Thanks for the update! Being mostly pain free is my goal. Standing on a knife is an understatement 😂❤

Good to know these details. Thank you.

I had my left knee done 4 days after yours . Tomorrow is my 6 weeks. I share a lot of what you describe. My ROM max is 105. I’m walking and climbing stairs pretty well but my leg gets tired easily Glad you are doing well and enjoying your updates!

Last monday I was on my knee/leg 2 or 3 hours. It took the rest of the week to get over it. Yesterday I was on it for 3 or 4 hours and its only a little sore this morning. Still dont doing good with steps and thats what I am pushing myself with right now. Sleep is kinda off and on. It doesnt hurt, but it gets stiff and I wake and walk around and then cant go back to sleep at times. We're getting there!

Thanks for this update. You touched on some things I needed to hear. Keep them coming as you feel!😊

The sharp pain are zingers!

Glad you're doing good. Had mine done on the 19th, and PT starting to push for more flexion...we pushed it to 100, but with a pain level of 8..lol Flying downstairs, but UP is still a challenge. Can't wait to swing a golf club....thanks

You'll get there!

Sounds like you are doing really good. You and i had surgery right around the same time, mine was Dec 20th and I dont have that full flexion like you do. Its getting there, but its slow going and I am exercising it alot. Are you still going to PT or are you done with that? Also, do you use a cane when walking? I do, and that really helps with balance and also with helping me to use steps - up and down. My issue seems to be more the stiffness and pain when doing exercises. Glad to see you are doing so well. I will post an update tomorrow after my 6 week check up with Dr. Thanks for posting!

It gets stiff, especially when I'm can't move it much, like driving or when I was setting in the barber's chair yesterday. Rom is good but I have to keep working it or it will tighten up. I over done it last week and I really got it to hurting. This week has been much more controled. Sounds like you are really doing well with steps. Your doing great! Keep on keeping on, we'll get there!

I will be at 4 months post surgery on April 22. Still have some swelling and stiffness. Hopefully going back to work after my next appointment on the 23rd🙏

Thanks for this

I’m turning 58 on April 17th and getting my knee replacement on the 18th lol , my knee has been feeling great since a Jell Shot almost a year ago but numerous surgeries through the years and it’s time I guess ! Just having 2nd thoughts , thanks for your honest take on it !
