87 year old Mother had first knee replaced July 17. She is now at an inpatient hospital getting three hours of physical therapy a day. Knee still very swollen but she already walked up steps, walked 100 yards (with walker), participated in hospital bowling, putt-putt, etc. Knee pain is gone it's just the pain from the surgery... She comes home probably end of this week and will continue therapy three times a week.
Those knee lubrication shots: tried two different regimes of shots over a year while trying to avoid surgery. Neither did a thing. Wonder if those shots ever work for anyone?
