@lawanna85 I still have stiffness and numbness at 4 months out and continue to use an ice machine. I also have clicking/catching on the outer edge of the knee.

@irishtrish Thanks for commenting. Did you have a double or a single replacement? Does the ice machine help? I have been using a heating pad for the last 3 weeks or so. My PT told me at this point I should use heat on my knees, not ice. He said it was ok to use ice on my calves. I see my knee Dr. next week. I will discuss with him. I started sleeping on my side about 3 weeks ago. Everything I have read says it is ok after the first few weeks. I have not experienced any clicking yet. So many little kinks to work through. All in all I am glad I did it. But I am looking forward to the 6 month mark.
