I had to hire a trainer a year after my knee surgery to help me develop leg strength post surgery. Therapy just got me to walk without a cane and that’s about it. I still have pain, but it’s getting better.

I use my cat for the stand up sit down exercise & weighs 15 lbs …. maybe I’m overdoing it 😂😂 By the way, I have gotten a LOT of value from your videos, your passion to help is great!

Best of luck!

If you excercise everyday rigorously your entire leg will become stronger and pain will be alleviated

Wrong! That's just what I did! Exercise. Prior to surgery, legs were strong, too! Now, from overtraining, doctor said I have bursitis!😩

Dr. Sam, do you have a video on knee strengthening excercises before the knee replacement？ I am scheduled in July and will watch these videos again, thank you-

How long does it normally take for the knee pain to go away after total knee replacement.

Everyone is different. Some people say they have no pain at six months and some people say the pain is there even two years later.

May I do these exercises after a patella surgery?

You’ll want to ask your doctor

Dr. Smith, It's been 35 days since my knee replacement surgery. I have started regular 15-minute walks outside my house with one crutch. I am able to manage my pain with pain medication and ice packs during the day. However, I am unable to have a few hours of sleep at night, despite taking pain medications, at night. Sleep deprivation is negatively impacting my recovery. Is there anything you can recommend?
