I had total knee replacement on Nov 22nd. I was finally starting to feel an improvement in my conditioning before surgery but have not been able to swim since surgery. Thankfully the conditioning before surgery really helped me get off the walker and cane quickly. After 2 weeks I was walking free of devices.
I tried to swim today. The flutter kick is killing me. I hear the knee noise and there is lateral pain.
Has anyone on the boards had knee replacement surgery while they were swimming? What did you encounter?
Thanks
A teammate of mine has had both knees replaced and swims regularly in competition, even doing IMs. Email me and I will give you her address.
