knee replacement
I had my left knee totally replaced a few years ago due to arthritis. Best thing I ever did! I was at a point where I was constantly looking for the shortest distance to get anywhere, and stairs were not my friends. The total knee replacement was done in January and I started bowling again in April (the load bearing knee was replaced).
As others have said, following your PT instructions to the letter.
What works great for icing afterwords is a gallon baggie full of unpopped popcorn that's kept in the freezer. Use it after PT and then put it back in the freezer.
Oh, my surgeon told me several things not to do after everything heals up:
* No running
* No jumping
* No kneeling
My NBA career was over! LOL
