Knee Replacement Advice

Kazziwaz

Hi everyone, haven't posted in a long time but have been around mooching, after some advice or reassurance.

I'm 8 weeks post op from a full knee replacement, everything has been going well recovery wise but this last week (as I'm walking on it more) I'm getting a pain around the kneecap area, quite sharp at times which causes me to start limping. it isn't constant, comes and goes, anyone experienced anything similar? (I'm at physio group tomorrow so will check in with them)

I've kind of been thrown to the wolves in terms of when I should be walking without a crutch, physio took me down to 1 at 6 weeks and then said off you pop, you should be off that by 8 weeks, I don't feel I could walk all day without it or any type of distance, can just about manage round Aldi pushing a trolley! Only physio I have now is the start of a group class tomorrow and a check up in 3 months in ortho.

Anyway sorry for the long post, would just appreciate some advice from those who are on the other side of things.

Thanks
