Glad this showed up. When I had my 1st surgery, the pt had me do it the reverse and that was painful. My son ended up hiring a company to transport me and bring me up. The home pt when I told him what the hospital pt did, he was upset. I learned to go down the stairs backwards. That was much easier to manage. Now I am facing my 2nd surgery on the other knee in about two months.

Thank you ❤

I love your stuff, Dr. Samantha. 2nd knee 5 weeks post op, doing well. Thank you.

Since I still can't put full weight on my knee, I use a cane along with the banister to help get me up and down. The cane gives me extra stability. When I was released from the hospital I actually went up the front stairs backwards using the walker. Not the idea way and apparently not used before because the people at the hospital were shocked when I suggested it. But for me it worked.

Great information

I am waiting Tkr with very useful video ma Thank you so much

Good information, I am months out from first TKR. I will remember good goes up to heaven, bad down to hell.

Thank you for this advice...greettings from Guatemala. I just had knee surgery one week ago...

Six months out from my TKR I'm walking 2 to 3 miles a day stairs still give me trouble and my knee is still swelling especially at night after a day of walking around. I think they need to give you the narcotic pain killers for a little while longer.

❤❤❤❤❤

I had my right knee done in December 2022, is still sore & numb on the outside . Had the left knee done November 2023 so am just over 6 months. I walk well but getting up & stairs are very sore. My surgeon says all is good with the knees as they are internally still healing but wonder how long before they just feel “normal” ?

3 years later and I still have pain going downstairs.

In case both the knees have surgery how should I climb stairs?

You can go sideways or just might have to wait until pain subsides. It’s tough with both knees!

@@dr.samanthasmith Thank you so much doctor. Actually three months back my left knee was operated. I have decided to go for the right after six months. I can't go before I get the support of the left knee as my non-operated right knee is giving now.

I can go up but still can't go down. Sx was 3 mos ago
