Greetings @jordansnows and welcome to Connect. Are you getting ready for TKR surgery? This is a great place to learn from others who can share their personal experiences. I had my 2nd and last TKR last summer. This time I bought 2 Vive Health knee ice packs. That way I could always have one "on the ready". This one works like a knee brace so you can walk with it if necessary. And they will fit your budget.

Another thought to pass along. Here in our area we have churches and even banks who accept no longer needed recovery assist equipment. You don't have to pay for them or rent them.......just bring them back clean when you no longer need
them. And when you are back better than normal with your new knee, you can make a donation of a shower stool or
toilet riser so you can help others.

Would you be able to share the details of your TKR? Will it be Robotic? And in case it is coming up soon, please remember that the pre-surgery exercises are extremely important. They will reduce your recovery time considerably.

Is there anything else you need?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

5 weeks post op from second TKR and using icing machine 1-2 times a day I purchased from Amazon- polar products. It works well and totally worth the investment- a bit over $200. After first TKR I realized importance of icing to control swelling and facilitate Rehab. I expect to keep using for about 3 months on a regular basis as rehab progresses. It takes a up to a year to recover from TKR and Icing after strenuous activities helped.

Yes I used for my reverse total shoulder and total knee replacements ! You won’t use hardly any pain medication, in my experience. Look into buying one might be cheaper. They are called cryocuff cuff machines and you can get them for $200 or less get one that plugs in wall. Good luck
