Had a knee replacement nine months ago (January). When I kneel, i can feel the replacement and it hurts. Am I alone or is this normal?

Hi @chigirl, I think you might not be alone. I think the recommendation by the surgeons after a knee replacement is no more kneeling down. I don't do much kneeling but there are times when I need to so I bought some really good kneepads for outside and I also use them in the house if I have to kneel down. I've used them once since I had my right knee replaced in April and they did cushion the knee where I didn't feel too different than normal and it wasn't painful.

Have you thought about getting some kneepads?

I have had both knees replaced
I can kneel on one but not the other
Don't know why
