Total Knee Replacement: Nervous about the surgery

Hi @persia, Just thought I would share my experience on pre-surgery exercises for knee replacement. My Mayo surgeon suggested I do these exercises six weeks prior to my surgery and continue them as part of my rehab after the knee replacement. I believe they really helped with my recovery.

Thank you so much, my TKR is scheduled for December 1. and I am already doing exercises twice a day, same exercises Alina Health is showing, as well.
I am in currently in Naples over winter and getting slowly nervous. They take it very serious, beneath exercises they want you to take Vitamin C, Zinc, Prebiotics, 9 essential Minerals, Miralax ( 3 days prior), Gatorade, m( (day before),…
I had to take an education class about my surgery, after my Pre OP on Tuesday, another information and instruction hour with a nurse…
I feel very well cared.
