After surgery you are going to have some pain but that is normal, I<br />
followed my MD orders and did my exercises 3 times a day. and after a month<br />
no more pain and after 2 months I even used shoes with a very small heel to<br />
a wedding. So I wish you the best and do whatever they say at the hospital<br />
. God Bless you<br />
One more thing try to lose weight,even 5 lbs. will help.Less stress on your<br />
joints.Try if possible stationary biking (YMCA) rather than walking,less<br />
stress on knees and should be less pain.<br />

You mention:
"full knee was very difficult"
Can you share with me what was difficult? I am 65, mid-active, and gained 26lbs since the knee went south, it hurts just to walk. I have a brace now that allows me to walk and I'm out every day walking.
Perhaps I can learn from your difficulties. Is there anything you might do differently if you, hope not, had to do it again? thank you for posting!
