I'm 3 weeks post op after total knee replacement. Progressing well, walking 20 minutes a day, ROM 95 ,doing exercises.

I still feel very tired but have started making meals, cups of tea etc.

Will it hurt my knee if I start bending over to load dishwasher, pick clothes up from floor etc.

Don't want to ruin all the good work so far!
