In reply to George Wright:
> I had a half left knee replacement seven days ago. Have been taking medication as directed, Went to gym Friday and Sunday ( upper body weight exercises only whilst sitting, but walking with sticks between machines). Had a bad night last night so removed compression socks and renewed dressing this morning. Want to make sure recovery is as quick as possible without doing any damage. Any advice would be welcome.
First 4 weeks are the worst, especially at night time. Take the full dosage of pain killers and take comfort in the fact it will improve week on week
Make sure you follow the exercise regime. I found daily use of an exercise bike helped mobility - set the seat high to avoid too acute a knee bend. Should be on the mend in next few weeks
Cheers
