Congratulations on your progress! Keep up the great work. I am on week 4, and the pain and PT are not easy to take, but will try hard.

First TKR, was in hospital for two days. Second TKR, I was home in 6 hours.

At the 5 week mark as well. Strength is not a problem. Swelling and flexibility still an issue. I had a 100 degree active bend and 104 degree passive. Just a note, if you have good muscle tone in your leg the flexibility will be more of an issue. Good luck to all.

I've got the same problem, I've always had good strong leg muscles through work and sports but found stretching after knee surgery a problem, its getting there and sure it will be better soon xx take care everyone xx

Maybe I’m being optimistic but after 6 weeks I expect to be fully functional with some pain. Been in pain for a decade while walking so the upside is 100% at least for me. Congrats to all that are being brave with this surgery.

Yes! I feel confident you will be doing great at 6 weeks! Congrats!

I think that’s unrealistic. Now the original pain is completely gone but all the soft tissue and nerve damage still has to heal. 6 months out and I’m 80% back to where I want to be. My surgical knee hurts less than my non surgical knee.

Wow! Going in for surgery in a few weeks. These videos really help those of us that are nervous or having both done. Thank you for the video.

I had both of my knees done at the same time and I can't say that's it's been easy, but it will definitely be worth it when I'm 100% recovered! I'm 17 weeks post-op and constantly surprised at what I can (or can't!) do. : )

@ Thank you for replying. I am 17 days out. I could handle the knee, i think, but the rest of my body is so arthritic and tired. I thought I was doing great but tried to take a ride with husband just to get out and see life happening. I cannot sit with my leg hanging down…the pain became unbearable. Spending so much time on a wheelchair prior to surgery has made this a nightmare because my muscles are so weak. My knee was ready when covid hit, then THREE YEARS to get appointment. I’m just down, but I know that had I been walking prior, this would be a blessing. Walking without pain already is a miracle. Dedicated to getting flexion, only at 105 now. I still watch videos of those that have come through for inspiration. Have other done in 10 weeks. 🫣. Wishing all THE BEST of luck for a great recovery.
