    This is a wonderful video Dr. Dave. Thank you! I feel like some of these exercises will help me more than anything. I have a Torn Meniscus and Hamstring Tendinopathy and Sciatica on the left side. I can't bend my knee well without pain - gonna try some of these exercises and I am very optimistic that these will help.

    I was scared to massage my leg after the knee replacement, but i decided to do it, i am great full that i did it, the swelling is gone and the bruises, the muscle pain is very mild, I massage my leg with Arnicare gel two or three times a day 😊l

    I had my knee done 6 months ago and still can't bend pass 90 and still have swelling. I'm still in therapy and my scar has keloid very badly and that's causing pain..still optimistic and have faith that it will get in time. My Dr said my knee was very junky or in other words very bad shape and condition. It will take me longer than normal to heal..so I have to be patient and keep moving my knee.

      Pre-operative status does tend to predict post-operative status. Keep working at it and staying optimistic. 👍

    I am 7 weeks post knee replacement t! Your tips here has got me to relax muscles that I couldn’t before so I could do my home exercises! I’ll be adding these to my daily stretches. I do have one problem that apparently no one knows what I am saying.. when I am trying to do bend warm up stretches to get more then 90° when sitting or laying down on table, I get a painful jolt towards the right/ back side, of my knee and I will feel it through the front. How do I get past that? I’m terrified it maybe scar tissue. Any suggestions? Have you done videos for back of the knee? Thank you for this wonderful video!

  • @ninyli1

    I had a meniscus root tear anchoring surgery to tibia 8 weeks ago. Now after 6 weeks of non-weight bearing and restriction to bend more than 90 degrees, I have been able finally to walk with both feet. I can bend 120-130 degrees with yoga belt and these exercises do really help. Walking downstairs is still little bit tricky. How long does is usually take to get the original mobility of the knee back?

    • @More4Life
      @More4Life  5 месяцев назад +4

      It typically takes 4-6 moths to fully recover from a meniscus root repair depending on your prior level of activity. Here's a video with tips to help with walking down stairs, but make sure to clear the exercises with your surgeon and/or physical therapist first: ruclips.net/video/94929GH6DkI/видео.html

    I fractured my patella 7 weeks ago, luckily no surgery needed to repair. Dr. removed me from my immobilizer. I have begun heal slides, but don’t feel I am making much progress. Can’t get into PT for 2 weeks. I can’t hang my legs over a chair or bed. I am disappointed I am not making progress. Occasionally I feel such sharp pain it takes my breath away and feel I did something to my patella and recovery. Are these symptoms common? I am curious when can someone with a total knee replacement start these? Thank you for the tips, next I feel I will need therapy for my emotions.

    • @More4Life
      @More4Life  5 месяцев назад +2

      People with total knee replacements usually start doing range of motion exercises the same day of their surgery. A patellar fracture is different. It takes bone 6-12 weeks to heal depending on the individual. You will be stiff after having your knee immobilized for 6+ weeks. It's normal to feel a little discomfort, but at 7 weeks it's still probably not a good idea to "push it" until you get in to PT to have some guidance. Good luck with your recovery!

    • @More4Life
      @More4Life  2 месяца назад +1

      If your progress has gone backwards, it's at least something worth alerting your surgeon about. It may or may not be a serious issue, but definitely worth mentioning.
