Mr Unnithan told me that 50% of a successful outcome after knee replacement surgery would be down to me. I concentrated on strengthening the leg before the operation with cycling and gym exercises.
After surgery, I worked hard every day with physio and at 2 weeks started to rock the peddles on a gym bike. Gradually increasing the range of movement and the strength of weights and gym bands. At 3 months I was able to walk over rough ground for at least 30 minutes. At 6 months I do not notice any problems or pain in the knee and enjoy yoga and Thai chi classes with greater strength than before surgery.
I also used an ice cuff to reduce pain and swelling from the first few days, it was a great help.
