Hi, Last month, I underwent a total knee replacement. My surgeon advises slow and steady treatment. My "surgical" pain was probably progressing normally, but I still experienced what my PT diagnosed as nerve pain. My physical therapy comprises moderate bending, straightening, and other knee and leg-related motions. Additionally, I'm standing exercises that accomplish the same purpose. In terms of CMT, I don't anticipate being much better than I was prior to surgery, but I believe I'm getting close. It will take at least six months for a full recovery. Continue to follow your doctor's recommendations, and you will gradually recover. I travel, dance, do yoga, go on hikes, and I'm a really active person. You'll recover quickly! Good luck.
