walking with a limp

Posted , 16 users are following.

I would like to pick the brains of those of you who are further down the track than me. I am 6 weeks post tkr, I am managing without crutches indoors but still use 1 outdoors.I am walking with quite a pronounced limp, and I am having trouble bending my knee when walking (during excercise my bend is 90) any thoughts anyone ? How long is it likely to take to walk normally ?

    I went to physio yesterday and had a soft tissue massage which I have to do at home at least 3 times a day plus 3 x  stretching for straightening..my leg is stiff, sore and having trouble bending today so walking is a nightmare.  Maybe I am trying too hard and rushing things..9 weeks PO tomorrow.
