Perpetual stiffness in right knee

[MoBookworm1957]

I have perpetual stiffness in new right knee.
What can I do to loosen it up.
I exercise, walk,ice, elevate that knee.
It seems to be stiffer than left new knee.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Exercises include squats,stretches, leg lifts, resistance bands, aerobics, yoga.
Doesn't seem to matter that knee is still stiff.

The Princess is convinced that Tae Kwondo and kung fu helps her knee.

She was also tuaght to lay on the edge of the bed with her knees hanging over the edge and just lay there.

Trying to help.

Did they put a grease fitting in? Might be low.

I know nothing about new knees mine are original.

Mo have you talked with your PT? They can give ideas that really help sometimes

Don't know whats causing your knee stiffness, but PT told me when my knee went out big time to lay on back straighten out legs, push knee down into matress much as you can without pain.
Do it a few time a day.I just did it 5 days ago when my knee was starting to stiffin and about to go out again. Works great knee is fine today.

I got 2 new knees a year ago.
Remember.

There are days that mine get a little stiff. But , they're not painful.

I ride a recumbant bike 2-3 times a day for 10 minutes.
Walk outside 10 minutes when I can. Mostly to exercise my heart, but it keeps my knees healthy also.

I also put Theraworks on my knees when they tighten up.

Hope it gets better.

Will try this one after Thanksgiving.
I do yoga, but haven't done Tai Chi in a while.
Haven't done Tai Chi in 2.5 years.
Better get back to it.

They finally returned my call this morning.
They suggested Tai Chi, leg lifts laying flat on my back, rotate hips, slowly bring legs down.

Here is a suggestion for a recumbent bike. Put a wanted free ad on Craigslist.
I did that for my SIL when she needed a treadmill.
The ad said do you have a treadmill collecting that you use to hang clothes?
My SIL needs one to exercise because of a heart problem and she can't afford a new one.
I got 3 offers on the first day. I picked the best one and took it to her.
I have one that works perfectly sitting in my way in the garage that I would love to give away.
Mention you are a disabled Vet and I'm sure you will get several offers

Actually left knee popped, felt immensely better.
The right knee hasn't popped yet.

You should have opted for the bionic ones. No stiffness, just make funny noises when you run.

Got titanium knees, both of them.
Left knee pops, just not as bad as before surgery.

Mine are clicking a little when riding the bike.

My surgeon said that's normal.

Swimming in a nice heated pool would probably work. But you always end up exercising pretty much everything at once, which is good. But after a couple of hours I get really hungry, usually for hamburgers. And fries. And some more hamburgers.

There's an herb mix I've used for pain in ligaments, tendons, skin issues. I'll spare you the details but it is in my medicine kit should I ever need it. If you want details, anyone, let me know. Pain relievers don't always work and I do not have an endless supply of them. They don't grow on trees but some of my herbs are trees.

Please send it my way please.
I don't like how pain pills make me feel.

I was considering knee replacement till I started taking this collagen. I take one level scoop, provided in the tub, daily in my coffee. I use cream in that cup. Mom uses less and can't taste it in her coffee so she takes her coffee black. Dad saw how much it helped Mom so he started taking it. Several of my friends take it.
