Relative in hospital nearly a week after TKR. Supposed to be 2 days in hospital, 2 days in rehab facility- all with PT of course being part of it and CPM/ Relative doing less, not more each day, states pain is too great, blood transfusions, diabetes, high BMI. What happens if patient doesn't actually walk much if at all after TKR ( I assume the CPM is still in action at this time).

I had TKR 3 years ago. Had to have blood transfusion.
I was not too bad at walking but found it difficult to bend the knee.
I was in hospital 9 days after TKR.
Not sure what you mean by CPM?
Let me know how our relative is doing.
It does get better.

I had the use of one at physio only, once a week, & it worked very well. Told to stop using it when they discovered the prosthesis was misaligned, as it could do further damage. Still on the waiting list for the revision.
