A little girl is kicking my butt!  Started rehab after the knee replacement surgery last week. The therapist can't weigh 90 pounds soaking wet but she almost brought me to tears yesterday. Second session is tomorrow and they have me scheduled for 2 times a week for 12 weeks. I might should be making out my will instead of posting on the forum.  |

PT is tough but it'll pay off. My sis in law had that surgery a year ago, you can't tell it today. She was a fanatic about doing what they told her and was released ahead of schedule.

My dad had a knee replacement and didn't follow through on all the therapy and it was never right. Stick with it and in a month or so you'll be in good shape. |

It hurts like HELL but I'm sticking to the PT program. Actually I'm exceeding it and that may be what I'm dong wrong. Did way too much walking yesterday and can hardly bend my leg this morning. I need this pain gone so I can go fishing again. 021

My Dad did one knee and it was so much improved he did the other one 18 months later. Be religious about the PT, but don't push it too far. You've got a lot of muscles and tendons, etc. that have to get reoriented. Just do what they tell you and keep it loose.

Gone from 3 sessions a weeks to 2 and hate to have to do them but I guess the old saying "no pain, no gain" is true. I'm getting around with the help of a cane and keeping my fingers crossed I can chunk that in a week or two.

Hang in there Juan this second replacement it does get better 30 years of compensating caused this one I’m doing rehab as wel Wow! You had more staples than I did. I only had 27. I wish you luck and a speedy recovery. I'm on my 6th week and mine gets a little better every day. I ditched the cane yesterday and now if the swelling would go away, I'll be ready to fish again. (with a limp) I rode the lawnmower for a while today and I'm paying for it now. Hope you're wrong Phil but there's a lot of them going around.  |

Damn, you guys are falling apart! I'm not much better. I've been putting off rotator cuff surgery for a few years now. I keep waiting for something else to happen so I only have to meet the deductible one time! |
