Knee problems
Posted , 5 users are following.
I did something really stupid yesterday,, I am 6 1/2 weeks out of total knee replacement on right knee . and I was tired of sitting on my couch with my leg propped up so I sat normal on my couch ,,,( which is very deep ) I had my left leg folded under my right thigh and my right foot was not touching the floor , just sort of hanging there .. well when I got up I could barely bend it and the pain was almost unbearable ... still hurting today .. has anyone else experienced this and if so what can I do ?

What's most important is that you learned from the lesson.

Yep, sit in one position for any length of time & that will happen. It still does to me.
You haven't done any permanent damage, go back to propping up & keep on with the exercise, icing & elevation.
Take care.

Oooooh Rhonda!! Too soon, too soon! I do admire your almost yoga position though. Not to make light of this at all, I am sure you will have lots of advice to slow down over the next couple of days and let the leg return to where it was before. Then, well, it's start over again. Just a little setback from which you will have learned (just like me) not to try to hurry things along. Painkillers in the meantime and gently as you go. Here's hoping the pain does not last too long.
