@l2consulting, I had a total replacement in 2006 and the PT was quite difficult and intense for me. I am curious about a partial knee replacement however. How is your is your range-of-motion, pain, and swelling?

@l2consulting It sounds to me as if you are doing all of the right things, and that you are doing great. If you are not in pain, why might you think you are pushing too hard? Your progress sounds excellent. Do they measure range of motion after a partial knee replacement as they do after a TKR? If so, how is yours now?

Hi @l2consulting - Welcome to Connect! I agree with the others that your progress sounds great. I had a TKR in January and I tranitioned from walking with a walker to a cane after one week and from a cane to unassisted after the 2nd week. I started doing outside walks as soon as I got on the cane and for a while, my therapist wanted me to take the cane when I went on walks whether I needed it or not - just in case I got tired or the terrain was rough. I'm not really familiar with partial knee replacements. Why did they not order physical therapy for you?
