I'm a PT with about 16 years experience. I treat many folks post-op single or double knee replacement. You should get back to cycling without concern or restriction in 3-4 months (you can push it earlier, but most folks find that the resulting inflammation is not worth it). A couple of points, in response to some of the other responses you've received: Yes, folks do sometimes get both knees done at once. The early days of rehab can be pretty unpleasant as you haven't a non-surgical leg to stand on. That phase passes pretty quickly. I have seen the interesting outcomes in some folks who've had both replaced at the same time in which one knee turns out better than the other knee. No idea why this happens, but it does. As for the other folks in this thread with grumpy knees, one of the most important things you can do is keep your lateral hips and glutes strong. Exercises like resisted clamshells and prone hip extensions/abductions are key. Your knees will be happier. And for those of you who are bone-on-bone, you can forestall replacements if you keep the glutes and lateral hips good and strong.
Good luck! Have fun! lyle On Saturday, November 19, 2022 at 9:04:28 AM UTC-5 rsb...@msn.com wrote: > Anyone here had a knee replaced?
