Suggest Medication Post Knee Replacement
I had knee replacement one yr ago and today I can hardly bend my knee. When I went back for the year check up he took and exra and said all was fine. We have now moved to a new area. Should I seek a new dr and get this check out or is it just the wet/cold weather? Thank you

Dear sir/mam,
It is hard for me to believe that a normal TKR patient is not being able to bend the knee. I suggest you have a second opinion by another doctor but one of the most important causes of such stiffness is poor post op physiotherapy. There are no medications which will increase the range of movements. The weather will not affect a post TKR patient as much as you are suffering.
