Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I hope my update will be encouraging for those of you who fear TKR surgery. I'm one day short of 10 weeks post-op and today I put on my hiking boots and walked around the park. It was a half mile at most but I had no pain or discomfort and I was ecstatic! At 4 weeks post-op, I despaired of ever regaining my strength but it does happen. It's hard to get perspective when you're tired and in pain.I feel that my recovery was greatly helped by my exercising before the surgery. For two months, I did the exercises you're prescribed to do after surgery. I alternated these with days of aquatics exercises. The better shape you're in, the easier it will be post surgery. in Colorado Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.
