Thanks. That works great
Thanks Luke
Hi, I have followed you since I had my TKR 18 months ago, you have helped me so much with your advice, you are so on point with what you say! Thank you🙌🙏
What if you just had both done?
Really good video. I am one year post surgery and still have pain, atiffness, etc. This helped me not to be discouraged. I am 83 years old.
Good ideas. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I am four months out from a tnr and my hip pops with every step and my knee feels like a burning sensation often on the side. What are your thoughts on how long you should wait before having IT surgery?
Im having pain in testis , so i think its genitofemoral nerve . You think this exercises will help ?
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new routine. They can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend specific exercises or treatments tailored to your condition.
I'm having this pain since 10 Months, I went to neurologist they put me on different medications , then told me to get ultrasound of scrotum and the result came out normal , but still I'm having pain buring sensation in my right testis and both feets, then the urologist wasn't able to cure me , so I went to chiropractor and put me to therapist for back and legs , nothing helped, lot of money have gone , they couldn't do nothing , so while searching and searching these videos came up , so do you think it's those nerves only PLEASE REPLY and HELP Me
Question. Is the degree we’re talking about with help from your physical therapist pushing.? I am at 5 1/2 weeks and pushed to 120° yesterday. obviously much lower without a push ,or a pull device to help.
In general, the values discussed in this video are active range of motion, so able to achieve without manual assistance from the therapist. However, achieving these ranges of motion with passive assistance is often a very good starting point. It shows you have the available range of motion in the knee to accomplish 120 and now you can work to be able to achieve that motion without assistance.
@@KneeReplacementTherapists Thank you
My foot kind of stick out to the side as though I'm kicking and wobbles. My walk looks as though I have deformity. What can I do. Yes I've become sedentary

Glad it was helpful!
I really loved this it is the best nerve floss vid.. I just discovered I have femoral nerve pain instead of sciatica. So it's so amazing to find this!!
I'm glad to hear that the video was helpful for you!
My knee replacement sounds like Velcro. It is loud that other people can hear it.
It’s not uncommon for knee replacements to make sounds, especially if they’re new or if you’re moving in certain ways. If your knee replacement is making a noise like Velcro and it's loud enough for others to hear, it could be due to the materials of the implant or how it’s fitting.
Thanks
You're very welcome!

Thank you for watching and your feedback, best wishes to you!
My legs are in the X...had never problems as a professional volleball player with it but after i broke my tibia plateau doing surfing my patella started to track walking upstairs...creates lots of fear for me....with hard work i managed to get my ROM back and both muscles looks the some...now i need to get confidance with this little challenge to continue...any video on what to do if you have legs on X and could there be a connection with my patela? My phisio was very easy about it as my ortoped but i don't thing is normal....thank you!
It sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and it’s understandable to be concerned. It’s great that you’ve worked hard to regain your range of motion and muscle balance. Exercises that target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles can often help. Additionally, focusing on proper alignment and biomechanics during activities like climbing stairs can be beneficial. You might consider seeking a second opinion if you still have concerns. It’s important to address any issues that could impact your confidence and recovery. Wishing you the best!
@@KneeReplacementTherapists Thank you!
I m 5 maths after tkr. My knee is tight. Lying on bed, my feet feel tinkling. Pls advise
At 5 months post-TKR, some tightness and tingling can be normal, but it’s important to address these concerns. The tightness might be due to scar tissue or muscle stiffness, and the tingling could be related to nerve irritation or circulation issues. It’s crucial to keep up with your physical therapy exercises and consult your surgeon or physical therapist to ensure everything is progressing well and to get specific advice tailored to your situation.
Fucker, can't you demonstrate practically??? What a dumbass 😂
Thank you.
You're welcome!
My initial TKR didn't go well, I had 2 revisions. Now I am looking to strengthen my quads. What exercises can I do?
Sorry to hear about your TKR challenges. To strengthen your quads, you might try straight leg raises, quad sets, wall sits, step-ups, and seated leg presses. Start with low intensity and consult your physical therapist for technique and to progress.
Thanks for the tip. Others don’t mention supplementation.
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Good day, Mr. Luke. It's been 3 weeks since my lcl, all and acl reconstruction surgery. Is it normal for my knee/leg not to be able to bend much and struggle to straighten? Still very stiff
Good day! It’s quite common to experience stiffness and limited range of motion after LCL, ACL, and ALL reconstruction surgery. Your knee and leg will likely be stiff and difficult to bend or straighten in the initial weeks. This can be due to swelling, pain, and the body’s natural healing process. Hang in there-recovery can be a slow process, but with patience and consistent effort, you should see progress.
My mother suffers from the same problem. 8 months ago, she had a knee replacement surgery and is unable to bend it. There was a problem with the artificial joint, and now she had an operation a week ago after which she will not be able to bend it and does physical therapy.
I’m really sorry to hear about your mother’s struggles. It sounds like she’s been through a lot with her knee replacement and the recent surgery. I hope the physical therapy helps her regain some mobility and that she finds relief soon. Wishing her a smooth and speedy recovery!
@@KneeReplacementTherapists thanx
My TKR didn't go well, the MUA made it worse, painful and a fall risk. 6 mo later, I got a second opinion with a surgeon who did a detailed analysis....said he prefers to take out the original and replace it. Original is misaligned, arthrofibrosis set in, Baker's Cyst. Honestly, with the original TKR I had no idea of what was involved - definitely regret the original surgeon and the results.
I’m sorry to hear about your challenges with the initial TKR and the issues that followed. It’s tough when things don’t go as planned. It’s good that you sought a second opinion and are now working with a surgeon who can address the problems more thoroughly. Regret is a natural part of dealing with such situations, but hopefully, the new approach will lead to better results.
Why don't surgeons tell us all of this information! They spend maximum 15 min with patients. For the cost of a replacement, much more information needs to be provided.
I hear you! It's frustrating when there isn’t enough time to cover all the details. Many surgeons do provide essential information during appointments, but the limited time can mean only the basics are discussed. It’s important to be proactive and ask questions or seek additional resources if you need more information. Your health and understanding are important!
I had my total left knee replacement August 11 2023 I'm still swelling my foot and leg knee It doesn't matter I put my left leg up and still swells and if it's down still swells Why?
Same with me I wish I never had it done I am now an invalid
I’m sorry to hear about the ongoing swelling. It’s not uncommon to experience swelling after a total knee replacement, even several months post-surgery. Swelling can be influenced by various factors, including activity levels, fluid retention, and the body's natural healing process. To help manage the swelling, try to keep your leg elevated as much as possible, especially when resting. Applying ice can also reduce swelling and discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, it’s a good idea to consult your surgeon or healthcare provider to rule out any complications.
Sorry to hear you had this experience and are able to find the help and support you need.
This was helpful; i know people who don't understand what TKR is, i believe they think i should exercise like i did 30 yrs ago. No, not happening, still exercise, but it is modified. I had a TKR then a knee revision because i fell, all the more reason for me to be careful; that was 1 yr, 5 months ago. Had 1 yr checkup in March of this yr 👍👍. Thanks for all your wisdom on this subject 😊
I’m glad you found the information helpful! It’s true that post-TKR exercises need to be modified compared to what we did 30 years ago. Being cautious, especially after a revision and fall, is really important for your recovery. Great to hear you had your checkup and are staying on track. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks
You are welcome!
I can’t get rid of the tight knee and I’m 10 months post TKR
I get that too but I'd be more concerned if it were loose. Just see what this doc has to say about that
Sorry to hear about the tightness you're experiencing. It’s common to have some residual tightness after a total knee replacement. Try focusing on gentle stretching and strengthening exercises. If the tightness persists, consulting your surgeon or PT might be helpful.
This is a fair assessment. Tightness early on after surgery is common, although not ideal. Loosening is also a concern of a more serious issue of prosthetic failure.
12 days after post op I'm walking unassisted not taking pain meds. It's rough but I'm weeks ahead of schedule.
That's great! Keep up the good work and hope you continue to have a good recovery!
I'm mostly on my feet at work. CBD balm relieves my sore joints at the end of the day. #midnightcbd
Nice, that's great! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Thank you for this. I had knee replacement surgery a month and a half ago, and my knee hasn’t straightened out, even with therapy. I’m just now trying new things.
Hope you find this exercise helpful, best wishes to you!
Hi i am 6 mths post op. Thank you for yr video explaining all that we might experience at this stage. Just wondering why i have this ‘itching’ sensation 0n my inner knees when i stand for awhile. It is not often always but often. What causes such ‘itch’ and am i the only one?
The itching sensation you're feeling on your inner knees when standing for a while is actually quite common during the recovery process. It's often a result of nerve regeneration or changes in the healing tissues around the surgical site. You're definitely not alone in experiencing this-it's a common occurrence as your body continues to heal. If the itching becomes bothersome or if you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider just to ensure everything looks alright.
Thank you so much Dr Luke. 👏👏👏
Thanks for confirming in my mind what I suspected feel bone on bone pain after walking an hr each day now 12 weeks post TKR. I think still early days & it's to be expected after all drilling hammering sawing Orthopaedic Surgeon had to do 😊 Time persevering exercising pacing self hopeful future bright 🤞 very happy had done game changer for me as 0 else answer. Goal is to do marthon walking love it just need to get stronger. Thanks for videos appreciate advice.
You're on the right track! It's completely normal to experience bone pain and challenges with mobility in the early months post TKR. Your determination to keep exercising, pacing yourself, and staying positive is all important. Best wishes with your continued recovery!
What about having bent knees when sleeping on your side first few weeks post surgery? Isn’t that bad for extension?
This is a fair point. I usually recommend to patients try to sleep on the back with the leg mostly straight at least until you are able to achieve full knee extension (0 degrees), typically within the first few days to week. Once we know you have full extension range of motion we are less concerned about the extent of knee flexion when sleeping.
The bruises hurt the most.
Yes, the bruising can hurt a lot. Usually these clear up within the first few weeks after surgery. Best wishes with your rehab and recovery.
Good video info thanks. I have loved using heat bags after TKR (now 12 weeks post op) helps with pain aches if walked a lot been on feet standing too much found very relaxing comforting.
Yes, most people tolerate and like the heat. Best of luck with your continued recovery!
Great video at 4.50 where you use the strap while laid on your front, is it safe to do this on day 15 post op?
In most instances this should be safe and ok to perform at 15 days post op but never a bad idea to verify with your own healthcare providers.
i had a tkr three months ago keeping the PCL and the knee feels after three months like when I was twenty.I other works it is rock solid and i am running three miles on the treadwell with zero problems
That's great to hear! It sounds like you're making remarkable progress just three months after surgery. Being able to run three miles on the treadmill without any problems is a significant achievement. Here's to continued success in your recovery journey!
Thank you, was told about t cause of numbness below the knee but no a good explanation as yours about band of tightness around the knee. 4 weeks out of RTKR and a tad better.
Hi there, you are very welcome. Numbness and tightness around the knee can be quite common after TKR as your body adjusts to the changes from surgery. It's good to hear you're noticing some improvement, Take care!
My TKR done 6 months before .but still i have some sounds n pain in my knee .my age 65 years old .please reply Tiya 🎉🎉
Hi Tiya, I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing sounds and pain in your knee six months after TKR. It can be disheartening when recovery takes longer than expected. Have you discussed these symptoms with your surgeon or healthcare provider recently? It's important to keep them informed about any ongoing issues so they can assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance. Sometimes, additional physical therapy or imaging tests may be needed to understand what's causing the discomfort. In the meantime, gentle exercises recommended by your therapist and following any prescribed medication or pain management techniques can help. Take care!
Good video but you have got to stop the "up-speak". it's very annoying to listen to at the end of every sentence, especially in a video that is supposed to be on the professional side
👌👌👌
So it should just go away? I had a broken condyle in my left femur. They told me this was a possibility. But I have no idea what to do to alleviate it. I twist my hip to the right when walking, but I don’t know what to do.
First, I'm sorry you are dealing with this issue. Next I strongly recommend seeking the advice of your personal healthcare team including your doctor and physical therapist especially if you have a fracture as this will impact the course of your recovery and specific recommendations. Best wishes to you!
Hello and thank you for the videos and for taking comments. I am 10 weeks post TKR and my rehab has gone well (I have an excellent therapist) and yesterday was my last therapy session that insurance will cover. I reached 140 degrees on range of motion and my extension is 0. The problem or issue I am having is pain. I still have pain on the sides of my knee and along the incision, especially in the area at the top of the incision. I can also feel popping and it feels “rough” when I lift and lower my leg below the knee. There is also pain along the area of the incision whenever I do heal slides. The surgeon has literally spent 5 minutes with me before the surgery and hasn’t spent 1 second talking to me or examining my knee since. The PA came in the room for the 6 week follow up and looked at the incision and said it looks great, never touched my knee, and that was it. My therapist said to tell the surgeon and the earliest I can be seen was 3 weeks out. There is a “lump” to the right of the top of the incision and is inflamed, puffy, below that on the outside of the knee. I’m worried that there is a problem and it is going to get worse before I can be seen. And , there is no guarantee the surgeon will even lay a finger on my knee… yes, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the physician who did the surgery, incase you couldn’t tell. Thank you, Sammy
Hi Sammy, I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing post TKR. It sounds incredibly frustrating to not receive the thorough care and attention you deserve from your surgeon. Your concerns about pain, popping sensations, and the lump near your incision definitely warrant attention. It's good that your therapist suggested bringing these issues up to your surgeon. In the meantime, if the pain or any symptoms worsen, it might be worth contacting your surgeon's office again to see if they can offer any interim advice or move up your appointment. Hang in there, and I hope you get the answers and relief you're looking for soon. Take care!
i had my acl+meniscus surgery i have calf stiffness while bending knees. it's pains a lot. and there is sort of numbness in the calf. is this normal?
This definitely can be just a normal symptom during your recovery from surgery, but it may also be an indication a complication, mainly a DVT or blood clot. I recommend consulting with your personal healthcare providers and share this information with them. Better safe than sorry.
@@KneeReplacementTherapists but there is no swelling and redness. It triggered when i bend knee..
2 yr post op back of knee very painful with flexion. Can't bend to 120
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully this video offered some helpful advice. I would also recommend consulting with a physical therapist if you haven't recently for personalized assessment and recommendations.
Thank you! Very helpful
You are very welcome!
Just had an ortho follow up for my son's mpfl reconstruction and this was exactly the set of exercises recommended to us as we set up PT for the next few months. I'm excited to show him this video for the morning set of reps. Thanks for a great video!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and best wishes with his recovery!
How long till it is not painful to use after surgery?
I unfortunately can't give you a specific answer to this. For some people it is a couple weeks and for some it is a number of months. I hope you notice improvements and less pain soon.
