I had a TKR on my right leg five days ago. Walked out of hospital same day with a walker. By the next evening was walking on my own. Today my range of motion was 110 degrees, I’ve been doing full rotations on the exercise bike for 2 days, and I have no pain except when doing PT. Tomorrow I will be driving, since I am only taking Tylenol for pain. Modern medicine is truly wonderful.
I had a TKR 2 weeks ago and was up an walking soon after I was awake in the recovery room. I walked around the ward with a walker, went up the small staircase they had in the ward. I now walk without the use of a walker or cane. I recommend everyone do the exercises before and after the surgery and take the medications as prescribed by the doctor. Remember “ Tough Times don’t last but Tough People Do” and You can do it !!!
Find it hard to believe just after two weeks your walking without any assistance from a cane, crutch, etc.. and are you walking normal as in you have no limp, your walking straight forward, going up and down stairs with no pain?
@@Gregory-sm9pf well I got scorched by my doctor for not using a cane but I didn’t for the longest time. I think doing the exercises daily well twice a day helped also. I am 7 months out from the operation and walking up to 2 1/2 miles with no problems. There is a little dull pain still but getting around a lot better. They say it takes up to a year to heal so time will time.
@@scotsmanofnewengland7713 I had TKR surgery on my left knee back in March and just had my right knee done last month, I can walk with no cane or crutch also but I can't walk straight and I limp, so I use my crutch to keep me walking and bending normally so as I'm healing I won't heal with a limp, that's why your doctor probably got upset with you, we definitely need to use some sort of a support so we heal correctly, best of luck with your recovery and yes, it's a year to a year and a half for a full recovery
I'm having knee replacement surgery very soon and I am so freaking out. I definitely do not want the needles in my back for anesthesia. I had a fail one with my last pregnancy and it took about six sticks to get it right. I thought I was gonna be paralyzed. The shots in your spine are a delicate process I'm my mind . Don't want them again.
4 hours! Wow! I had an ACL surgery in 1988. It took a year of physio but not before my leg was ready and healed. I have a 6 inch scar. It took a good 3 years before I could walk with no worries. Then I had a left ACL in 1999. I woke ok in my room and my leg was on a machine moving. From that surgery it took just a few months and j was back to work. Long scar. This is great to hear surgery in an ACL has advanced!
I had my right hip replaced in 2016 with a 2-day hospital stay. Off the walker in 9 days and the cane in 3 weeks. The right knee was done in July 2021 and the left one Nov. 21st, 2022, both outpatient. I had general anesthesia with a nerve block each time. I was up walking down the hall within an hour after waking up. Both times the nurse told me to slow down, LOL. I reached my goals of 120 degrees ROM and zero extension within 3 weeks post op on both knees. Yesterday I hiked over 9 miles on trails with elevation gains totaling 700 feet. No problems at all with the new bionics.
I had TKR a week ago. I was told I could stay overnight, but I chose to go up and down the stairs and prove I could leave within 8 or 9 hours (I struggled with waking up from anesthesia for 2 hours). I am happy I was able to come home the first night. I think my recovery was more at my pace. I need to start therapy today, but Im so happy I had this done.
I stayed 1 night in the hospital when I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. I was up and walking that day and attended 2 physical therapy sessions before being discharged. My thigh muscle was so sore, I'm not sure I could have handled the pain that night without the pain medications I was given while in the hospital.
Knee replacement is a wonderful help to many people. I had mine done 9 weeks ago and the surgery and rehab went smoothly. After that there is, depending on what adjustments were made ie., straightening the leg if it was getting bowed out, a period where your your soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, nerves, have to heal or adjust to a different placement. You may tighten up in the hamstrings or IT band which will cause some issues (inflammation in other capsules like the fibula)) when straightening and bending, when you are going down a set of stairs or when on the stationary bike. It is not a straight line of healing. Also you will be having lack of sleep . Be aware there are different hurdles that you will also go through and that is why it takes most a full year to heal. Try to pace yourself and stay positive looking at the day you are in and not ahead. Keeping your mind strong and positive determined to do the ROM and strengthening exercises at each point along the healing process is key. Dont over do it, your knee will definitely let you know and you may have to take a different route to settle it down. The videos created by physiotherapist that deal with TKR and the orthopedic surgeons were invaluable at each step of the journey. Thankful for my TKR.
I had mine done in Virginia in March they did it did not bother to tell me that they would not put me out that I would be awake during surgery.. I have had so much problems with this type of knee surgery. My first knee surgery five years ago was the old fashion way which I would choose today if I had it to do over, I still have knee pain, still healing.
I'm 70 and had my left knee replaced in August of 2020 with a night in the hospital. I had my right knee replaced in Jan of 2021 and was released to go home about 4 hours after my surgery. I understand that's because Medicare now only pays for out-patient knee replacements. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but it worked out ok for me. The less time you spend in the hospital, the less chance you have of getting MRSA or Covid.
Only in America is a person operated on and kicked out of the hospital the same day. Thank you insurance company and a pro-birth only attitude of many in the GOP. No one care about life about birth.
I had a right hip replacement in 2018. Went home the next day! I was so happy to get out that soon. Insurance company approved 2-3 days. New hip doing well, feels great. Doesn’t feel artificial at all. 😉
July 23rd I had bilateral knee replacement. I was out of the hospital at 11:00am the next day and today October 28th I am riding a stationary bike thirty minutes a day, walking normally with 130 degrees range of motion in both knees and almost pain free. Now, I am only waiting for enough range of motion to kick myself in the butt for not doing it sooner. Through the entire surgery and rehab the pain has been very manageable. I was on Oxi for 10 days, after that it was only Tylenol, today nothing.
@@sflspotter6638 I did not take any prescription pain killers if that is what you are asking. I was taking Aleve and or Tylenol regularly. I simply wasn't doing a lot of moving avoiding the pain. I am now walking a minimum of 10 miles a week, this week I had a 4 mile walk Saturday, 2 miles Sunday and 2 last night. All pain free.
@@peterraleigh9406 thanks for your timely response. Yeah I have a prescription for 800 mg ibuprofen and tramadol but I’ve only taken it maybe 6 times in 3 years. I just hit my goal age of 50 so now I’m going to get it done probably early 2022. Trying to hold off until this covid stuff slows down. I will have my right knee done first followed by the left one. Unfortunately I will have to be in hospital longer due to prior DVT from prior surgery. Glad to hear everything went well and your pain level was manageable. Just another question did you get robotic assisted as well? I’m assuming your almost back to what 90% by this time now?
@@sflspotter6638 Initially I followed my pain med and exercise schedule religiously. No more no less. I had my son bending my knees past the point that I couldn't but just to the point that I couldn't tolerate it any longer during the first week, I think it helped a lot. At the 10 day mark I was walking outside, first with a walker and within two days without. Stay active but not foolish. Get to PT as soon as possible. It seems like you are not doing much but it really helped me.
Love the clip and I'm having 2 done on the 19th September. Maybe 4 days in hospital and the 2 weeks at a re-had centre then several weeks with my brother before I drive 500 klms home.
I had my first knee replacement August 2022, on my left knee. I had my right knee replaced September 2023, and my left hip replaced February, 2024. My recovery on my hip was the hardest, because I have bursitis in my hips, and the surgery made the area angry. My therapy finally became productive with a steroid injection. My advice with any replacement surgery is do the therapy. Your recovery depends on it. Its the best way to get back up, and the quickest way back to normal.
All anterior knee replacements have you “up and walking in just four hours” with the assistance of a hospital physical therapist using a support band, and going about 5 or six steps in a given direction, then back into bed. Hip replacement is not the JiffyLube of surgical procedures. The actual recovery is replete with a lot of pain and bruising, regaining of flexibility and strength, and takes at least a month, more like three.
I had a left knee replacement 6 years ago and it took me 8 mos before I had no pain at all. I spent 6 wks in a rehab center to even bare weight on it. I had a wound vac on that helped wonderfully. I couldn't go home because I couldn't move by myself. I couldn't dress etc..and believe me I tried. I cried when they said I couldn't go home. Unless something has changed that Idk about I expect my right leg to be the same . If I'm wrong then so be it!
What happens you’re not as physically fit as the people in your videos due to not being able to walk, move or stand for years. Plus if there’s a small weight issue… what about them? Who’s going to bat for them???
Is this process of getting up with in hours of major surgery for the patients best interest or to make the surgical team look good? I’m all for quick recovery but not at the expense of the patients pain control or appropriate post op care. It allows the surgeons to have a faster turn over which pays well for them but I can’t help wondering if the patients are happy to be discharged so fast then have to cope with severe pain at home with no medical input ? I’m waiting for a total knee replacement and am worried I will be booted out so fast so the next person can be done whilst being in agony at home.
I'm in Canada and I had knee replacement surgery Sept 5th. The reason for getting up and walking so soon after surgery is because it helps with the healing process for one thing. When you're sent home, you usually are in the care of someone there. Here they won't even do the surgery if you don't have home care. Pain control is good. I'm pain sensitive. I'm a real baby when it comes to pain and with the meds they gave me I was good. I hardly have any pain now and it's only been barely 3 months since the surgery.

I had the procedure on Dec 11th 2019. It was done in the Netherlands,where I live. I had it done in a private clinch because the eating list can be rather long in an ordinary hospital. Your healthcare system is different from yours. The nationaal health insureance pas for that as well. I stages overnight and the next day they tought me how to climb the stairs up and down with a crutch. Then I was discharched. I had a most excrusionally pain,right after wraking up. They gave me oxicodon and paracetamol. That did t help. Dat and night pain! The fiets 6 weeks you can t sleep on you side. Only on your back. That was a horror. I am also suffering from backproblems with servere pain. The pain laster nearly a year. There were severe peins from al the small nerves that get severed surfing the op. When they start to heal you can get the most peculiar sensations. I had the feeling of having a lange burn in that place. Couldn t stand the feel of clothing on it,but it was the hart of winter. It was a horror!
I hade my total knee replacement,i stayed in the Hospital two days.Really glade i did they gave me all the pain meds and ice i deeded It was the best for me!!!
I had surgery on a Tuesday, went home on Thursday morning after PT, stairs and walking a considerable distance.Was driving on Saturday. No narcotics. On Saturday I drove to lunch at McD’s. Then to an art show at a local gallery. Then went home and took a nice nap. Same routine with the other knee, but needed another couple of days to drive. My surgeon is a God.....
Hi Maria, I am so happy to hear you are doing so well. Maria, my left knee is no longer weightbearing and I need a replacement. Since I have venous insuffiency, weak circulation, and leaky veins, on top of which my knee is in very bad shape, my doctors are against me having the surgery. Apparently, I need a doctor who has previously done very complex knee operations. Without the new knee, I will spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Maria, may I ask who did your surgery? I am researching to find a great surgeon. I live in NYC, and despite having all the great hospitals, I cannot find anyone to help me. Thank you for reading my post. I hope I did not upset you by reaching out to you. xoxo
@@Linda-mf8vm … thank you for reaching out…. I would share information, but have no idea who you are. Sometimes these things create “issues”… Are you on FB?
@@marianeill6234 I am on FB and my username is Linda Anders Lieber. If you feel confident, I would be so grateful to speak with you on that platform. I am a 62 year old woman hoping to find a miracle. Thanks Maria. xoxo
Don't worry the DEA, will make sure you stay in pain for a long time. Make sure you have a large bottle of aspirins ready, they don't want you to become a addict.
Talk with your surgeon about a plan for breakthrough pain. I called my surgeon and he allowed an increased dose of oxycodone. After 48 hours, the pain decreased and I continued to improve daily. Very happy with my knee replacement now. Better prepared if I ever need the other one done.
I had a total knee replacement almost two years ago. Was in the hospital almost three days. Was in excruciating pain. Had a walker for two weeks and on meds for six weeks. Pt for six weeks also. Still in pain and now need my other one done. UGH!!!
Doctors want you up and walking right after surgery so you don't have a blood clot for one. Second want you moving knee so you don't get scar tissue. Ice is the best pain relief.
My possible tkr would be because of a tibial plateau fracture that isn't healing well. My knees have never given me any trouble. I didn't realize you had to have home support. I am 80 and just moved to a very small village where I don't know anyone. I'm also having second thoughts about it because of the tremendous post op pain. I can't imagine going through that sort of discomfort again. The fracture pain was excruciating even causing me to black out.
Budgies Planet I know they want to discharge people from hospital i remember my mom 2005 she was in hospital in 10 day but my doctor told me i will be in maybe three days how painful is that. Which hospital you have to?
Can anyone send us more info on where this is possible after 4 knee Surgeries & infections we cant seem to find a new doctor to do it properly. Please help👏
My wife had her full knee replacement at 9am back on ward at 12 out walking with physio at 1.30 pm .The nex morning the consul ten came round at 10am and said she could go home

Sent you home because your insurance company doesn't pay for you to stay overnight, that's why they get you up and walking just to see that you can move and send you on your way, they (the hospital) makes it sound like their doing it to help you recover but it's because they know your insurance doesn't pay for you to stay overnight, it's ridiculous, these insurance companies don't give a damn about their policy holder's
I am 4 months post op with a TKR, first 3 months were hard but getting Much Much better, a long way to go but finely I can see the tunnel and there appears to be an end. 2:24
Had a total knee replacement last week on my left knee and the block they gave me did not work. Woke up screaming and pain like a baby was in the most horrible pain of my life. Nothing helped unfortunately for me the block that was supposed to keep me numbfor many hours after surgery did not even work on me😢
I was up and walking with a walker just hours after my surgery. Only problem was, I ended up back in the hospital a few weeks later with a bad cellulitis infection and I was in for a month! What a mess my leg was. That was this last Sept 5th I had the surgery. Got out of the hospital from the infection early Nov. Leg ok now. Still some swelling and a little pain now and again but nothing I can't handle. I'm doing 4 miles on my exercise bike. Can't wait till I'm back up to the 15 I was doing.

The reason they have you up and walking right out the door in the US is because Medicare doesn’t pay for unnecessary treatment , in most places it takes between two to five days before you go home, I was in so much pain I was in hospital four days before they got on top of the pain
Up & walking after four hours??? Yeh, right. Four grim nights in hospital with loads of morphine (horrible stuff), up & walking with crutches after four weeks in my case, terrible pain, still limping after two months, & living on pain killers. In the meantime, I have lost all fitness, & arthritis taking over my joints as my exercise is limited. I'll reserve judgement until +6 months at least.
@@dahuffy Thank you for your kind comment. Here I am six months later, my operated knee still worse than before the op, and my other knee giving pain as I have to use that side more. It is what it is unfortunately..

I had a hip replacement under General anesthesia as an outpatient and went home that afternoon. There is no reason not to give general anesthesia. I don’t know what kind of experiment this is.
How R U doing? I will probably need TKR, as I injured my knee 3 mos. ago and have a meniscus root tear & a stress fracture & bone edema. I also have full- thickness cartilage loss. 5yrs. ago I had THR and I refused a spinal block and had general anesthesia instead. I already told my new ortho I would refuse it again. Now my ortho says I'm not a candidate for root repair surgery and have modified activity for 4-6 wks. to heal the fracture. So painful. For my THR I was in the hospital 1 nite, and went to rehab for 16 days My hip is great now.
Medicare in the United States requires at least a one night stay in the hospital for any joint replacement. Medicare doesn't pay for anything unnecessary. There must be a reason for not discharging patients the same day.

Every patient is different. Age, current health, previous issues with the joint all play a part. As well every surgeon is different . It’s important to follow ALL the instructions from your doctor. And also your physical therapist. I had an ankle replacement in 2017. Brand new surgeon fresh out of his fellowship. Newer type of ankle hardware. The procedure went perfectly. And I rehabbed without any issues in less time than they expected.
Medicare in den USA erfordert mindestens eine Übernachtung im Krankenhaus für einen Gelenkersatz. Medicare zahlt nichts Unnötiges. Es muss einen Grund geben, Patienten nicht am selben Tag zu entlassen.

You are one in a million…
I had a TKR 2 weeks ago and was up an walking soon after I was awake in the recovery room. I walked around the ward with a walker, went up the small staircase they had in the ward. I now walk without the use of a walker or cane. I recommend everyone do the exercises before and after the surgery and take the medications as prescribed by the doctor. Remember “ Tough Times don’t last but Tough People Do” and You can do it !!!

This is great to hear surgery in an ACL has advanced!
I had my right hip replaced in 2016 with a 2-day hospital stay. Off the walker in 9 days and the cane in 3 weeks. The right knee was done in July 2021 and the left one Nov. 21st, 2022, both outpatient. I had general anesthesia with a nerve block each time. I was up walking down the hall within an hour after waking up. Both times the nurse told me to slow down, LOL.

No problems at all with the new bionics.
You gave me hope!
I had TKR a week ago. I was told I could stay overnight, but I chose to go up and down the stairs and prove I could leave within 8 or 9 hours (I struggled with waking up from anesthesia for 2 hours). I am happy I was able to come home the first night. I think my recovery was more at my pace. I need to start therapy today, but Im so happy I had this done.
I'm having mine done on Aug. 9th. I'm hoping they let me stay overnight. Having mine done at the VA
@dahuffy I'll say a prayer for a quick recovery. Good luck with your new knee! I really love mine.
I stayed 1 night in the hospital when I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. I was up and walking that day and attended 2 physical therapy sessions before being discharged. My thigh muscle was so sore, I'm not sure I could have handled the pain that night without the pain medications I was given while in the hospital.
can you band your leg within one month?
Thank you for your reality check on this disgustingly deceptive video title.
Knee replacement is a wonderful help to many people. I had mine done 9 weeks ago and the surgery and rehab went smoothly. After that there is, depending on what adjustments were made ie., straightening the leg if it was getting bowed out, a period where your your soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, nerves, have to heal or adjust to a different placement. You may tighten up in the hamstrings or IT band which will cause some issues (inflammation in other capsules like the fibula)) when straightening and bending, when you are going down a set of stairs or when on the stationary bike. It is not a straight line of healing. Also you will be having lack of sleep . Be aware there are different hurdles that you will also go through and that is why it takes most a full year to heal. Try to pace yourself and stay positive looking at the day you are in and not ahead. Keeping your mind strong and positive determined to do the ROM and strengthening exercises at each point along the healing process is key. Dont over do it, your knee will definitely let you know and you may have to take a different route to settle it down. The videos created by physiotherapist that deal with TKR and the orthopedic surgeons were invaluable at each step of the journey. Thankful for my TKR.
I had mine done in Virginia in March they did it did not bother to tell me that they would not put me out that I would be awake during surgery.. I have had so much problems with this type of knee surgery. My first knee surgery five years ago was the old fashion way which I would choose today if I had it to do over, I still have knee pain, still healing.
I had ACL surgery 30 years ago and I now need a knee replacement . Ive had one Synvisc injection that lasted 6 months but surgery is eminent.
I'm 70 and had my left knee replaced in August of 2020 with a night in the hospital. I had my right knee replaced in Jan of 2021 and was released to go home about 4 hours after my surgery. I understand that's because Medicare now only pays for out-patient knee replacements. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but it worked out ok for me. The less time you spend in the hospital, the less chance you have of getting MRSA or Covid.
Only in America is a person operated on and kicked out of the hospital the same day. Thank you insurance company and a pro-birth only attitude of many in the GOP. No one care about life about birth.
That medicare really cares about their policy holder's,,, 4 hours and go home because we ain't paying ,,, unbelievable
I had a right hip replacement in 2018. Went home the next day! I was so happy to get out that soon. Insurance company approved 2-3 days. New hip doing well, feels great. Doesn’t feel artificial at all. 😉
Where did you do it?

July 23rd I had bilateral knee replacement. I was out of the hospital at 11:00am the next day and today October 28th I am riding a stationary bike thirty minutes a day, walking normally with 130 degrees range of motion in both knees and almost pain free. Now, I am only waiting for enough range of motion to kick myself in the butt for not doing it sooner.
Through the entire surgery and rehab the pain has been very manageable. I was on Oxi for 10 days, after that it was only Tylenol, today nothing.
Did you take any pain meds prior to your surgery? And if so how long were you on them?
@@sflspotter6638 I did not take any prescription pain killers if that is what you are asking. I was taking Aleve and or Tylenol regularly. I simply wasn't doing a lot of moving avoiding the pain. I am now walking a minimum of 10 miles a week, this week I had a 4 mile walk Saturday, 2 miles Sunday and 2 last night. All pain free.
@@peterraleigh9406 thanks for your timely response. Yeah I have a prescription for 800 mg ibuprofen and tramadol but I’ve only taken it maybe 6 times in 3 years. I just hit my goal age of 50 so now I’m going to get it done probably early 2022. Trying to hold off until this covid stuff slows down. I will have my right knee done first followed by the left one. Unfortunately I will have to be in hospital longer due to prior DVT from prior surgery. Glad to hear everything went well and your pain level was manageable. Just another question did you get robotic assisted as well? I’m assuming your almost back to what 90% by this time now?
@@sflspotter6638 Initially I followed my pain med and exercise schedule religiously. No more no less. I had my son bending my knees past the point that I couldn't but just to the point that I couldn't tolerate it any longer during the first week, I think it helped a lot. At the 10 day mark I was walking outside, first with a walker and within two days without. Stay active but not foolish. Get to PT as soon as possible. It seems like you are not doing much but it really helped me.
After surgery u feel something inside your knees? Like Mattel
Love the clip and I'm having 2 done on the 19th September. Maybe 4 days in hospital and the 2 weeks at a re-had centre then several weeks with my brother before I drive 500 klms home.
I had my first knee replacement August 2022, on my left knee. I had my right knee replaced September 2023, and my left hip replaced February, 2024. My recovery on my hip was the hardest, because I have bursitis in my hips, and the surgery made the area angry. My therapy finally became productive with a steroid injection. My advice with any replacement surgery is do the therapy. Your recovery depends on it. Its the best way to get back up, and the quickest way back to normal.
My knee replacements were outpatient like this....walking 4 hrs after surgery...thank you Dr DeBoer Nashville TN
You're able because you're jacked up on pain meds, 😅
All anterior knee replacements have you “up and walking in just four hours” with the assistance of a hospital physical therapist using a support band, and going about 5 or six steps in a given direction, then back into bed. Hip replacement is not the JiffyLube of surgical procedures. The actual recovery is replete with a lot of pain and bruising, regaining of flexibility and strength, and takes at least a month, more like three.
I had a left knee replacement 6 years ago and it took me 8 mos before I had no pain at all. I spent 6 wks in a rehab center to even bare weight on it. I had a wound vac on that helped wonderfully. I couldn't go home because I couldn't move by myself. I couldn't dress etc..and believe me I tried. I cried when they said I couldn't go home. Unless something has changed that Idk about I expect my right leg to be the same . If I'm wrong then so be it!
This is a very beneficial surgery.
What happens you’re not as physically fit as the people in your videos due to not being able to walk, move or stand for years. Plus if there’s a small weight issue… what about them? Who’s going to bat for them???
Right?
Is this process of getting up with in hours of major surgery for the patients best interest or to make the surgical team look good? I’m all for quick recovery but not at the expense of the patients pain control or appropriate post op care. It allows the surgeons to have a faster turn over which pays well for them but I can’t help wondering if the patients are happy to be discharged so fast then have to cope with severe pain at home with no medical input ? I’m waiting for a total knee replacement and am worried I will be booted out so fast so the next person can be done whilst being in agony at home.
I'm in Canada and I had knee replacement surgery Sept 5th. The reason for getting up and walking so soon after surgery is because it helps with the healing process for one thing. When you're sent home, you usually are in the care of someone there. Here they won't even do the surgery if you don't have home care. Pain control is good. I'm pain sensitive. I'm a real baby when it comes to pain and with the meds they gave me I was good. I hardly have any pain now and it's only been barely 3 months since the surgery.

NOTE! This was before my TKR operation in Stockholm, Sweden; hospital stay three nights (the weekend) it’s called post-op. Pretty young nurses looking after me, Foley catheter, IV Fentanyl later Oxycodone and Oxynorm. I needed it all because the PAIN was unbelievable.
Recently in Bangkok, Thailand where l’m a resident. Left knee same procedure: TKR. Operation Wednesday discharged Monday. Again, bone, muscle and nerve pain (8-9 pain score) I was pleased to spend the post-op weekend in the hospital. We live in a townhouse, bedroom upstairs. No lift, nor elevator. Should my wife (Logistics Manager) have to carry me to the bedroom? Or should I try hop with crutches or walker upstairs? Downstairs? Go ahead and try same day after op! How about the meals when wifey works!
Finally, post-op complications. I rather be on the Orthopedic ward than home sans any medical assistance. Think about it!
I strongly advice against same-day-TKR discharge! THREE DAYS MINIMUM - T R U S T M E !!!
I had the procedure on Dec 11th 2019. It was done in the Netherlands,where I live. I had it done in a private clinch because the eating list can be rather long in an ordinary hospital. Your healthcare system is different from yours. The nationaal health insureance pas for that as well. I stages overnight and the next day they tought me how to climb the stairs up and down with a crutch. Then I was discharched. I had a most excrusionally pain,right after wraking up. They gave me oxicodon and paracetamol. That did t help. Dat and night pain! The fiets 6 weeks you can t sleep on you side. Only on your back. That was a horror. I am also suffering from backproblems with servere pain. The pain laster nearly a year. There were severe peins from al the small nerves that get severed surfing the op. When they start to heal you can get the most peculiar sensations. I had the feeling of having a lange burn in that place. Couldn t stand the feel of clothing on it,but it was the hart of winter. It was a horror!
I hade my total knee replacement,i stayed in the Hospital two days.Really glade i did they gave me all the pain meds and ice i deeded It was the best for me!!!
The video title is misleading at best. See my post up above.
I had surgery on a Tuesday, went home on Thursday morning after PT, stairs and walking a considerable distance.Was driving on Saturday. No narcotics. On Saturday I drove to lunch at McD’s. Then to an art show at a local gallery. Then went home and took a nice nap. Same routine with the other knee, but needed another couple of days to drive. My surgeon is a God.....
Hi Maria, I am so happy to hear you are doing so well. Maria, my left knee is no longer weightbearing and I need a replacement. Since I have venous insuffiency, weak circulation, and leaky veins, on top of which my knee is in very bad shape, my doctors are against me having the surgery. Apparently, I need a doctor who has previously done very complex knee operations. Without the new knee, I will spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Maria, may I ask who did your surgery? I am researching to find a great surgeon. I live in NYC, and despite having all the great hospitals, I cannot find anyone to help me. Thank you for reading my post. I hope I did not upset you by reaching out to you. xoxo
@@Linda-mf8vm … thank you for reaching out…. I would share information, but have no idea who you are. Sometimes these things create “issues”… Are you on FB?
@@marianeill6234 I am on FB and my username is Linda Anders Lieber. If you feel confident, I would be so grateful to speak with you on that platform. I am a 62 year old woman hoping to find a miracle. Thanks Maria. xoxo
Did your doctor say you could drive just 4 days after surgery?
Who is your surgeon
I am too terrified to have this done, yet can barely walk.. fear of the low tolerence of pain
Don't worry the DEA, will make sure you stay in pain for a long time.
Make sure you have a large bottle of aspirins ready, they don't want you to become a addict.
Talk with your surgeon about a plan for breakthrough pain. I called my surgeon and he allowed an increased dose of oxycodone. After 48 hours, the pain decreased and I continued to improve daily. Very happy with my knee replacement now. Better prepared if I ever need the other one done.
God I needed so badly I told I need two knee surgeries I live in Florida can I get some more information on this please
I had a total knee replacement almost two years ago. Was in the hospital almost three days. Was in excruciating pain. Had a walker for two weeks and on meds for six weeks. Pt for six weeks also. Still in pain and now need my other one done. UGH!!!
WOW SORRY I GUESS EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERNT GOOD LUCK
I am a OT technician We perform eight to ten surgeries of total knee replacement on a daily basis
Doctors want you up and walking right after surgery so you don't have a blood clot for one. Second want you moving knee so you don't get scar tissue. Ice is the best pain relief.
What is the rate of infection with these operations?
Great video. Thank you
My possible tkr would be because of a tibial plateau fracture that isn't healing well. My knees have never given me any trouble. I didn't realize you had to have home support. I am 80 and just moved to a very small village where I don't know anyone. I'm also having second thoughts about it because of the tremendous post op pain. I can't imagine going through that sort of discomfort again. The fracture pain was excruciating even causing me to black out.
That was happened to me it was very painful 😐
Budgies Planet I know they want to discharge people from hospital i remember my mom 2005 she was in hospital in 10 day but my doctor told me i will be in maybe three days how painful is that. Which hospital you have to?
Had mine
Heading into get my L knee done in April (R knee was done in 2018)…. Crazy that it’s one day now!
Me too, on my right knee in April. Nervous!!!!
Can anyone send us more info on where this is possible after 4 knee Surgeries & infections we cant seem to find a new doctor to do it properly. Please help👏
How i wish to have this surgery i've been suffering for almost six yrs and cnt walk it's expensive and icnt afford
My wife had her full knee replacement at 9am back on ward at 12 out walking with physio at 1.30 pm .The nex morning the consul ten came round at 10am and said she could go home

Ya your up an walking fast but it takes months for the pain and swelling to go away!!! Not. That its a bad thing its just the way it is! Its a process
Travis Krause how many months the pain an swelling go away?I'm having surgery too 3 weeks after the surgery.then what did u do when it's very painful and uncomfortable?thank u and good bless
Lucila Baguio im 2 months after surgery and still having problems with pain and swelling just do your best with pt and pain killers becaause it took 6 months for the swelling and pain to go away last time!!!
Lucila Baguio plus stay as active and excercise as much as you can stand but dont over due that will cause you more problems with swelling and pain and make sure you take your pain pills exactly like you should!!!

I had my op 9weeks ago but my knee is still sore and stiff. I can't bend it
I had general anesthesia and they had me up walking in a couple of hours and sent home.
Sent you home because your insurance company doesn't pay for you to stay overnight, that's why they get you up and walking just to see that you can move and send you on your way, they (the hospital) makes it sound like their doing it to help you recover but it's because they know your insurance doesn't pay for you to stay overnight, it's ridiculous, these insurance companies don't give a damn about their policy holder's
I am 4 months post op with a TKR, first 3 months were hard but getting Much Much better, a long way to go but finely I can see the tunnel and there appears to be an end. 2:24
Amazing
Had a total knee replacement last week on my left knee and the block they gave me did not work. Woke up screaming and pain like a baby was in the most horrible pain of my life. Nothing helped unfortunately for me the block that was supposed to keep me numbfor many hours after surgery did not even work on me😢
My surgery on the 27th
I was up and walking with a walker just hours after my surgery. Only problem was, I ended up back in the hospital a few weeks later with a bad cellulitis infection and I was in for a month! What a mess my leg was. That was this last Sept 5th I had the surgery. Got out of the hospital from the infection early Nov. Leg ok now. Still some swelling and a little pain now and again but nothing I can't handle. I'm doing 4 miles on my exercise bike. Can't wait till I'm back up to the 15 I was doing.

The reason they have you up and walking right out the door in the US is because Medicare doesn’t pay for unnecessary treatment , in most places it takes between two to five days before you go home, I was in so much pain I was in hospital four days before they got on top of the pain
What is the big hot hurry to get somebody up immediately after surgery, let alone using light anesthesia
Damned insurance companies. Having mine done at the VA next month and hoping they let me stay over at least one night.
Up & walking after four hours??? Yeh, right. Four grim nights in hospital with loads of morphine (horrible stuff), up & walking with crutches after four weeks in my case, terrible pain, still limping after two months, & living on pain killers. In the meantime, I have lost all fitness, & arthritis taking over my joints as my exercise is limited. I'll reserve judgement until +6 months at least.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Hope things are better now.
@@dahuffy Thank you for your kind comment. Here I am six months later, my operated knee still worse than before the op, and my other knee giving pain as I have to use that side more. It is what it is unfortunately..

Within 2 months he was back to work .

Wait was the guy awake the whole time?? I'm being told when i have my TKR I'll be having a nerve block. Does this mean ill be awake during surgery?
It’s five days here I. Uk
I wish
Did either of you who commented need to lose weight before surgery? Just curious.
I had a hip replacement under General anesthesia as an outpatient and went home that afternoon. There is no reason not to give general anesthesia. I don’t know what kind of experiment this is.
How R U doing? I will probably need TKR, as I injured my knee 3 mos. ago and have a meniscus root tear & a stress fracture & bone edema. I also have full- thickness cartilage loss. 5yrs. ago I had THR and I refused a spinal block and had general anesthesia instead. I already told my new ortho I would refuse it again. Now my ortho says I'm not a candidate for root repair surgery and have modified activity for 4-6 wks. to heal the fracture. So painful. For my THR I was in the hospital 1 nite, and went to rehab for 16 days My hip is great now.
Dr how many years warrants
Medicare in the United States requires at least a one night stay in the hospital for any joint replacement. Medicare doesn't pay for anything unnecessary. There must be a reason for not discharging patients the same day.

Great
Hallo sir
Yes..up and walking but in pain for months…It’s horrid..
That is not “up and walking”.
Nice work but not possible in pak with out money
It’s a failed treatment as I am a enlightened patient of TKR.
IDK about that.....
I’m 12 and am having this ;n;
Wow
I’m just saying I think
Yes but you might never fully recover for a year if that
Every patient is different. Age, current health, previous issues with the joint all play a part. As well every surgeon is different
.
It’s important to follow ALL the instructions from your doctor. And also your physical therapist.
I had an ankle replacement in 2017. Brand new surgeon fresh out of his fellowship. Newer type of ankle hardware. The procedure went perfectly. And I rehabbed without any issues in less time than they expected.
You may be up and walking but you will be in pain, major pain needing opioids…..
Because most insurance doesn't pay to stay overnight, , 😅
