Thanks for Asking! My three month mark was last Monday the 27th....I have improved greatly. I am still taking Tylenol but the pain has changed from that deep penetrating pain to a more tolerable pain that feels more like the nerve endings are reconnecting.
I am walking much better....there is still a little LAG...for lack of a better word....the new knee does not respond quite like a natural knee...but i think with time that will come. I still have some swelling...especially if i have been on it a lot....but for the most part...i am doing great.
I am not to the place i am happy i had it done....but i can see that i probably will be within the next few months.
I asked a friend of mine the other....which was worse...your hip replacement or your knee replacement?...his response was the knee took much longer to recover from. i asked the dr the same question and his response was also the same.
I am doing well....and i so appreciated all the helpful responses I got from the folks here.
