Using moisturizer on knee

Hello,
I have had both knees replaced, 21 weeks out on the right side and 14 weeks on the left side. I have been using the lotion in the picture since I was 4 weeks out on both knees. I bought this lotion off of Amazon. It has helped me quite a bit. Hope this helps.

My TKR surgery was 14 months ago. I was told by my physical therapist to rub Vitamin E on my incision. I bought Vitamin E gelcaps and took a pin/needle and made a hole in the gelcap. Then I squeezed the liquid out onto my incision and rubbed it in. I then used regular body lotion on my leg, carefully avoiding the incision. It worked! I have a very light scar, that's it.

After a couple of weeks, my surgeon told me to use lotion and massage the area with it once or twice a day. He said that would reduce the scarring and decrease sensitivity on it. In the early postop period, I used Palmer's cocoa butter and vitamin E formula, as this was recommended to me by a surgeon colleague years ago. I have had several surgeries and used it on my incision sites/scars with good results. I have suggested it to other people who have had surgery and they likewise reported good results.

If you have a patient portal to contact the surgeon, you might send him a message and write what you described to us. He should have suggestions about how to take care your knee. Best of luck to you!

Blue-Emu has worked well for moisture and ache relief after my revision. It really is an amazing product. Also available on Amazon. Good luck✌🏻

I used Bio Oil when I had mine done and my scars are practically nonexistent. I never had any problem doing so.

I started using NOW brand oil of frankincense that is blended with jojoba oil. It helped a lot with tightness and burning nerve pain that I had. After reading more about several oils, many are anti inflammatories and the jojoba and frankincense are good for your skin.
