      I had surgery about 2.5 weeks ago.
      Seated passive knee hang - Sitting at the edge of the bed. I have done the other exercises.
      Thanks for all the great tips, you're great!

    I had trouble trying to bend my knee to the point of tears during my sessions. The best advice my doctor gave me was to replace my chair with a rocking chair and gently rock whenever I was sitting. After a few weeks, the knee bending improved considerably and my replacement is 20 years old now and still functions very well. It is the no-tears method.

      Had knee replacement surgery 10 days ago….. That heal slide maneuver is an absolute killer, and where you plant your foot and scooch your butt forward isn’t much better. I’m doing good for extension, but getting bend is extremely painful.
      I was looking at my rocking chair earlier today and thinking that might be a good aid. Thanks for confirming my beliefs.
      Going to try using a towel/strap on the heal slides to see if they become more manageable.
      Thanks for the helpful hints/pointers

    I had TKR surgery yesterday and felt I was doing well. I managed to go up and down steps with a crutch, then did exercises. I managed a 70 degree bend but a few hours later I can hardly bend the knee and it's very painful. They say day 2 is when patients say 'what have I done?!' I've been given a cold wrap attached to a portable iced water box to bring down the swelling. I'm sure there will be ups and downs but It is worth the pain in the end. My mother had a new lease on life with her replacement when she was 80. She would march up a 1 in 6 hlll to her house, swim in the pool or sea 3 times a week and walked 3 miles a day. She's my inspiration to fight through the pain, remembering how bad my knees had become.

      6 wks out from surgery, Stay positive!. Don't believe everything you hear about how well people are recovering or have recovered..It's an individual process.The start of my recovery was a little bit slow,When I started group physio I found I was comparing myself against other people and thinking I was severely behind.After five sessions I am ahead of them in my rehab. People saying they were walking after a day is either very rare or BS!. The takeaway is Don't be hard on yourself ,stay positive, Don't put high expectations on yourself. Remember! any movement is better than no movement. Also I found the use of a thigh high compression stocking worn when sleeping really helped bring down the swelling, along with a Tens machine for muscle stimulation. I wish you well 👍

    My story. Operated on 6 wks ago, week one could'nt do much. on crutches .I was taking Palexia for pain, Endone and Tramadole just were'nt working. Week two.Still on crutches, Total leg swelling increased severely by mid week, had it checked out,and got a clean bill of health. Week 3, I had already stopped all narcotics and started to drive my car, I started my group physio, twice a week ,knee flexion was around 80 - 85 degrees. Week 4. Continued to drive car , I must stipulate, only when I really needed to, due to living alone, And only out of necessity. Physio twice a week and managed to ride stationary bike ,knee flexion 90- 95/100. Only using one crutch at this stage. At week 5, I had stopped using walking aids, Still doing physio twice a week, walking better unaided . I joined a gym so I can have use of leg press and stationery bike on off days to physio, Knee flexion has gone from 95 degrees to 110. I find cycling has helped a lot, along with the use of a thigh high compression stocking as well as using a tens machine to stimulate the quad and calf muscles.

I’m in physical therapy now and after four weeks I can get around the stationary bike 10 times with a lot of pain. my first partial replacement took me four months before I actually felt better.

      I had 2 weeks of home PT and then started outpatient PT…it was my third week in PT when the therapist was flexing my surgical knee and inducing so much pain to the point of being horrific and intolerable! After that session, my surgical knee became red and more swollen…it was 3 days before I could even hardly mobilize any at all with it. I called my surgeon and went in to see him, X-Rays were done and he examined my surgical knee/leg. X-Rays were fine, however my surgical knee was inflamed. Flexion to my surgical knee was 90 degrees+. He put me on a low dose of anti inflammatory med. I continued 2 more weeks of PT and after the 2nd week, same thing again where the therapist set the recumbent bike seat up too close where it caused hard pain to my surgical knee with each revolution. I’m sure it was unintentional but enough was enough for me, I quit PT, called my surgeon and his nurse said he was fine with that as long as I continued my therapy at home. I’ve been doing better on my own. I’m right at 3 months post op.

    I'd like to add the request that you not use background music or at least turn down the volume. Many of the people you're reaching are older people, many of whom may have hearing loss. Background music makes it much more difficult for hearing impaired people - even those with hearing aids - to understand speech.
    Aside from that, I appreciate the information you are relaying (but the music really gets in the way for me).

    I am 65 and had a total knee replacement on my left knee 11 weeks ago. I was discharged from hospital the next day because I was able to walk with the aid of a walker in spite of great pain. I did the PT right away and was brave enough to drive 2 days later with no problem although getting in and out the car is a very big problem. I could walk quite well without even a cane two weeks later. I was recovering everyday satisfactorily until the 5th week, the numbness on the outside of the knee and parts of the sole, swelling and the pain.... all remain the same thereafter. I can now bend my knee to around 105 degree, 115 degree with some effort and pain. I was told the goal is only 120 degree, not 145 degree like a normal knee. I can now walk reasonably normal although not too fast or for more than 20 minutes. The pain is tolerable with one pain killer. Although my doctor said I am doing very well, I know for a fact that some people will never completely recover. Two weeks ago I played some badminton and took it very easy. Still my knee would kill me for the next few days. I just hope that I could recover to 75 % within one year and forget about going back to the ball court or any demanding chores around the house.
    ps I lost 3 kg in a month and have regained half of it now. I do not drink but smoke almost a pack a day before and after the surgery. I have never changed my diet. I do not take any vitamin or supplements. I stopped going to PT appointment after 2 sessions. I do PT at home and the only equipment is an armchair.... You need a good leg in addition to a walker to support your recovery for a few weeks so try not to do both knees at the same time. I am glad I did not.

    Hi Dr Mike
    Just to give you an update on how helpful and effective your exercises truly are: my surgeon was super impressed with my knee flexion and straight leg at my 2 week post op check up, after one week of doing your exercises. I have since started the hospital physio exercises as well but find your key exercises in this video the best by far. Btw, I am finding that by doing the ankle pops at regular intervals throughout the day, my swelling is reduced, if I don’t, it gets worse. I also do the icing and resting legs above heart level, all of which you advise. Thanks again so much for sharing all your skill and knowledge in this video. It is very much appreciated.

    I declined physio after my knee replacement due to the aggressive behaviour of my physio.
    My knee was replaced on a Tuesday afternoon, I was discharged on the Wednesday with a recall to physiotherapist on the Friday some 60 hours later.
    When I saw the physio he put me in the knee slide position and told me I had to achieve 90 degrees. A 90 degree template was produced and my ankle was forced back to 90 degrees in a single rapid motion! The pain was tremendous, but more importantly that action caused the wound to burst directly over the patella. Consequently my clip removal was not undertaken until 3 1/2 weeks later as wound was still leaking.
    I am following your videos with great success and only a little discomfort. I can achieve over 100 degrees and can straighten the knee with no problem.
    As I write this my operation was 10 week’s ago without any physio intervention and was driving after18 days, walking without sticks achieved after 8 days, I am 72 years old. Most important is doing the exercises both before and after your surgery, a positive attitude helps!

I went to physio 2 weeks after my tkr and all they did was assess my ROM and show me exercises , i have heard of so many tkr patients getting their freshly new knee forced to bend within 1~5days post op with no informed consent, there are a lot of sadistic and or poorly trained pt’s out there!

    I am glad to be here and to see your video, Had Comformis TKR surgery 2.5 weeks ago. Was terribly sick for 1.5 weeks devoid of sleep & illness interferred with exercises I had hoped to do some days. I was stunned when you mentioned 2 week range of motion scores. Just this week my physical therapist said something close to: "I would like you to be at 120 or 121 range of motion by the end of the 2nd week but you've been ill so much of the time you have been here," My score had gone from 93 to 96 to 101. I left feeling that I had disappointed her not being at 120. So this perplexes me. Sorry if name icon comes up2x. Some sort of computer glitch.

    Hi Dr. Mike,
    I am a pretty active 60 year old nurse. I had a Total knee replacement on December 21, 2023. I am currently 5 weeks post- op. I’m so excited that I came upon your videos. I feel I’m making progress, and your knee bends with strap at the thigh has really helped with my knee slides. My cold knee bend is at 93 degrees, after PT I was at 99 degrees. I feel my therapist is putting negative feedback that I should be near 100-115. It’s definitely still painful during exercises, but only taking Tylenol. What are your thoughts for knee stiffness?
    Thanks,

Don’t be hard on yourself just because you can’t meet a specific milestone! Focus on the exercises daily and keep trying various exercises that you can tolerate! Knee stiffness at this point of the recovery is normal and will improve over time as the flexibility improves! Good luck I’ll be rooting for you!

    Had my left Hip done on 11/1/24. The surgeon prescribed the RomTech Portable connect pedal device, basically a smaller version of a recumbent bike that uses passive pedal motion.

    I've had 7 knee surgeries from just a cleanup to an acl replacement to a total knee replacement to a shattered femur right above my fake knee as my last one which was the toughest one to get the movement back. I finally got the movement back with all these plus I rode my Can Am Spyder with my right foot gradually being forced backwards onto the rear passenger pedal. Nothing real hard but just gradually a little at a time. The vibration and leaning back and forth riding the bike was the best thing I ever did for all of my surgeries, it helped that I loved riding the bike but the pain was so much less than PT was.I also bought bike pedal extenders that let me leghthen and shorten the pedal radius for my bicykle that allowed my to gradually shorten the pedal radius while riding my bike as I could not bend it far enuf to ride without this, if I could send pics believe me these 2 tricks were a godsend to get my leg back, without them we could never seem to make any progress past a certain point. I've had so much PT I almost feel like I could work at a PT clinic (7 knee surgeries-2 shoulder surgeries including a rotator cuff and later a total reverse replacement on the same shoulder and a fractured elbow that required a plate and screws and finally a back surgery which was the easiest of them all.

I pushed hard and managed to get ever thing back working great it just took a lot of time. Fast forward over the years I tore up both my knees more along with other parts of my body. In 2015 the same doctor removed all my hardware since it was starting to cause me a lot of pain. then in 2021 he finely replace the knee for good. So like you I have had 5 surgeries on my left knee then 2 more on my rt knee a full rotator cuff tear with surgery and another surgery on my rt elbow.

    When I had my knees replaced in 2019 I had the surgery five months apart…
    I had to do PT twice a day for twelve weeks…
    I guess the heel slide helped a lot on getting a 130 degree bend in my knee. I also got the zero extension so I met my goal as a 62 year old Woman. I had to work hard for it but my goal was accomplished.
    The hardest exercise was the side leg raise…. That was a bear to push through…

I did pre surgery exercises prior to the surgery faithfully. I have been going to physical therapy 3 days a week for 5 weeks now. I actually got 130° bend 5th week. I also was able to ride stationary bike 8 full minutes at week 4.
    3 weeks of high pain levels, but by the 4th week, it felt so much better almost overnight. However, sleep is still difficult. Icing it definitely helps more than I thought it would.

    Dr Mike first of all I would like to say thank you so much for making this video. I'm 57 years old and I am 9 days post up right knee complete replacement. The swelling is so bad that whenever I try to do any of these exercises I can only move a little bit. My question... How long do you think the swelling is going to last? Because I feel like if I didn't have all that swelling I would be able to move better. I'm working with and in-house PT for the next two weeks and then I'm looking to go to Helen Hayes rehabilitation near my home for outpatient but I'm so fearful that the new knee is going to form scar tissue because I'm unable to really have much range of motion due to the swelling. I will try some of these exercises, thank you so much...

Swelling after surgery varies from person to person and can last between 3-6 months depending on how much activity you’re doing. It is part of the normal healing process and by only being 9 days out you will likely see improvement in the next 3-4 weeks. Hang in there and take a look at my other video I made on how to manage swelling! I go over various techniques so that many people can find which method works best for them!

    I like these. I have 110-115 knee flex and almost 0 degree flat, if I work at it. (Still hurts tho, dang it). I never took any pain meds. I just can't see that being good. They had me doing the ankle pumps 15 minutes into the recovery room. Walking at 30 minutes with a walker, and home in two hours. My PT people must have watched your videos. But it is also very good to see them done from someone else. I need to practice the balance more but it is better than before the TKR. Just not as good as I would like yet.
    Swelling is almost gone but I should be elevating better. I'll keep watching these and your other videos. Great channel. Much appreciated Dr. Mike

My flexion is 100+ and pain reasonable without narcotics. I keep the ice machine on the knee most of the time including to sleep.

    @MaxMiniTV 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.

      Thanks for taking the time to watch this one! I really appreciate your comments and questions! If I were you I would still focus on your range of motion exercises and maybe explore other stretches that aren’t so painful. There are many different exercises to help with improve knee flexion. Also I would recommend exploring some soft tissue massage if you haven’t already done so. Addressing any tightness around the fascia and tissue can make a dramatic difference with pain and your range of motion. Here are a few videos below on my channel where I go over these items: ➡️ th-cam.com/video/Kc4acFuc_Fs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wI9uweOeNroM3TBT ➡️ th-cam.com/video/X1IKepSl0fw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=reUVD8GJrbVIh_NN

      Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! This might have been something you’ve already had but is now more noticeable now that you have more swelling in the leg. Or it might just be more fluid collecting behind the knee which is not uncommon. I would recommend continuing to manage the swelling with ice, elevation, and maybe even some compression and see how your knee responds. Hope that helps!

    This is great. Im 12 weeks from TKR, bilateral. My bend is max 100 at PT. I am continuing the exercise and PT. Os it too late for the bend to improce?

      Thanks for stopping by to watch and support the channel! Bilateral TKR is no easy task but I’ve seen many have successful outcomes! Although the first 6-12 weeks are the most important to regain flexibility you CAN still see progress with consistency of your exercises past the 12 week mark. Stay consistent with the therapy daily and focus on pushing your range of motion although to end range with each session! Wishing you the best!!

    First of all very excellent video the way you explained and exercises are really effective. It's been 3 months i had my femur fracture surgery with rod with my knee got dislocated, now my femur is ok but i can't bend my knee it's very tight and painful to do lost quad muscle too. My doubt is can i do same exercise with same intence or you suggest different?

      Thank you for your kind words and most importantly for watching! In regards to your femur fracture yes 👍 these can be great exercises to restore your knee flexibility! I also use these for all my patients that have fractured their hips because they have to go through a very similar rehab process! Thanks again and maybe in the future I’ll make a video on “Best Exercises After Hip Fractures!”

      Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment here!It really means a lot! Yes I do believe these exercises can benefit you because as physical therapists we are using very similar exercises like in this program when rehabilitating individuals with post ACL. Consistent stretching and working on your flexibility will be key!
