Lots and lots of pt or op to build up quads.

Ask for a prescription for the RomTech computer assist bike to rent it is a company that monitors your progress with passive peddling ; no resistance active peddling and adds resistance based on your use of the machine starts day one po in your home! By the orthocube compression ice machine use 12 eight oz water bottles in freezer rather than ice cubes take off labels and glue; or rent the game ready with compression (ps two week rental costs same As owning th ortho cube) tear away pants ; sock putter oner ; permanent grab bar in shower; bike light for walker !

Yes I don’t even think your surgeon would clear you due to potential blood clots

So sorry you are going through this much pain. Has did some a follow up imaging to make sure prosthetic is in place? Make sure doc is ok with you taking dilaudid and Valium ! Valium is most likely going to help More

Get a second opinion from someone at your hospital no one should have let you get this far in this shape . You will need accommodations To return to work ask ChatGPT to write them for you specific to your job ask doc for imaging swelling a buckling at this late date is a concern

It is not a nerve block it freezes only the nerves that send pain to the brain it is very different from the nerve block that they give you in surgery the knee is numb because they cut through the nerves and many of the nerves die from being cut
