today im four weeks out from my surgery. I also had extreme bruising all of my leg as well as you can see my left foot. I respect my doctor and know him very well. He is amazing and one of the best in southern Calif. Yes there are some doctors that i would not send my worse enemy too. Once you start going to physical therapy i do hope you will see a big difference. Yes I am still on a walker and still weak on my leg. remember this is a replacement for a TKA i had prior, so this is my 2nd knee replacement. I also told my doctor that prior to this TKA surgery I had flair ups & bouts of arthritis and I would take Celebrex for the pain. Celebrex works wonders for arthritis.
