New knee is larger than the other, anyone else have this?

Hi Phil @dover1036, My knee was a little larger compared to my other one for a month or so following my TKR due to the swelling. When you say huge I'm thinking much bigger than normal and probably causing some discomfort. Are you still icing and elevating the knee/leg? Have you discussed the swelling with your surgeon or care team?

That is an old comment. I had total knee done in August of 2024. It's still bigger than the other knee but I've done well with it. Hardly even notice it.
Bend isn't the greatest but other than that great.
I'm embarrassed to say I never did ask the surgeon. He saw it so I assumed it was normal for it to be bigger.
In my case it wasn't any swelling.
