Dr Smith is great! She really explained in depth why the new knee is so tight post surgery! Thanks

Thank you for these exercises, Samantha

Hi Samantha. I am at 7 weeks now with a new knee Replacement. You're seated/standing exercises have helped me enormously. My quads and legs are stronger. My balance is much better, I've so much more confidence walking without the aid of crutches. I thank you. Kindest regards Kevin Bowles ( England ).

Thanks for this Samantha !

Thank you so much! Please keep up the good work!

Hi! Just discovered you today and am so grateful for your exercises on TKR. I'm 5 weeks post op and still dealing with sharp electrical stabbing pain on the right side of the knee replacement only when walking. Not during exercises, sitting or standing. Can you provide insight and an exercise to help ease and/or or eliminate this pain.

Did these in PT and I still do at home😊

Great..😊

I have watched your video and I like the exercises, just wish I could do them all! I'm for months and can't do them all, especially the one with the band around the legs, walk forward and backwards, nor the one before, I think it's the squat and walk side to side.

Hi Dr. Smith! Just started following you! Thank you very much! I can't afford to go back to PT. I'm just 7 months post op on my left knee. My right was done last year in August and it's doing great, but my left leg feels weak when I walk. I'm going to try these and see if it will help. My PT did say my left is weaker. My surgeon says I need more time. I'm just anxious as I need to lose weight and I can't walk well and exercise if my knee isn't working. Again, I thank you very much!❤

I had hip surgery in May the. Left knee in August and right knee in November 17 not two months return to work and using my total gym and bikes. I recover well from this horrible surgeries but know I can stand all day. My hip hurts more than my knees. Still can’t rise from a regular chair. Knees hurt so I don’t sit on low rider chairs.

I am almost to 4 months and I had to take an anti- inflammatory for one month and I did well on it and help so much. I am now at 120 bend. I know for some they did amazing and I didn’t and that’s ok at 60. I’ve had so many say you’re still struggling and I say yes I am. Just move on and Just keep working on it. Mine is the strength I need back. You’ll get there. Work everyday at something on the knee. I love these videos, today is my first day doing these.

What’s good for the pain or stiffness behind your knee

I have an ankle fusuion on my right and a TKR on the left. I can't exercise the left ankle. Do you have any suggestions for me. Thank you.

❤

Hi Samantha can u direct me as to what video I should be looking for around the 5 to 6 week

How to sit cross

👍🏻

Suggestions for 3 months post total knee revision. Having no pain, minor swelling but the stiffness is an issue. I do knee bends throughout the day; squeezing my quads which has been an issue. Using the recumbent bike at gym, the elliptical bike (not sure what it is called), the knee press, etc. my knee still feels weak….is this normal at this place in my recovery. I think these are what I need…getting out of chair is still tough!

Hi Samantha, 3.5 months in after full knee replacement. Still very sore on outside of knee every day. Especially when sleeping also. What would you suggest to do for an exercise. I have tried all kinds of things. I was bone on bone before surgery and only hurt when I ran. Just concerned and all I get is that's normal. Thanks for your input

When doing the last exercise in the chair, should the heels be flat on the floor, or can they raise slightly to get a better stretch? Thank you for the video. I really like the exercises to step over the box or a bottle. I will try that right away along with the others.

Hello. I am 10 weeks out from my knee replacement. My insurance has denied anymore therapy. I am still struggling and looking for exercises that i can do on my own. My biggest issue is the muscle behind my knee gets so tight that sometimes it keeps me up at night.. what exercises can i do that will give it a good stretch? Also i have heard to concentrate on the bending and stretching that the strength with walking will come on its own. Is this true?

I don’t know how your surgeon expects you to get up and down from chairs or toilets if you can squat 😉

Good video but speaking is too much. It distracts the attention of the viewer for concentrating on the moves shown by the presenter.
