TKR Martial Arts and Knee Replacement
Because a total knee replacement is brutal, with the knee being cut, sawed, hammered and having a huge foreign body inserted into it. All that causes tissue damage. The knee swells and the swelling acts like a splint that prevents the bending. Get rid of the swelling and the knee will bend again.

TKR
Throughout the past 2 years my knee has felt at least 75% better than before the replacement, but not as good as I expected. Mr. Doctor just tells me to take Naproxen. In the past 6 months I have notice my knee buckeling 2 or 3 times a day. Never enough to cause me to fall, but definitely enough to cause me to reach out to grab something.

THR Six weeks since surgery and still can't do a straight leg lift.
Just my humble opinion. Forget that darn straight leg lift! Are you able to do modified lifts....place a rolled pillow under your knee and then straightening the leg from that position. You use the same muscles without straining. With my first hip I listened to the PTs and forced a straight leg lift.

I had a pesky little limp for about five months post-op, but it went away. I was at 80%-85% at around six months, and I was at 90%-95% at eight months. Pain is a real issue.

THR weight training and body building after hip replacement …
I just started feeling comfortable using weights at the gym. I tried them earlier, but they made my hips burn for several days afterward. Instead, I walked, rode my bike, did easy yoga, and the basic PT exercises. I was also able to do some time on the Stairmaster and Elliptical. It's so important not to go back to the weights too soon.
