Knee surgery
Hello…I am now just 10 days away from having a left knee replacement…it was postponed from November.
I was wondering how swollen my knee will be afterwards and for how long?
I guess I need to be buying some loose joggers. Any thoughts and suggestions?

Hi Nicholaj, wishing you all the best for your knee surgery.
I had my right knee replaced 8 days ago, although it wasn’t as swollen as I expected I too bought some lose fitting joggers. You don’t want to be trying to pull on anything tight fitting, like leggings or jeans. I also wore a skirt made of jersey/jogger material, which made moving easier too. I made sure I wore my trainers for good grip & stability especially when the physiotherapist gets you doing post op exercises the following day.
Good Luck.
