12 weeks post op TKR with hot knee!
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, Just a a quick question for all you post op TKR's. I am 14 weeks into this marathon of TKR recovery. Things are getting better..stairs are still a problem but than again the quads. are still not at 100%. Seems that in the late afternoon or whenever I have been really active all day, my TKR knee gets really warm to the touch. Swollen yes, red no, painful to the touch, no....almost like a gear that has been overworked. Any thoughts?

Pain / heat / swelling? Pushed the knee too far...period. Get a fitbit or pedometer. Find your pain point in steps. Back off and increase gradually.
