I am glad you are on the mend also. I went and dug a few pulltabs yesterday to try out the new knee, no pain in the joint, but knee was swollen a bit when I got home, so I put my ice pack on it for 15 minutes and it was fine. All my friends that have had the same surgery kept telling me that it was a different pain, but not in the joint! I now know what they mean, it is all the muscles and tendons around it that are tender, but the doc says that after 6 months or so, that pain will go away
. I am ready for the other knee, it will be replaced on June 11th. I will follow the same regimen that I followed with my right knee, so I will be able to eventually be able to kneel on them again. I am already back to 130 degrees bendability in the right knee, same as pre-op left knee. I went 20 years with no cartiledge in either knee, I have osteo-arthritis, plus 46 years of doing auto body and frame repairs. That is repairing wrecked cars and trucks........NGE
