I am going to have TK Revision in November 2. How has your recovery been compared to your TK Replacement? My TKR is due to Loose ligaments. Now because of favoring my knee replacement leg I have a Baker's cyst on my good knee which is causing much pain. What a bummer!

The biggest difference for me is the type of prosthesis he had to use. I had no viable tendons, muscles etc. from a injury so he had to use a hinged joint that goes a few inches into the femur and tibia. I had shin and thigh pain but nothing horrible. My gait is different but I'm adjusting now. So it depends on the prostheses. The recovery is a bit longer but whatever type you have the key for me has been get it moving! Day 3 post op I started working on sliding my foot towards my bottom in the hospital bed. I have full ROM at 6 weeks out. Good luck!!
