Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yes, my knee felt hot for quite awhile. After three years it still sometimes feels warmer especially in the winter. This is because it is metal and metal holds heat longer. Don't worry about it, my replacement is great!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks, Kare! Makes sense...no more wondering here just, ugh, exercising! I worked with a lady, about 15 years ago, she had total knee replacement and said in wintertime she had to put a heating pad on her knee to thaw it out! LOL!!!
