I've had a half a dozen knee surgeries. Not got a joint replaces yet but put in a couple of hundred trips to physical therapy. What I learned from my first knee surgery and no one told me was to start flexing your quad muscle the minute you start coming around from the anesthesia. Any time your knee swells beyond a certain point your body starts attacking that muscle *neurological atrophy). Your knee will be all braced up but you have got to start using that muscle ASAP or you forget how. Took me almost a month to learn how to tighten it up again after the first surgery. If you can keep it working, even a little, it makes PT go a lot better. The other thing is dont be afraid to take as much pain med as you need early on. I tried to tough it out with morphine and percoset. It wasnt getting it. Finally, I admitted to the nurse how bad it was and they added oxycontin to the mix. I only needed it for a couple of weeks, but it made all the difference in getting better.
