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

I have 2 knee replacements. No breastroke after the knee stuff. The flutter or dolphin kick are done easily, no heavy kicking until it doesn't hurt. Of course I spent the last years of my swimming carreer as a marathon swimmer so never over did the kicking thing any ways.
