My question, has anyone ever tried ICE? I am wanting to give it a try, against Dr's orders of course. Seems like all the other knee patients in therapy use ice, I don't think it should be an issue with anything, except the Doc.

Anybody ever try?
I really think there is confusion somewhere. I had a TKR performed by Dr. Nguyen and in the beginning ice was absolutely recommended to reduce swelling. I remember a lady in the waiting room for her post op visit who couldn't move her leg, and I asked her if she iced it daily and she said no. From my experience, ice is very necessary. You should probably check back with Dr. Nguyens office.
