Amazing technology- comment knee for info
He had the 2 week post op TKR meeting with my orthopedic doctor on Wednesday afternoon. He took the bandage off and said “oh wow! This looks WAY better than I expected.” Then he asked me to hold my leg straight out. He said it was perfect. Then asked me to slide my foot back and bend my knee. He said “That is 90 degrees and you did it with swelling. You are 2 weeks ahead of schedule. You are my poster patient of TKR surgery!”
-no more crutches or walker
-no PT needed. He said I am past what that would do
-I can begin riding my stationery bike for 1 minute per day and add a minute as I feel would be beneficial (based upon post response)
-no bandage needed
-I can walk as much as want (based upon post response)
-I am free to drive again
I began the knee patching protocol the day after I got home from the hospital (aeon inside, glutathione outside, carnisone above). I already use X39 daily and start each morning with Cellergize.
Recovering from total knee replacement (TKR) surgery can be a challenging journey, but my experience has shown that following a personalized and proactive recovery plan makes a significant difference. At just two weeks post-op, I was already experiencing remarkable progress, surpassing typical expectations. One key strategy I found helpful was starting a knee patching protocol immediately after returning home from the hospital. This involved using integrative supplements such as aeon for internal support, glutathione topically to manage inflammation, and corticosteroids like carnisone applied above the knee area. Additionally, I maintained a routine with daily use of X39 patches and started each day with Cellergize to boost energy and facilitate tissue repair. Early mobility was critical to my recovery. My orthopedic doctor encouraged me to engage in gentle knee bending exercises, which helped regenerate joint flexibility. Although swelling was present, I already achieved a 90-degree bend by the two-week mark, indicating efficient rehabilitation. I was also able to discontinue crutches and walkers and resume walking freely, which bolstered my confidence. Incorporating low-impact cardiovascular activities like stationary biking helped maintain physical endurance without overstraining the joint. Starting with just a minute per day, I gradually increased my biking duration based on comfort and response, which proved beneficial in promoting circulation and preventing stiffness. Another valuable lesson was the importance of listening to my body and adapting recovery activities accordingly. Not pushing too hard prevented setbacks, while consistent engagement in recommended exercises supported steady progress. Overall, my experience highlights that modern approaches to TKR recovery—blending medical guidance, innovative supplement protocols, and practical mobility exercises—can accelerate healing and restore quality of life much sooner than anticipated. Sharing this journey underscores the value of personalized care and staying positive through each phase of rehabilitation.
