4. I just spent 5 days at my sister's house helping her out after her knee replacement.

So I’m interested in hearing all about everyone’s experiences! 🙂

She’s had two home PT visits so far and they said she’s doing great. This is her second knee surgery so she kind of knows what to expect.

Did anyone here have some pretty bad pain from a too tight tourniquet that was applied before surgery? She had an awful time with that. Much pain and bruising/swelling. They took the tourniquet off her the next morning after surgery and it’s been 5 days now and she said the pain just now has started to ease up.

Best of luck to everyone recovering from knee surgery!
