Kneeling After TKA

Posted by karenheller @karenheller, Jul 21 10:21am

Has anyone been able to kneel after TKA? I’m only nine months post-op so I haven’t tried to yet. If I knew I’d be able to kneel someday, I’d consider doing my other knee. If not, I won’t because I don’t think I could get up after falling if I couldn’t kneel on at least one knee.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

I must be fortunate as I’ve been kneeling without any problems. I kneel at church, in the garden but limit the time kneeling on a hard floor. Right TKR 11/21 & Left TKR 11/23.

I am able to kneel (both knees replaced) but it is more uncomfortable on hard surface. I look strange getting up from the floor but am able to do it.
