kneeling
Posted , 20 users are following.
hello all, I am almost 8 weeks tkr and despite a slow start I have had a fairly smooth recovery so far, however I am totally unable to even attempt to kneel on my new knee,we heat our house with a wood burner which involves a fair bit of kneeling to set/clean and put fuel on.At the moment it is not a problem but come autumn time it will be. Do any of you have any advice? are you able to kneel down and if so how on earth do you get back to standing? the logistics of it defeat me !

You're not really supposed to knell on it (and I have never wanted to, to be honest). The only time I have ever had to was when I couldn't get out of a very wide hotel bath. You are at a very early stage, so I certainly wouldn't risk it at the moment.
I don't get down on the floor, to be honest.

sorry the answer doesn't help you, but it just shows how each surgeon thinks differently, even in the same hospital!

BUT, I did go to a private hospital (paid by NHS) so don't know if that makes a difference?!
