Hi. I had a TKR 14 weeks ago in August. I'm back working full time and using my cane periodically during the day for support. My leg still seems to need additional strength. I have stiffness in the AM hours but I take 2 extra strength tylenol if needed during the day, which helps this. I did 8 weeks of guided PT and the directed PT exercises faithfully at home everyday! My range of motion did not come easily (very painful)- but I have officially passed the required ROM to meet the Dr's standards! I feel great about having the surgery done and by all means there is still discomfort and stiffness but with exercise dedication and persistence- I think by 1 year I will be very happy I did it~! I will be 60 in the new year. Let's all keep moving along - fingers crossed
