I had both of my knees replaced last year. I started PT within 5 days 3 times a week. Within a week I was on a bike. Each week my PT exercises increased always flaxing my knee. Maybe you should ask your Dr what he wanted PT to do for you. Scar tissue needs to be broken down. Maybe a sports medicine PT company you use.

Sounds like you did things the right way. Yes the post-op exercises stay pretty much the same - they are just made more challenging as ROM and extension improve.

Well done Thomas. I hope you are happy with your TKR. I had both knees replaced in 2022 at age 67 and did all the suggested/prescribed exercises and PT. No more pain. None.
