Message: [QUOTE="dibster, post: 3673861, member: 902"] 8 weeks post op right knee total replace. I’m a 71 year old male. Already had both hips done. Use the pain meds and do the PT every day. Every day. Get up and move a little more every day every hour or two (except at night). Ice as much as possible. Don’t know anyone who uses continuous motion machine. First week is toughest but everyone has different pain thresholds. It certainly was much better after 1-2 weeks. After 4 weeks I was walking a mile a day and now up to 3+. Told to keep doing the PT for the year and that after that muscles don’t improve beyond that. Keep it up. Spending no more than 30 minutes a day on PT plus walking and you will see best results.
