Is there any other thing to do other than ICING to do to get the swelling down? Know its normal and not expecting a miracle BUT it is so getting in the way of my therapy and prevents me from doing exercises and bending.. any advice is appreciated .. thanksĀ

    Try KT tape, google KT tape for post TKR swelling and there are some youtube videos explaining how to apply it. I've started using it and it definitely helps reduce swelling you can see it working after 20 minutes
