74 now. TKR on right 4 weeks ago. Slow recovery compared to partial knee replacement 4 years ago. With the partial I was on a real bike in 4 weeks and have over 130° ROM. But I did put combo pedals on the bike (flat on one side and PDL on other) because I did not want to clip in and out. That worked well.
I agree with everything that has been said about managing pain, using ice, and sleep
challenges. I surprised at how much more difficult the TKR recovery is but I committed to getting 130° ROM on this knee, too.
cheers and good luck,
Mike
