When Can You Go Back to WORK after TOTAL KNEE Replacement

[@dradamrosen]

Have you already had a total knee replacement? How long did it take you to return to work?

[@jeanielarson314]

Thank you for addressing this and helping me feel like it’s more than ok to put my health first! I went back too soon after my first knee and this one has been SO much harder!

As always, very informative video. After my TKR last year, I was amazed at how tired I was for quite awhile. Good information, Dr. Rosen!

Great to hear!

I was retired when I had my first tkr. I recall how tiring those first 6 to 8 weeks were and how much I slept during the day. My second one is schedule for March. Thanks for the great education that you’re giving us.

You are welcome.

It does depend - I have a desk sedentary type job. I’m now 10 days post tkr. Doing well with range of motion . I’m planning to go back to work on day 21. I realize that sounds soon but I believe I can elevate and ice at work. I did this with my first tkr and it did work out. It was early though. I’m already off the oxy and gaba.

I reached 130 ROM by 2nd week but I am in my 7th week and some days I can't walk due to swelling and tightness. 😢
