Hi, The swelling can get so much better ! At 7 months post op from staged bilateral knee replacement. I have no further pain or swelling but some stiffness if I sit too long. The swelling takes time to decrease for some people, mine was not really noticeable at 3 months.

I have been using tubigrip for years. Pull it in and leave it . Ice over it. Really controls the swelling. Amazon or I get mine from pt. Works great 👍

I am 3 months in and still have stiffness, no matter what I do. Stretching, exercising or walking, stiffness is there. I don't sleep very much. Constantly icing down.
I keep praying 🙏 at night that I will get up the next morning and not have as much stiffness.
This recovery has been brutally challenging.
