Knee stiffness after a total knee replacement varies from patient to patient, along with recovery time. Stiffness commonly disappears after the initial inflammation from the surgery subsides. In some people, stiffness may last through all recovery and rehabilitation, possibly for months.

Hey, you have just been through a MAJOR surgery! You feel a loss for your old knee, even though it has worn out & we are lucky to have replacement surgery available. Let's face it, this is a life change...the rehab is long & you feel tired after years of pain. Take it a day at a time. The first knee replacement I had, I cried the second night for about a half hour...really over the loss of my real knee. Take care, things do get better & one day you will be so thankful that you were able to have a new knee put in. Blessings!

Water on the knee after knee replacement is a very common problem that many patient face. It can be common or uncommon depending on severity of the swelling and time frame. Immediately following surgery it would appear as if your knee joint is swollen that is because of the underlying tissue has been traumatized. In knee replacement surgery the surgeon has to reach the joint by cutting the muscles so once operation is done the muscles has to be reorganized and that is the cause for swelling. As long as you are not having trouble or it is not causing any trouble to you swelling is normal thing. Hope it helps.
