knee replacement op?

Ladies who have had the knee op do you remember if in addition to the knee exercises whether you were meant to walk outside with crutches each day...I did with my hip but could be different with a knee, suey has a lot of bruising on the outside.

She should, increasing the distance each day. She may just make it to the garden gate when she first goes out but it does not matter, she is getting exercise.

It is important to keep moving but not to over do it. As Charleygirl says, start by going to the garden gate and just a little further each day.

I found it very easy with the crutches, much better than the walking frame, but when I went to physio they took my crutches off me and made me have a stick instead, Grrrrr!!
