Reusable Gel Ice Pack for Hot and Cold Compress, Ice Packs for Injuries Reusable Gel, For Injury Recovery and Muscle Pain Relief (1-Pack, Blue, Regular)

Excellent ice pack to cool my new replaced knee joint after my Physical Therapy working it (bends, short walks, etc) I got several of these - they lay flat in freezer (dont take up much room), and they wrap around the knee to provide more consistent cooling (be sure to wrap it in something like a hand towel so its not laying directly on the skin). Then I use elastic athletic wrap to hold it in place (that stretchy brown wrap). Worked great, I was able to exercise knee with PT and with a walker, then ice it for half hour and pop back in freezer several times a day, and didnt need or use any pain pills (just slightly stronger Tylenol, and Aleve). After 3 days, I switched from using a walker to walking on my treadmill, so I could practice a proper stride and set a consistent pace and distance - a mile at 1.5 mph. After just 18 days, I was outside, walking a mile with no support, no crutch, no cane, just out walking pretty normal. If youre looking at knee replacement, how bad or good it is depends on how committed you are to doing the PT. Most important is the "heel slide", laying on back, slide your heel, bending the knee up as much as you can ten times, holding it at peek bend for 10 seconds. Then again, but this time with a strap around your foot to pull it, trying to relax the knee muscles so just the strap is pulling it up Try to get to where it hurts a little but is not really painful. Dont worry, the first day or 2 you might not be able to move it at all, but it soon gets better. Then keeping leg straight, raise the foot about 6 inches up, and hold for 5 seconds, working up to 10 seconds. The PT for going down stairs and getting out of cars is just stand holding back of a chair, and bend the knee / calf as far back as you can, lifting the foot as high as you can. Dont bend the hip, just the knee. The PT folks send me home after just half the sessions cuz I was already at desired goals (bend the knee 120+ degrees, and walking down stairs). Bottom line, if you just had a knee replaced, then you've got nowhere to be and nothing else to do, so might as well work on getting better, so do your PT, and dont forget to ice it. Do PT (heel slides etc), and WALK a lot. After reading all the stories about how long it takes to recover from knee replacement, I found one who was out walking after 6 weeks, so that was my goal. I was walking in 18 days. And still doing the PT bends for several more weeks cuz the knee is still healing, so dont let it heal just straight, keep working on max bend. Also used them when I had my hips replaced, which is relatively easy compared to knee. Basically do the PT, ice it, and walk around pretty normally with a cane for 5-6 weeks, then youre done.
