How many days after your TKR did you start your therapy? I'm 6 days post op and even though I can walk very well, I'm finding it very difficult.

Regarding therapy, I guess it depends what you include. I saw a physio for about ten mins a day while in hospital. Her aim was to get me on my feet, doing transfers to and from the loo etc, and learning three basic exercises. These were thigh tightening, straight leg raise and knee flex ion.
As soon as I could do these, I was discharged. My first proper physio session as such is next week ( 4 weeks post op), and I'm lucky in that the rule of thumb around here is six weeks.
i would love more physio and it seems very necessary to me.....but that's what we get. When do you expect to start?
