1/2 weeks. don't wait until you can't walk to get surgery. I'm 6 weeks, still swollen and some "noise" but I can kneel carefully with a pad, (PT did have me practice at 5 weeks) and back to work (physical work) by 5 weeks.

[@donnachardeen9362]

Thank you for this video. I am 6 weeks and 2 days post tkr surgery. You nailed it on every issue presented - except I do not have any noises coming from the new joint. I had and still have those noises in the (other) knee before surgery due to osteoarthritis. Bubble wrap and popping is my normal. I appreciated this very no-nonsense explanation of what I should be feeling. The pain is totally tolerable except during and after PT. I understand that should hurt. I am worried about scar tissue and the potential that my doctor raised about needing his intervention if I cannot bend the knee (flexion) at the expected milestones. My next appointment is 2 weeks away and I am very anxious about that. I do not want medical intervention at this point. One thing I rarely see discussed in these videos is depression. I am better now, but I have cried more in the last 6 weeks than ever in my life. I am just not a crier. I attribute it to medication, sleep interrupted and pain. But it's also frustration at now long this is taking and the general feeling of Groundhog Day. I know I am improving. It's just so incremental and I am struggling. My PT is a wonderful resource for level setting my expectations and setting realistic goals. I am also trying so hard to not compare my recovery to anyone else's. Anyway, thank you again for this video. It is just what I needed to hear today.

Spot on I’m 6 weeks on from surgery and that pretty much sums it up I’m walking around the block every day and mowing the lawn and hoping to go back to work in a couple of weeks I’m a house painter

Best information I have seen

Thank you for this video very informative. I was wondering if where I am at was good or not. I’m 6 weeks in and really can’t complain except for the sleeping part . But thank God the last two nights I have slept right through. Thank you again and God Bless

Absolutely brilliant so important to have this information

I'm 18 days out from my knee surgery & was working on eliminating use of pain pills. Then my knee had other ideas & now thigh muscel pain & some some muscle spasms. This video was encouraging & the information very helpful. Thank you

Do you experience tightness around the knee? I’m 3 weeks and doing pretty good but now feel such tight feeling. I’m depressed thinking of all this work and to know I have to do the other one.

Just now read your posting Shelia & headed towards 3 mos. Jan 12th. I'm making progress but it seems slow only because of a mix of good days & bad days of discomfort or something, then I'll look back & see my progress. And it IS there! I need to be thankful that I'm NOT facing a 2nd knee as you are. Good luck!
