7 days post-op total knee replacement. Foot is twice normal size and cant do PT or even ambulate with this (What feels like) 10 extra pounds of weight. It feels like I'm walking on a waterballoon. I am doing cold therapy and elevating the leg as I was told to do. Anyone experience this after knee replacement??

So glad I've see your post. I'm 4 days post op knee replacement, just came home yesterday. Leg was swollen yesterday but this morning my foot has blown up like a balloon. None of my shoes will fit so no short walks for me at moment. My legs feel like they are going to explode they are so tight and painful. I've done everything asked of me Ice, tights etc but just don't know how to do PT whilst like this.
