Exercise After Knee Replacement
I have knee issues and are in the process of working thorugh them with my doctor. I have has some arthroscopy already and are now working through the cortisone shots that are not helping and are probably looking toward patellar replacement or something. One of the best things i have found (we don't have a pool nearby) is to do the exercise bikes with NO resistance, the elliptical with NO resistance (try out the elliptical first though, I have tried a few types and some are better on my knees than others), or just walking on the treadmill slowly at first. As your knees start to heal you can slowly increase the resistance or walk faster, but those are a couple things I have found that don't make me come home in so much pain I can't bear it.
I also learned a tip from my PT about ellipticals and exercise bikes - you have to make sure they are centered. Some of the exercise bikes or ellipticals have the middle console in different places, and if it isn't centered to you while you are on it you will lean one way or another and it will just cause pain.
Finally, I also found a few exercise videos that I can do at home (walk your way fit) that don't put a lot of pressure on the knees either and you are walking on softer surfaces (carpet or whatever) which helps.
