5 months post TKR: Stopped doing exercises and dealing with pain

@msstoppainnagginme : I think your knee pain is probably more from over-use, being on your feet so much. The knee exercises are mostly to regain muscle strength, and to attain as much flexibility as possible. The major progress usually happens within the first few months, even though slight improvements will continue for at least a year. As @saeternes posted, she is at the 6 month point and has slacked off with the specific knee exercises. I eased off around 7 months post surgery. If you ever have a day off, do you still have the same pain and swelling? That might give you a clue if it’s work, not enough knee exercises, or perhaps something different (scar tissue?) is developing.

@ellerbracke I'm sorry to say but u sent the msg to the wrong person. I'm having alot of discomfort from my left knee & trying to learn as much as I can from reading all & trying to find the right Surgeon in nyc. Currently not adviseable for me to get this trtmnt due to other health issue's. I'm so sorry about the underlines but I can't remove them my settings are hard for me to fix on my cellphone. I also will be keeping everyone posted when I start my knee replacement surgery. & I live on a 5th flr walk-up & can not afford to move currently.
I do believe the wonderful hard working Nurse/@marbowl is the person you should send msg to I just happened to be awake & saw her post. & I too agree that she should stay off her feet & try to rest more.
That's it 4now.
