Can you use if you had knee replacement surgery
1080591
I use it for pain relief for various joints with osteoarthritis, none with joint replacements, and it works well for me. PLEASE ask your physician if it is safe and appropriate for you to use - he/she will know what it is and is the ONLY person who can give you the correct advice for your personal situation. DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT COMPROMISE YOUR NEW KNEE!!!

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you.Cheryl Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure.

Also, forgot to mention, the pads last a long time. I am still using the pads from 2 years ago.

You can at your own pace. You need to move. ONLY you can know how far... BUT MOVE at your pace.

I did lose weight when I used this, but only because I cut down eatting. I used this mainly before and after knee surgery. I ortho recommended it. I continue to use it on a daily basis for care of my knees.

Any body know how this would work for someone who has had a knee surgery, compared to an actual transfer bench?

Would be safer renting a true knee scooter. Used a knee scooter with my joint replacement surgery and it was a great thing. Could cut corners, easily go down hills. Hardest to go up hills. Best to have spotter then. This walker is not as agile as knee scooter. It does not roll as smoothly or turn as easily. Would say not to walker and encourage rental of knee scooter. Best of luck with your surgery!

Yes and it works great! I had knee surgery a couple years ago and I used the slender tone to keep my muscles loose but it also has a setting that helps build a little muscle!

You would have to check with your healthcare provider to answer this question. The Northern California Kaiser foundation provides a referral to a medical rental company who has this and other brands of knee walkers. In my case the cost of the rental was far greater than the cost to purchase the device. When I no longer have a need for it, I will donate it and take the write off!

Yes it would. My wife had a hip replacement and her friend had a knee replacement. They both had the same physical therapist at the same hospital and later at home. They both bought and used the medical pedal exerciser and it really helped them both to a complete recovery. The price is cheap, but the construction is good.

I wish I could answer this for you. I have to have a knee replacement and the custom brace made it difficult to wear long pants. Also, I got pulled over through all securities with the custom brace. I have bone against bone. It does give me support so that I do not turn my knee in an awkward position. I think your orthopedic doctor could give good advice on this one. Pat W

No. This is to put pressure on the patella tendon. This is not used for any protection of the knee.

My experience I used for support from a torn ligament to avoid my knee from slipping in and out of place. If you're using for support you will benefit with my experience with muscle and cartilage the body has to repair itself! Hope this helps!

I don't see why not. It's not going to effect the support at all in my opinion. I too have contemplated as I like the design inside. It is a great knee support. Hope that helps.

I used a pill � cutter and took them by halves. They really did help me with my arthritic knee!

Yes. You can freeze it or heat it in the microwave, depending on your need. I had a total knee replacement, and this is the best cold pack I've found. I actually bought 2 so that I could freeze one while using the other. You can also move around while using this, though you'll probably have to readjust it once you plant yourself again!

No. It is good for a short while. I used it for a few weeks and started having terrible knee pain. I haven't used it much since. :(

I'm not home but I believe they are sewn in. So the answer would be no. They refreeze in a couple hours, it sure helped me get through my knee replacement in June

It should. I had knee replacement. The single large leg goes on the outside of tub. The back fits on either side depending on which way you want to sit. You sit on outside of seat then slide over lifting legs over edge of tub.

It was not big enough for my knee and was useless for my knee. I weigh 200. Might work for smaller size weight.
