Hi Coroline, how long post op were you before you started the gym. I'm having a hard start this time. This is my second TKA and I'm 13 days post op. My pain was a little difficult to get under control. It is better now. I'm just starting hospital to home exercise. I start Phsio next week. I'm defiantly shy of the pain so am procrastinating.

Have you always been that active. Or do you have an active surgeon. I tend to agree with Caroline. Three days a week and at home therapy should be enough.
Ultimately it should be our own decision with guidance from professionals. Physio has a saying. "Let Your Pain Be Your Guide!"
