I'm pretty sure you should have been advised to have pt. Check with your surgeon. You also should have had a visit at two weeks post-op with your surgeon. Did this come up?

Personally I find that physician unacceptable that you were not sent to physical therapy. By two weeks I was walking on my own no walker no cane. I owe that not only to my awesome surgeon who sent me to my therapist preop to strengthen my leg but for my excellent therapist. Of course I had to work hard too and still keep up regimen my therapist has provided. If you ask surgeon for pt referral and he doesn’t give you one go to your primary care and ask for one.
Find out from your insurance company if you need a referral
All therapists are not the same so if you do go check them out first.
Best of luck!

Your doctor should have given you a list of therapy places to go to. I was in therapy for 4 months and still have issues. You need to go to therapy!!

I had knee surgery 12 weeks ago, have been going to PT twice a week. I am very grateful for all the comments I have read as this really helps me dealing with this surgery. Had I known how painful this total knee surgery was going to be I would have done stem cells.
Check with your surgeon as PT is extremely important to get your function to normal.
Wishing you the best, it takes a long time to feel better
