Knees
I had them done three months apart. That way I didn’t need all that blood work and x/rays done again. I was in the hospital for three and a half days with therapy at home for a while. I had no problem walking right away but there was some pain. I got along with Tylenol after I had been home a couple of days, I had been exercising my legs and biking for a couple of years so was in good condition, I also had a husband to help. We did go on a trip in our travel trailer less than six weeks after and I had no problem. After the second knee I told the physical therapist she didn’t have to come anymore as I knew the exercises and why charge Medicare for her just watching me? You do have to do the exercises after the surgery and I found it helped to take a pain med about 30 minutes before. I could bend my knee more with the pain med.
