Hi good evening 4 months ago i was faced accident so my knee bone fracture so doctor plastered on my knee but now im using bicycle for 8 km morning and evening but a little problem im facing i do'nt set on my legs without support plz kindly tell me what i do?? Thanks

I am 5 weeks RTK post-op and up walking with my Rollator. I am able to straighten my knee, however my flexion is about 65-70 degrees. Doing home exercises and out patient PT. The swelling is still prominent. Elevating and icing but swelling still preventing from gaining flexion. Frustrated. But am moving along slowly but surely. Thanks for the video.

Great video and stretches!! I am 10 weeks PO TKR.

These exercises are very helpful, thank you. I have no problem with extension, but my biggest obstacle for flexion is intense pain, just below the crease of the knee on the outside, which I guess is the hamstring. There is a palpable knot there. Doing the heel slides is excruciating, but my physical therapist insists on continuing to do them. I feel that they’re actually causing damage and slowing my progress down. After being pretty successful with a cane, I had to go back to the walker after my second physical therapy session. Do you have any advice for dealing with this? I have already told the therapist that I’m not going to do any exercise that causes that much pain. People around me keep insisting that I have to go through that pain in order to regain my motion range. I was at 0-110 degrees when I started physical therapy, so I don’t have that far to go. I really don’t want to be subjected to this brutal therapy anymore. I did almost no exercises for those first two weeks and came out with a good range of motion. I’m tempted to just let it be and just use gentle work at home if anything, but the prevailing wisdom seems to be that that is not going to happen. my experience from past hamstring injuries, though, is that ice and rest are the keys. Not overexerting I don’t know what to do.

You have to lean a bit to get chest stimulation though. If you are upright, you will work mostly the triceps

My knee was stucked at 75° after 4 months and the doctor suggested me to use the JAS-EZ , it's a brace with a ratchet the resembles a medieval torture device, it's painful and so far getting close to 90°, I do all those exercises that you showed as well, but it's going to be hard

Excellent therapy video!!

I had my knee replacement 8 months ago. They told me it was a painful op, bloody hell he wasn't lying. Certainly made me sweat and swear a lot. My daughter stayed with me one night and then she had to work. Trying to do what the physio told me. I was good and did my exercises. It's better than it was but stil!.have pain in the right side of my right knee. I'm worried that pain is my fibro. I fell.on my knees last week, straight down on both of them. Bloody hell it hurt, I have bruises on both knees. My straight scar has now gone and my scar is veering to the left. The surgeon asked about my other knee. I said it's staying where it bloody is. Never again !!!!!!

You could have just said to use common sense and don't compare yourself to others. All the rest was blah,blah blah.

I'm also having problems sleeping after my knee replacement TY

Dr. Mike sure got skinny. These exercises must work

Is it ok to prop your foot up & not put pillow behind the knee??

Thank you very much im so in pain right now and im thinking to use the tape method but i dont know how long should i keep doing that 😢 can i use it for 3 days every week till i get better?or there is specific time ? I also noticed that every time i do my grocery the pain elevated 😢 im living alone so im trapped with this condition can you suggest anything? I also noticed that stirring the food while cocking is also a trigger for me i dont know what to do ? Its my dominant hand i feel im trapped

They never put me on pain medication the pain is crazy especially when trying to do rehab..i still need right knee done..

Less talk , more action would be nice.

I was told not to do squats with 2 bone on bone knees. That one exercise looks like a squat to me. Also, I was told non weight bearing exercises were best.

I am 2 weeks past surgery as of today. It hurts. Not too swollen, minimal bruising. I am worried about not being able to flex enough. I am about at 90 and can push further but with lots of pain. I left PT today in tears from forced flexion. Any advice or encouragement?

You talk too much

I am day 6 after partial KR surgery - I very actively trained for this surgery by doing a variety of exercises to flex and strengthen my knees. My flexion is 100+ and pain reasonable without narcotics. I keep the ice machine on the knee most of the time including to sleep. These exercises are spot on- pushing just past the pain point is key to progress. I am encouraged I will be playing pickleball in a couple months 😊

Very good advice. Thanks.

Thank you Dr Mike and the opportunity to waych you valuable videos.. I had my knee half knee replacement surgery 6.5 weeks ago.. can i do this now?

Also, if you do both knees at separate times, expect the situation to be different than each other. My worst knee did much better than my less bad knee, which is odd except for the fact I have more whole leg trouble with the latter than the former. I'm so glad I did the worst knee first because it made me more positive when I did the other knee. All my medical personnel advised me there will be a difference between the two knees, so I knew that was normal. Follow all of your instructions and when you can't tell your medical staff so they can help you with your challenges.

This is great information to give to people. I learned all of this from my at-home PT the first 2 weeks after both my knee surgeries. I have fibromyalgia and reactive arthritis, so the nerve block only lasted 8 hours and then I had to have an upgrade in pain meds and my at home PT taught me how to lessen the pain with certain movements. Being used to PT, I followed what she said as much as I could and told her where my weaknesses were so she could teach me how to mitigate those. She had me at almost full range by the end of her stint and my outpatient PT got me the rest of the way. Listen to your PT people, tell them your struggles, and follow what they say - it's the best way to advance at a normal to slightly better rate which will help you in the long run. I didn't do the exercises as much as I was supposed to because of my chronic issues but when I did them, I was faithful. I did a lot more exercises as I was stationary which kept everything limber.

My at home PT gave me an outline of how much to use walker, cane, and without. I followed it religiously.

I labeled alarms on each medication to take at what time every day and night. That was a real save because you need take the meds regularly and then know when to take them as you're tapering off pain meds. Had 2 knee replacements 7 months apart. Worked both times. My sister came to help assist me and coach me too.

What happens if you have metatarsalgia and can't raise up on your toes to do calf raises?

Great video but one thing that is really frustrating me is everyone keeps saying have a support system. I have to do this solo, meaning I do not have anyone who can come stay with me. The best I can do is plot out my medicine on a calendar and set alarms. Has anyone gone through this alone before? My first TKR is in 3 weeks. I am 57 but relatively healthy.

I’m counting down the days to my TKR procedure (in the UK), 13 days to go and I’ve been working on physio and activity levels to make this procedure a success. This is so informative and its reassuring to have your advice and guidance, Dr Mike, thanks a million!

Good video

Very good massage.thanks you

I’m 66 and have had a total ankle replacement and both shoulders replaced all with 20 months. Lessons learnt: 1) don’t come off pain killers too soon, you will regret it (sorry about the constipation) 2) Work at your recovery every day and then continue in the gym building muscle on what you’ve had done 3) Be confident, live your life- it’s what you had it done for! I’m on my 4th op next month, partial right knee replacement, then within next 12 months, the other knee then right hip. Bring it on!

Getting ready to have my second knee replacement. The refresher is a good one. Thank you.

Thank you for these videos. They are great. I am post op at 12 weeks and able to walk pretty well but took it slow like you suggested.

I healed mine for 6 months.. just hot compress and rest with a little bit exercise.. 6 months is long but in time it will head..

Thanks Dr. using your demo techniques as of today, Rick OKC OK

Great video, and I'll follow this advice. A cortisol shot resolved my elbow pain on the outside of my left elbow while playing golf. However, when hitting out of the sand, with the resistance there, I still feel a faint pain at the tip of the tendon. So I avoid hitting out of the sand, but would like to get back to it. How do I prepare the elbow for it? Thank you.

Awesome 👍👍

Excellent video Doctor,very informative.Thank you so much 🙏💜

Hi doctor Its beem 11 weeks of my medial fermur condyle fracture surgery ...pt is going on for 6 weeks . There is limping in my walk. Pls suggest some exercises to get rid of limping sir plsss😢

I got my surgery on Monday. Today is Saturday and I’ve done a lot of things wrong, but I couldn’t help some of the things. My caregivers were in Northwestern, North Carolina and couldn’t get to me because of the flooding and then my husband came down with a really bad back and leg and he couldn’t help that just said everything back For me I’ve been in a lot of pain today. I haven’t wanted to take the oxycodone because it was making me crazy but I had to take it today because I think I overdid my physical therapy yesterday and I was as well as not sleeping last night or the night before, but I did take a nice nap, this is brutal but I do appreciate his tips and I will continue using my walker and I’m glad I heard this because I wasn’t using it as much as I did a day or so ago God bless all of you!
