    Excellent suggestions, thank you for being there for us TKR warriors! Even at 10 months PO stretching still helps especially for me as a senior!

    Yes I just had knee replacement 2 months ago which then caused sciatic pain, which prevents me from doing all my rehab exercises, so terrible! My therapist has given me 3 stretches to do also. Thanks for these!

    Ok when you pointed out where the area of the pain can emanate I was literally saying to myself that was the exact area it bothers me the most.

    Dr. Sam: I'm almost 65, have a spinal cord stimulator for my sciatica and had my R. Knee replacement 9 months ago. The sciatica will still flare up for about a week if I do something I shouldn't and runs down the back of the right legs. Can the stretch shown help? Thanks.
