Knee Replacement Surgery - What you need to know before, during and after

Today I'm 1 month out from left knee replacement. The pain is much less and it isn't waking me up at night. Outpatient physical therapy is great. The first week after surgery I was so angry at the unrelenting pain. I called my surgeon and he increased my oxycodone temporarily from 10 to 15 mg every 4 hours. That carried me through the worst of it. Be sure you have a surgeon who will be available to your calls. I didn't know that his practice would not refill meds on weekends (!). Also make sure you have an elevated toilet seat. Didn't realize I would need one since I am fairly short, 5'3". Husband went and got me one with side bars and it made life so much easier.

I will be having a knee replacement surgery on Monday April 24 the watching this video helps me to get ready for my surgery Kim

I found the information in this video very helpful. I am into my 3rd week POS operation of a complete right knee replacement. I am on a lot of medication to reduce pain and blood thinner for blood clot. Staying positive,being patient ,safety conscious at all times to prevent falls ,twisting or jerking the injuried leg is of utmost importance.Doing the exercises each day is a must to ensure a good outcome for a good range of motion ,strength and stability. Once again Thank you for providing such an informative video.

My mother’s surgery is next month. The video and comments are very uplifting and informative ❤. Wishing all that went through this a speedy recovery ❤

I'm having a total knee replacement on April 8th. Your video has helped me so much. I wasn't aware of all the equipment I'd need. I'll be in touch with my doctor's office very soon.

I'm going in for my second knee next week. I won't lie, the pain the first few weeks can seem unendurable, but suddenly you'll notice it's diminishing and the exercises get easier.

Highly educational, comprehensive information. A must for anyone going for TKR.
