@dkapustin When I had my TKRs I had not heard of stem cell therapy but I think I would have been hesitant too. That's a lot of money to spend and have to risk that it may not help. Also, being new they really do not know how long the therapy will remain effective.

I remembered after I did my previous post, that although I did not wear compression stockings my ortho had me wearing something on my leg that at certain intervals would get pumped up with air to make it tight. This was to help with circulation. I had to wear it for two weeks, 22 hours a day. It was a nuisance when I had to get up at night for a bathroom call because you had to unplug it and drag part of it along, but other than that it was fine.
