Post-op TKR: "Patella" pain?

I have gone to PT 2 times in 6 weeks. They don’t push it at Mayo if we can do it at home. I live on a hill and walk, I must have over worked things and made it angry. I need to remind myself we all heal at a different pace. Slow steady steps .

@daner54 My doctor doesn’t push it either, but if you want it he will prescribe it.

It does sound like you need to cut back a bit. The other thing my doctor likes is the recumbent bike. Knowing I have one he told me to do it for five consecutive days and then to take two days off for recovery. If you are doing your walking daily your leg probably doesn’t have enough time to recover.
