I am 7 weeks post op on a total knee replacememnt. I am 6'0" 220lbs. I ride competitve bicycle time trials. I went into my surgery in about as good a condition as possible considering I wasn't able to stand up while riding up hills. All has gone well and I was told I was ahead of schedule. bending to 116 degrees and almost straight. My biggest problem has been controling the swelling. I have therapy 3 x a week and on off days I would continue the workouts on my own. However I pushed it hard 4 days ago and I just can't seem to get the pain/swelling down. Aside from that the swelling seems to be my biggest problem from day one. IS there a time frame for reducing it. I ice often. I do not have to return to work for another 7 weeks which is nice.View Thread
