Distressed over revision knee replacement

Early days yet! Don't be so hard on yourself. I had total knee replacement 4 months ago,still using one crutch & going to see my GP on 29th for advice re more possible physio. I got depressed as I know somebody who said he drove within 6 weeks, I tried it the other night & my knee swelled up & pain was awful. Believe me you WILL get better, I had my exercises increased each time I saw hospital physio, I saw them 4 times after I left hospital & felt sessions were rather rushed although the physios were great. I also felt stressed by the fact I had to live with my sister, she has an adopted son with special needs & I felt it was too much for her which she denies. I came home after 10 weeks & she only agreed when to when I could finally manage my steep stairs but came round every day after taking my nephew to school!. Please don't expect too much too soon, I fell twice trying to rush things! My pain did ease & the horrible bruising on my leg which I was totally unprepared for eventually faded. The consultant told me every patient is different, after 6 months some feel better, some 12-18 months before they feel they have turned the corner, I hope this helps because although you cannot see it at the moment you improve but it takes TIME! Take care & remember there are lots of people on this site who can relate to your situation & can offer encouragement, they helped me cope with mine.
