Have you thought about getting a seat for your shower? If you are at the point where you can get the knee wet, it might feel good just having the water run over the knee. I’m also a side sleeper and it took a while before I could sleep on my side after surgery (the opposite side from the hip that had surgery). The main reason was because of the scar tissue so be sure to do your exercises as much as possible. It is really surprising how just a little stretching everyday can help you recover faster.

I have an appointment with the doctor's OFFICE (not the esteemed dr. himself, he's so incredibly busy) and hopefully she., his assistant, will give me a good reason for the pain by my knee and hip. The OT suggested a shower seat but I don't think I need one. I can stand for a while. It was truly refreshing when I got out, I noticed a great improvement, but that quickly passed. The big thing for me is to get into the shower now. It shouldn't be too hard but I am so lazy, don't really know why, I think it's also anxiety and depression, reluctance to experience pain, since we moved and the condo is a mess and I have no real help to get it straightened up. I will work on doing the exercises.
