Knee pain when walking
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello everyone, I am 12 1/2 weeks out TKR. I am trying to walk about 2 miles several times a week. The 1st mile is good but just a little bit of discomfort but the closer I get to Two miles the pain gets a little worse. I am also experiencing on occasion my knee buckling. I just want to know if this is normal. The doctor says I am doing great. I don't have to go back for 6 months. My leg is straight in my band is good I'm just getting inpatient for this pain to go away.

I have never walked that far after either of my TKRs...My furthest is nearer to a mile.
As others have already said, it's important to strengthen the muscles. If you have a good bend and a straight leg then you are doing brilliantly. I've had a problem with straightening with both of my knees and have just had the second one reopened again.
