I have an opportunity to get laser therapy to help my post-op recovery from left TKR on November 2, 2022.
I still have a lot of pain and swelling and was wondering if anyone has tried laser and what the results were?

Did your surgeon or care team recommend laser therapy to help with the pain and swelling?

You are not too far out of surgery … I am just over 4 months and I have tried many different things . Cold laser , graston tens unit, but the most relief and long lasting relief was from myofascial release or mfr…mfr helps a lot they do lymphatic drainage which helps swelling in your knee tremendously…..especially at the beginning for my first tkr I knew nothing about mfr but thank goodness for second surgery I had mfr in place …. I went twice a week for 30 minutes I had little to no swelling…. So good luck it gets better.
