I really do feel most of us try to be too active. I know weight bearing activities like walking can still cause me a lot of pain but I did get a compression stocking and it has been wonderful for keeping the inflammation down so I can walk farther now. HOWEVER I do think we need to be careful on what and how much exercise we do. My surgeon told me last month that it takes about a year to recover ( didn’t tell me that before the TKR)
I also go to aquafit which has been wonderful for strengthening my legs and improving circulation
I would probably agree that your foot pain is related to your TKR. There is so much nerve and tissue repair going on that referred pain to the foot only makes sense
