First time I have ever posted... I am 5 weeks TKR I have 3 sets of exercises every day. The last few days after completing 2 sets my leg swells and becomes very stiff. I elevate, medicate, and rest should I complete the last set? thank you.

Your body is telling you to stop and rest. Exercises are essential But they have to be done sensibly. Do gentle ones ie stretching whilst lying on the bed. Rolling your ankle gentle leg bends. Start slow and gentle gradually build up by my 5th week bike excercise was for me on my static bike. Got the knee moving and exercised my whole body too. Remember gentle and listen to your body good luck you are at the start of a journey x
