I have a question for those of you past the 13 weeks mark. When can we stop doing the leg/knee exercises that we did after coming home from hospital & physical therapy? I'm 13 weeks post op now and want to know if walking and biking are all I need to do now? I walk 30-45 minutes and ride the bike 30 minutes every day. Is that enough now?

Thanks!

      That's remarkable Debbie, and so much standing you must do, working in a school kitchen! Congrats on getting through two TKR's! T

      That's so impressive, Debbie. How do you think you'll cope with all that standing at work? Does your knee get stiff and tired at all now?
