Hi @kizzie48, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. One thing I think we all learn from Connect that may also help you is that the more we know about our health conditions, the better we can advocate for ourselves and hopefully have a positive outcome for any future treatments. I'm about a year and half out from my right knee replacement and even though I did a lot of research and talked with my surgeon and care team before and after the replacement, I struggled some the first few weeks. I thought I should have been further along after 3 or 4 weeks that I was and found out in no uncertain terms from the surgeon on my follow up that I was not doing enough icing and elevating of the leg. I was doing all of the rehab exercises and thought I was elevating and icing enough until we had that conversation.

What is giving you the most trouble now with the left knee replacement?
