Knee Replacement Recovery Status

I am still recovering from knee replacement and surprisingly there is still swelling, mostly on the back side of my knee.  There is still pain, but the pain is more mild but almost always there.  There are times where the pain level is increased and I have to take 4 Ibuprofen to help relieve the pain.

Physical Therapy is helping me regain my strength and range of motion.  There have been a couple of times where I hurt for a day or two afterward.  I think mostly from the stretching to help the range of motion.  Sometimes icing after helps and sometimes not so much.  I am definitely getting stronger and am able to balance better on my left leg.  There is still a long way to go though.  I think once the swelling goes away, I will regain some range of motion and the pain will subside.  I am looking forward to that.
