I had a change last week, which was 22 weeks post op for me. I had some pain and stiffness the week before, but then last week no pain and the swelling wasn’t as bad and I walked so much better. This week the stiffness started again but after several steps it improves.
Usually after exercise and grocery store my knee gets really stiff. I carry ice with me whenever I travel and strap it to my knee while I’m the car.
Also, my knee is more on the cooler side. So, I’m starting to have less swelling.

I’m glad to hear you’re improving. It gives me some hope. I’m 15 weeks out, & very depressed. My PT says my right TKR is “perfect” with excellent ROM, but it is very stiff & hurts to stand or walk, & so I limp. I also have pain in right SI joint. I also continue to have severe exhaustion, lightheadedness & nausea, which began within a week after TKR. All scans & labs are WNL, & my doctors don’t know what the problem is. This has been the worst experience of my life, unfortunately. I need to have a left TKR as well, but never will.
