After a long and painful Two Stage TKT Revision. My 5th time operated TKR leg now 3 centimeter shorter resulting in low back pain, right knee pain apart from the usual morning stiffness. Here my daily routine. Stretch and bend exercises before breakfast. Strict calorie control. ALMOST ALL TKR PATIENTS NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT! Think Gravity. Pressure on your implant, hip and spine! Now, here is mu daily exercise advice: SWIMMING minimum 10-20 laps and 10-20 laps pool walking. Less gravity, more wellbeing! And better sleep. Trust me! Bangkok-Johnny

    I can't swim, but do find walking in a swimming pool very helpful. I need to get back to this as soon as possible. Various things have got in the way, holidays etc. A few weeks ago, I did manage to walk 50 lengths more quickly than hitherto. I do find the stretch and bend exercises helpful. Weight not an issue in my case. Thank you so much for your input.
