Lol I'm at 3 weeks and I'm not walking and don't see that happening soon.. I keep hearing how ppl just get walking...but I had a torn meniscus as well so it will be the full 6 weeks plus...I fully get the frustration
Not lies as we speak its been just about a month , and all I have is slight pain especially when walking up steps, but other than that its a thousand times better than before . And no more pain meds
. Almost 4 months from surgery, 1st two weeks where the worst, then as the swelling decreased, my ROM increased.I started spinning at the gym 3 weeks out.Now i feel great, work out at the gym everyday and I am stronger than ever.So everones experience is different and I am surprised of the progress within the last few weeks.
I am 5 days post op from left medial partial replacement. I am 67 and in excellent shape. There is no way I could ride a stationary bicycle today and both my doctor and PT would be against it. While pain is reduced and I am off prescription pain meds since day 3, the swelling is inhibiting my flexion which is normal. Goal in week one is to get full extension and 90 degrees of flexion. I can walk short distances without crutches. I never used a walker. Good for him if his results were as he describes but, this is not the norm. Driving after 1 week when right knee was involved is irresponsible at best.
This video was so helpful. I am getting a partial knee replacement in 2 weeks and this patient's experience mirrors what I am hoping for in my recovery. Thank you for posting it.
Thank you for asking. I am doing very well. First few days as predicted were awful. Then the pain started to go away. I needed crutches for 1 day, cane for 3 and now walk without assistance. Some swelling when I walk too much. I drove yesterday with no issues. Back to work on Tuesday. I'm anxious to see how I am at the 6 week mark.
@@williampaxton871 Sounds like you are doing great. Thanks for the great info. Still worried about it but hearing how good you are, makes me feel better.
Most commenters seem to not notice that it was a partial not total knee replacement
Lies! It's 4 weeks for me and I still can't walk on my own and on pain meds
