Re: Knee replacement

Post Op use the meds given to you as advised above - you will need them.

Morphine can give you constipation so ring your GP if it happens to you (dont wait).

Post Op recovery - listen to the Physios and take the pain. I pushed it and still have the benefit after 10 years. A friend lay on the sofa and has struggled since.

Recovery can be 4-6 weeks but took me about 10 before i went back to work.

The only long term issue is knee bend wont be the same. Talk to your Physio but should be broadly:

End of week 1: the goal is to reach at least 90° of knee flexion and be working towards full knee extension. Weeks 2-3: the goal is to achieve at least 100° knee flexion and full knee extension. Weeks 4-6: you should be approaching or have already achieved 110-120° of full knee flexion.

Hopefully you will be back fit enough for our New York away game????????
