Day 2 RTKR
Discharged today after RTKR. I had a spinal, no nerve block given but surgeon said he used some form of “long lasting gel” to help with the pain. Did a couple of walks on day 1 with some weight bearing, the exhaustion is definitely there as mentioned by other posts.
Day 2 walks were much more painful, almost no weight bearing was tolerable earlier in the day, it was better later on.
Running through all my PT exercises as directed. Question for the group, how much flexion is normal for day 2? I understand my knee just went through a lot but I can only seem to get a few inches on my heel slides before everything gets real tight.
