[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1816742, member: 12607"] Had my right knee replaced in 2017... initial injury, playing high school football, back around 1973... with repeated blow-outs over the following decades, and one knee surgery in 1974 to remove torn cartilage and 'tighten up' joint capsule, etc. I didn't really have significant pain, but the joint was unstable, and radiographs indicated virtually no articular cartilage left. Wife had one of those cold-therapy deals that circulate ice water through a cuff, from her previous bunion surgery, so we bought the knee cuff, and I used that non-stop for the first couple of weeks. Helped with pain & swelling - and we bought the shoulder attachment and used it when I had both rotator cuffs re-built 6 & 12 months after the knee replacement. I strongly recommend the cold-therapy deal. Never really had any significant pain following the replacement, and it's stable... but it is not 'my' knee... and I guess, never will be. Squatting... no way. Kneeling... no issue for me, Range of motion still less than the other 'original' knee, and there's less sideways rotation, to boot - I have a hard time getting my water skis on! By all means, be religious about doing your PT. I had loss of skin sensation over a large area following my 1974 knee surgery, that took decades to resolve, but haven't really noticed the same following replacement, and no residual pain. [/QUOTE]
