hi. I have had a total knee replacement done for nearly a year now and am doing really well but I notice when I've been to the gym or done quite a long walk my ankle of the same leg swells up and takes a while to go down. Has other people had the same problem. Thanks
HI Valerie
I had a PKR one year ago. When I walk too aggressively and/or am too aggressive at the gym with certain things(mind you all this is nothing compared to what I used to do so I have toned down alot, including no more running) my operated knee will swell at times or just has the sensation that I have done too much.
I just think , as much as I believe it shouldn't be this way, that we have to be careful with activities. I sure you are thinking that you went through all that and still having issues. I feel same way!
Anyway hope someone else will have other help/advice. Ice, Ice , Ice , still my best friend!
