Hi, I had TKR 5 days ago. On the whole this has been OK BUT 2 of the physio exercises are all but impossible for me. I can lie on bed with foot on ball and have a straight knee, I can bend the knee fairly easily to beyond 90 degrees, however the 2 exercises I really struggle with are the leg lift exercises The first is sit with ball between knees and lift both feet by straightening the legs and hold 5 seconds. The second is similar but lift just the operated leg in the same way. This causes me extreme pain in muscles of the thigh and buttock. Any ideas anyone. I am using ice as recommended.
