I’m 4 weeks out and still having significant pain. I’m glad I read the comments!
This must be the best recovery after 2 weeks I have ever seen. Really well done
I am 66 years old. I am 28 days out from knee replacement surgery and am experiencing A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN STILL. I work VERY HARD, DAILY with PT. For instance today I did 3 sessions on the RomTech bike at 14 minutes each session PLUS MY PT exercises and have recently graduated from a walker to a cane. Still swelling and needing ice packs. This woman’s recovery is in the minority I will bet you. My recovery is also in the minority as in how much I am struggling with pain and swelling I will bet. I think the doctor is setting people up for complete disappointment after upcoming surgeries. Everyone is different and THIS is not the norm!
I had the best surgeon in the country. First tkr was 6/1. Pain was uncontrollable with strong opiates. I was crazy enough to have another on 10/19 and I'm going through the same thing. Pain is off the charts. I'm 64. I go to my Dr appointments in a wheelchair
@@rosemarietosh4734 I am just curious what you think are strong opiates? I am not being a smart aleck, I truly would like to know. I am very knowledgeable on opiates, thinking of becoming an advocate for those who need pain relief and are not getting it. I’ve been to congressional briefings on Capitol Hill and listened to leading Dr.s and scientists express their concerns of patients not getting adequate pain relief. My blood pressure shot up to 170/110 for 8 plus hours UNTIL I received adequate pain relief. For me whose blood pressure runs 124/74 I was worried.
@Kat Piotrowski The pain doctor gave me hydromorphone but only 2 MG. I would take two at a time just to take the edge off. They stopped working after 2 weeks. Oxycontin and Norco don't help. I am now 6 weeks post op and finally feel some healing. I'm not in severe pain like I was. This just wears you out.
Three plus monthsTKR. Still painful. My surgeon said I am track. This video is false.
@@rosemarietosh4734 That's a rather low dose. I have haemophilia and osteoarthritis. When I have severely painful flare-ups, I'm offered 5mg * 4 of that drug every day.
LOL I’m four weeks out and still don’t .walk that well I called BS on that!
Maybe visit the Dr? 30 days of PT and I was climbing a ladder daily again with no pain. The hardest part of PT was in the first couple days. After that, I could begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Push yourself!
Everyone is different, I had my knee replacement surgery two weeks ago I am walking very well and going up and down steps. They had me walking as I woke up from surgery. Also doing therapy, going well. Hopefully your walking by now
2 total knee replacements 6 weeks PT 3 times a week and now am walking good and some pain at night but glad i got surgery ..!
Lol, it all depends on how bad your knee was prior to the surgery. I was in better shape an hour after I had it replaced than I was that morning!
2 weeks,I don't think so.
My wife and I have both had our 1 knee replaced and we both can call bull on her only 2 weeks after surgery as her scar is well healed as you would expect after 7 to 8 weeks but I’m betting that she is 12 weeks after surgery minimum. I know of no one that is without pain or still lot of swelling in the knee as it’s still just at healing state. It’s videos like this that make everyday surgeons look bad to their patients if they see this and are no where near what your showing here. Best to be truthful to ppl on the net. Not this nonsense. Thanks Gerry
Totally agree with you. I’ve had both knees replaced at separate time. Seems like rubbish to me! Totally gives a false impression of the recovery process.
@@kayh9793 Same here, both knees done 9 years apart. Last one worse for recovery. 16 weeks now and slow slow progress. Age is a big factor in recovery rate in my experience. Sore still, still struggle to walk down stairs un aided. I know time will heal, and the pain is getting less as the weeks go by. Also, the pain is nothing compared to pre-op. Anyone facing up to the Op, do your exercises before surgery, and definitely do exactly as the Physios tell you.
Your comment is so truth I don't believe her at all or the doctor they don't stitches out for weeks 15 day since my was done still have staples in leg the pt makes you cry I fell 30 feet to the ground breaking bone that fall was a piece of cake this knee is hell right now with lots of work
The therapist instructed me to continue using a walker at 2 weeks. It was 2 months before I felt good. I was driving after 5 weeks. Both knees done now. Took a year to feel really good. ❤😂.swelling was an issue with the second knee. O.k. now 15 months on. No pain . No issues. Thank You to my surgeon.
This kind f video does those of us who are still on crutches no good at all! I thought I was doing reasonably well until i saw this. i am not sure I believe it.
I also had a total knee replacement 2 weeks ago! I love my new knee but the PT is BRUTAL!!!! 😖😖😖
I'm glad she is good. The surgery almost killed me w the pain. I had to go to a nursing home for 3 weeks following the procedure, my right knee needs it now,but I haven't the nerve.. worst experience I've been through.
Totally agree. Would never have my other knee replaced. 8 weeks and can’t sleep it’s terrible pain constantly
@@juniefloyd1278 Nurses and Therapists know what Doctors do the best surgery , I would have consulted with them first.
I'm 21 days out and and struggled the first 2 weeks. I still have pain, but it is getting better. I am also 76 yrs old. When I talk to my friends, they had quicker recoveries, but they were also in their 50s. Age does matter in recovery. Those first 2 weeks I felt like I was going nowhere; the third week, I started over the hill. Don't get discouraged; just keep pushing on. I felt the same way as you do, Lynn. My Dr. told me he doesn't schedule a check-up until 6 weeks, because I was going to hate him until after 3-4 weeks.
I find this hard to believe. I am two weeks post op and am still in pain. It is getting better everyday. I still walk with a walker but notice I don't put as much weight on the handles. PT is brutal but necessary. I had my staples removed yesterday so my scar is very fresh. I am looking forward to the summer to be able to do the things I haven't been able to for a very long time. Good luck to you all.
I was no where near this 2 weeks on from both of my tkrs. Everyone’s experience is different and many still need a crutch weeks on. While this is uplifting for her it maybe demoralising for others not doing well as she supposedly is. DO NOT COMPARE YOUR OWN RECOVERY TO OTHERS - all will be different rates.
Outstanding I just had mine four days ago I can feel the difference off to rehab today in Washington State thank you for sharing this video💖
I’m 8 days since my TKR, & am no where near to being pain free. Watching this is fantastic for that lady if it’s real,but it’s also very depressing to us that feel we are struggling & are ‘behind recovery schedule ‘
At the moment, I’m asking myself what the hell have I done! 🙈
My doctor said you cant compare with others. Your recovery will be different.
Mikevdog I’m now about 11 / 12 weeks post op, & doing fantastic! 👌 totally agree with your doc.....everyone is different .
Good luck to everyone 🤞🤞
@@lynnrushton7458 Thanks for posting this update! I’m so scared I was about to cancel until I read your update today. Thank you 🙏🏽
@@MaggieG70 ah Margie, don’t cancel your op......it’s 8 months since my op now, & it’s the best thing I could have done. I’m doing so much more than I was able to before. Just make sure you do the physiotherapy, it’s tough, but so worth it.
Everyone recovers at different rates, so try not to compare yourself to others.
Good luck 🤞😁
At 7 weeks post op I am STILL with significant pain and stiffness clunking and some swelling. Worse than my pre op bone on bone pain. I still have hopes for a good result. I think this person is an extremely optimistic sample. I see many people in my knee therapy class and at my stage most still have stiffness and pain and are just starting to see real improvement. Of dozens in the class I see NOBODY like that. You have to ask why these videos are posted....this is BIG business.
Wow I’m glad I read these comments
No way is that 2 weeks.
Had my right knee replaced this past summer. Was walking unsupported three days after surgery.
Having my left knee replaced at the end of this month👍🏻
Unusual. Good for you 🙏
I have a very honest doctor who said: "Look, for the first week or so after surgery, you will be sorry you did this. You WILL be in a lot pain, probably worse than what you are experiencing right now, but with time it will recede. And it is possible that it will take a year-perhaps more-to fully recover." It's turning out he was correct. It IS painful surgery, but with time-and a lot of PT work-things improve. I am passing this along because we all hear wonderful stories leading us to believe this is a cakewalk, which it is not. Go in with your eyes wide open, plan for the long haul, and you will be alright. Despite the original pain and all the PT work, I would absolutely do it again.
Thanks for the video having surgery in a couple days very nervous
I had knee surgery when I was 24, that was well done, but I did not walk for a year like she does. Now, 50 years later we talk about replacement and I hear nothing, nothing but pain pain pain from other patients who went through with replacement surgery. What I watch is either fake, or a miracle!
I’m having my knee surgery next month with the pain I’m having now, I don’t care how brutal the PT is so long as I can walk as well as that lady
Good luck sending prayers
@@markbussey6152 Thank you Mark for your well wishes
Note she almost lost her balance in the turn. She seems to be doing well, but she is not done. Balance was an important thing to me.
@@barbaradavis393 yes I did notice her in turning around she still has more physiotherapy on that knee to do
@@markbussey6152 Hi Mark, thank you for your prayers, they work wonders ✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️
Aww bless your heart! I hope I do as good as you!
Sir after knee replacement Acl and Pcl ligaments are natural ligaments.
I.e.. Acl and Pcl are remove or not ?
Well she is very lucky. I’m 8 weeks since Revision knee replacement and I’m walking like Frankenstein
I am one week out of full knee replacement surgery and I am in so much pain, my doctor is not trying to up my pain meds, every time I tell them that my pain is not going down they just change my pain medication to something that is not stronger then the medication they gave me when I let,in one week they have change my medication 3 time” I started out with 10mg extended release and I was to take them every 12 hours, then When I complained about them they moved to so 5s every 4 hours, and they was not helping me at all, now that I told them to that they not working , so they put me on 5s with the acetaminophen 325. And take every 6 hours, they are not doing anything,, I am just in so-much pain right now , I m at a 10 almost 24 hours a day
I also don't believe her. I had my right knee replaced Nov. 16, 2020. My healing was pretty good. By the fourth day I was down to taking my pain meds once a day. Never had a problem with extension and flexing wasn't bad; but I still couldn't walk as well as this lady 2 weeks post Op. I just got my left knee replaced two weeks ago and this one is a lot more painful than the first one. I know I'll heal fine but it's just going to take a little more work.
We are all individuals who react and cope differently. From my experience in 2000 with bi-lateral TKR, a lot will depend on how long you had the problem and how badly. People also react to or feel pain differently.
I had 2 done and its 90 days of terrible pain and the first 30 are nothing short of brutal. Strong opiods are required for 3 months no question. After 3 months the pain pretty much subsides.
I've been down two years in August with my right knee.i had gt infection and had to have knee taken out antibiotic spacer put in did antibiotic for 5 weeks through an IV at a nursing home rehabilation.still haven't been able to walk.knee feels unstable pain up and down the leg.i have a drs appointment in Charlotte NC on May the 4th.im praying that they can help me cause I don't want to loose my leg.if you have any good advice please respond please.need all of it I can gt.
How long before the knee replacement must be redone?
Totally impressed with the patient. I go under the knife in five days. Your post helped give me peace of mind. Thank you.
I thought it be a walk the park it isn't you can't sleep at nights it hurt more and stiffens wore she is walking like that but not after 2 weeks don't be fooled by videos if you had your surgery let me how really feel like the rest of like shit and I am working hard at it
@@jerrynawroski9895 i had the nerve block and a milder sedative and i was basically pain free for 4 days after, then that wore off so i had the oxy for a week then tynlenol , i had my left one done in ‘19 before Covid and it wasnt so good. today im 2wks out and im walking good with a little swelling i think the trick is be in shape before you go in, i mountain biked up to the day before and quit alcohol and ate better/lighter and almost no sugar, now im going in for my first 2 wk check up and feel great
I’m walking unassisted at 12 days. It’s rare but does happen. I can step upstairs but not down. Sleep is difficult. Stiffness is ongoing. I’m now on day 16 and mobility is excellent and remains unassisted. I started home PT on day 3 - 3 times a day and in day 7 was able to do 4 times a day but only doing what my knee allows me to do per set and used an ice machine 1/2 hour after each session. I’m now up to 13 exercises, twice a day and hope to move that up to 3 times a day soon. I stay positive and am committed to PT. It’s been difficult but so far, worth it.
@@jackmcandle6955 This woman does not look like she fits your profile....
I’am almost 2 wks and the pain and muscle spasms are awful. I can walk with Walker but bending the knee is awful. God bless this person for feeling so well but it’s not the true case for all.
This coming Friday will be 2 weeks since I had my knee replacement I keep my walker handy but I walk around without it also. I my therapy 3 times a week plus at home I'm doing what I'm supposed to I'm sore after I do therapy but it's something that you have to do.
I 100% agree!
Pain was really bad for more than 2 weeks, now mostly just aching.
17 days post op. M
L 1:05 1:05 Walking without stick, climbing stairs. I only take 1. Ibuprofen mornings. I'm 76.of course it was tough but you have to push yourself. I walked one day post op with crutches. 3 days post op i was climbing stairs
No one feels that good after 2 weeks
Shirley Hill I’m at 38 days now. I was dismissed by my physical therapist today. I’ve been driving since day 14, off meds since day 12. I wasn’t quite where this lady was at 2 weeks, but I don’t have any doubt about what she’s saying. We are all different, and we all heal differently. I have to have my other knee done shortly, and I might have a different experience. The reason most surgeons won’t predict outcomes for this surgery is that there is such variation in healing from one patient to the next.
There is no way in two weeks she walks like that. I don’t believe it at all.
@@judithnagle5809 benar mr
I had my knee replaced 10 days ago and I can almost walk that well.
No way is that scar only 2 weeks old. Where are the staples? They don't take those out for at least a month
Amazing I have to have knee replacement surgery done June 25 2024
This very quick recovery is exceptional. I took morphine up until the sixth week, always before exercices.
You must be a junkie .
@@robertlosasso4222 You don’t have any knowledge of the dosage. You make a judgment based on nothing. I hate medication, I don’t drink and I don’t smoke either. When I suffered, I took the médication my doctor told me to
Awesome video! Giving me hope with upcoming surgery!
Hi Im getting my left knee done in April how did ur surgery go?
Good luck 😃
Which is more painful, knee or hip replacement?
Knee
Mine 10th day, seriously have issues. Encapacitating Pain severly Brutal. Now i m not blaming the Dr. I had legiment surgery May 9th, exactly 47 years to the day i had my knee replacement. Hell i was thinking piece of Cake. Has been a total NIGHTMARE, so far
Hello I am 12 days and still have pain but I am moving well with my walker. I am progressing. We all heal differently. Healing will come,believe.
Now your felling better mam
Has she had robotic knee surgery maybe as have heard this is quicker to recover from?
I had arthroplasty surgery done on both knees and this is not 2 weeks I still had pain even with therapy. Good luck make the right decision.
BS. I’m on my third week and undergoing therapy and still in a lot of pain. I have the same-sized scar as her but no way I could walk like that after two weeks.
I just had one today
WOW! Lucky! I at 9 days and still need my husband to get my knee out of bed…..I guess everyone is different, but maybe at 14 I will be doing as well I pray!
This is absolutely not true, I had robotics total knee replacement on Nov 16th and still in pain and can not walk without my walker.
Have to do lots of exercises to be able to bend to 96 degrees.
Miserable when getting up in the morning.
I am a 52 year old woman and still not able to walk like this older lady.
This video is setting up for a disappointment for most patients
You are right I am 63 14 days in staples still in leg and still swollen walking with walker can't sleep maybe get 2 hrs a day videos like should be not aloud
I’m going in 5 days. I’ve suffered for over 17 years with knee pain
How are you doing now?
@@hanko8357 I’m doing ok, it’s a mental and physical struggle every single day. For the first 3 weeks I regretted having the surgery. At this point I can safely say I will not be doing the other knee.
@@DbleP111 Sounds potentially excruciating based many replies here. Just had my hips done but I’m hoping to avoid knee surgery. Thank you for the update and best to your recovery, 🙏
@@hanko8357 thank you for your kind words, best wishes to you on your recovery from hip surgery. Ironically I’m more afraid of hip surgery than knee.
@@DbleP111 thank you. Well hopefully neither of us will need any more. Lol.
@Lucia…You must have went to a veterinarian because all of what you say is not true . I was 72 years old and the day I had my surgery, I was the eighth surgery my surgeon had done that day . Yeah it was a little painful for the first week but I took pain meds and after that I only took them sparingly like just before therapy . My scar from the surgery is only like a pencil line , I’ve seen some that look like it was done with a chainsaw.
Your so full of shit it's coming out your freaking ears
Lie, Lie, Lie…absurd! I’m six weeks out from my TKR and I still have pain and trouble and PT still going on. This is a painful long process… how dare they lie like this!
Wow!!
I had hip surgery 2x and knee surgery sounds potentially dreadful. Hip surgery on average is not bad at all comparatively.
Great! I think that’s the exception to the rule, though.
I'm headed under the knife tomorrow. I am a little nervous..
Hope it went well, I go next week!
@david…Where did you find that surgeon at Pep Boys . The replacement only takes just about one hour . I had my right knee done and went home the next day and started physical therapy, in three weeks I was going up and down stairs and driving myself to therapy . I only took some pain meds for two weeks. The pain was minimal .
I was doing wind sprints the next day after having bilateral knee surgery, only took St. Joseph's children's aspirin for pain, 😵💫
Maybe is that she went under a less invasive procedure. And the way they treated pain.
If I had it all over to do again I would have never got bilateral knee replacement they feel like I'm lifting weights they're heavy! They didn't tell me that!
2 weeks out still walker pain level still 11 24/7 leg still swollen nobody walks without a cane 2 weeks like that these videos give false hope and not reality
Amazing gait for 2 weeks!
2 weeks ????
Really ???
Its hard to believe its only been 2 wks for her tkr, judging by her scar, its been at least 6 wks.don't believe everything you see on the internet.
I met so many people and 2 years after surgery and need another surgery and still walk with cane So its fake she recovery so fast, not true .rhx
I'm proof that it is true. 76 years old. Walking without aids. Taking only 1ibuprofen mornings. I climb stairs , but that hurts. I push myself. I'm 17 days post op.
Absolutely BS and should never have listened to a doctor that was a good salesman to get people to have these operations.
6weeks post op. I feel fit again. Would I go through it again? YES
.
Maybe she just had a partial knee replacement?
I have had 2 knee replacements and was no where that good after two weeks. Neither is anyone else I know who has had one. This give a false impression to those going through it!
Your wrong, most people if they don’t have a physical job , go back to work in two weeks. You must have doctors that don’t know what they are doing , and physical therapists that don’t either .
@@robertlosasso4222 Rubbish! Takes weeks of recovery time. But you have your opinion and that is definitely NOT my experience, or anyone else I know for that matter!
I am 6weaks out and no dirfer t then before and this is my 3rd time
4 weeks still in pain
And I can just about walk like that
.
please I am two months and don't walk as freely as this lady. I am not sure she had what I have because I use my Kane and the side walk I use my walker because I still experience some pain, some stiffness, and some swelling I will say I have been experiencing improvement but she dosent walk like someone who recently experience total replacement because at two weeks the surgery is still fresh outside may look like it's yield up but the inside is a totally different thing
Very few people are this good at 2 wks. Do what your PHYSICAL therapy tells you, lots of ice, get up and walk a bit several times a day, everyone is different. Most people take 1+ year to recover. And if you have scar tissue, do the manipulation at 10 weeks.take
Two weeks out after total knee replacement. This is BS. The pain is unbearable. The docs don't want to prescribe anything that is too strong as the addicts have ruined the pain situation for the people who really need it. Second, I'm way younger than this woman and I was on a walker for two weeks, then a cane for about a month. Went to PT which was extremely helpful but painful. Sleeping was a challenge until about two months after surgery. Yes, I know, everyone heals differently. Blah blah. Doctors never tell their patients just how painful knee replacement surgery and recovery really is. Nobody would get it done. Just be honest, doctors out there. I still have pressure climbing stairs, and it will be five months since surgery. By the way, my surgery was handled by an excellent doctor at one of the best hospitals in Boston.
Exactly
I had TKR on my right knee
in NYC hospital for special surgery (the top hospital in this country) I had one of the top knee surgeons
I’m 58 in good shape (worked concrete construction)
Im 3 weeks out
Still in pain
I can walk with out help of walker but I still should be using a cane (sometimes I do)
Can’t sleep at night
PT is horrible
My surgeon referred me to a pain specialist. At least he understands my pain and works with me to make me comfortable.
@@rosemarietosh4734 I also had to see a pain management Dr. Still, it was a struggle to receive just adequate pain relief. I WILL NOT have my other knee done until I find a Dr. Who will help more with the pain. I am convinced that better pain management equals faster recovery time. I can only push through pain so much. It is insulting to me that I should be treated as someone who would abuse opioids and NOT GIVEN adequate pain relief at the beginning.
@@katpiotrowski8078 I totally get it. Doctors are afraid to prescribe opiates because of all the addicts. We just want some relief. Would they rather see us suffer? It's not fair.
Sounds just like my experience. I’d call the video totally BS
No way that knee surgery is 2 weeks out!!!
I had both knees done at age 57 on the same day.
There was pain for a little while but I worked at it and it came right.
At 68 now still a happy chappy they may wear out in a another 10years who's to say I will take as it comes.
I may wear out before the knees do.ha ha
I call bull shit I’m two week out from having it done and it’s 2022 there is no way maybe two years later and this is my 2nd time ..
good for her iam 1 week post surgery
wat een onzin, leuk verhaal, maar het kost veel meer tijd om pijnloos zo te lopen
This is BS. No pain two weeks post op is very rare, not the norm. Note: no confirmation not taking pain drugs. Again just unethical doc’s advertisement.
Km
This has got to be fake I don’t believe it
Blatant advertisment. No way is she 2 weeks post opp.
Knee .
Well..if u lived in Alabama u would of suffered for 2 weeks..
Total bull shit I’m 10 weeks and still struggle a bit
You didn’t have the right surgeon . Should have asked physical therapists who the right doctor is before, they know who he is because they take care of the patients he operated on .
Pain free bullshit
Totally rubbish
@K M M…You shouldn’t be on a walker now . Your therapist isn’t pushing you enough.
I didn't need a therapist, did it all on my own, matter of fact, I did my own surgery
I had mine done last Tuesday. Not even close... I smell sh*t, do you smell sh*t?
Bs
I throw the bullshit card on the two weeks after a tkr walking like that…that’s more like 8-12 weeks
Im17days post op and walking without any aids. I'm 76.iteland here. I had a great surgeon and very good physio.😊
