Hi I had knee replacement 6 days ago. Been managing pain fairly well except when I go from a lying position to try to stand. Once I start to lower my leg to floor i start to get extreme pain below knee on front of leg. If I can hold out and stand for 1-2 min I can start to walk and pain seems to subside. It feels like leg is going to explode. I have tried several different things but not much success don’t know what to do. Anyone had any similar issues

Yes l feel your pain with standing & moving your leg, time & self nurturing is essence. I'm post opp 8wks can stand for 7mins idle while ironing, my leg does manage ok for 20mins moving walking. I had beening going hydro pool x3 wkly but feels good while I'm exercising but pay for it later leg swells up pain heightens. Wkly massages to brake up scare tissue. My range of movement approx 93% very swollen, painful & stiff leg. Been off crutches wk 2, pain relief is Ostio Panadol & ice packs. I find self massaging regular moving & Physio exercises x3 daily help. But I'm staying postive & looking forward to full range of movement nil pain as we all want to achieve. Hopefully we can support each other in saying in due time, as we are all different. But biggest question l seek is a Computer navigatied knee replacement better than non- navigated, what's everyone's thoughts & feedback please.
