Hi,
I will say last year before blowing out my knee and then before TKR in January, 2021, that along with being able to walk 3 miles a day or more every day, I was able to do 25 - 30 flights of stairs at least 4 days per week. Now i if I do even 15 flights of stairs per day, my feet explode after a while especially if I sit down an relax after dinner.
Thanks, hoping you are able to figure it out.
Avoid manipulation at all costs. Rest, Ice and Elevate. The reason I say to avoid MUA is your knee area has gone thru a major upheaval and doing a MUA is like adding insult to injury. I experienced a set back with PT when I was 2 months out and did rest, ice, elevate and ADL's and my ROM is good.
It sounds like you have a good Dr and good communication regarding your new knee. Good luck and take care. Post updates as things move along.
