This is something you should ask your doctor.
I had bilateral knee replacent surgery three months ago. I have not been able to increase the range of motion beyond 95 degrees. I exercise daily on a stationary bike and a rowing machine. Swelling is almost gone.
It is generally safe to perform deadlifts after a knee replacement, but it is important to consult with your doctor or physical therapist to ensure proper technique and avoid any potential risks to your knee.
I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
