    Hi bev

    As you said it's going to take time.

    after my op there was little or no swelling and I didn't need pain killers so I went out walking right from the off.

    The heel-toe the physios tell you to concentrate on isn't as easy as it sounds.

    Good luck and take your time

    Hi Finley, have you tried hydrotherapy?   I've found it really beneficial.   I'm 8 weeks post op now and virtually back to normal - don't kneel on it but it ok for everything else.

      No haven't but it's a thought thank you. Just I seem still to walk with a limp above the knee. With no pain as such regards Bev
