Has anyone had a total knee replacement? How did your PD react to the surgery? Worsened symptoms? Was the anesthesia/sedation safe for your PD?
Anasthetic went well. Came out of surgery pretty well-walking without assistance one day after surgery. It is 7 months latter now and 22 rehab appts to reach full extension of leg. That has not improved although they say you can make progress up to a year. Also still have pain and stiffness in operated on leg pretty regular. I don’t take carbo/Levo so maybe taking carbo/levo would lessen stiffness and help get more extension. I found out that it’s a major project that will take your full attention and lots of home exercise for a year or more. Don’t have both knees done the same time unless you are ready to spend time in a nursing/rehab center
