It's fine as long as your knee doesnt get massaged, and whatever feel painful tell them to stop. A massage sounds like a good idea to me too after knee surgery =]

Will massage help with osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis indicates damage to the cartilage in that knee. while message may feel good and give some relief it will not do anything to repair the cartilage that is at the root of the problem. Answer 2: Unfortunately osteoarthritis has to do with the knee, bone and cartilage loss. Massage can only affect the muscles and surrounding tissue. It may help to massage this area if there is swelling and inflammation but that will not change the loss of cartilage in the knee. Severe osteoarthritis and loss of cartilage, bone on bone, is where doctors usually consider knee replacement surgery.
How common is total knee ligament replacement surgery?
There are 5 main types of knee replacement surgery: Total knee replacement. This is the most common form. Your surgeon replaces the surfaces of the thigh bone and shin bone that connects to the knee. Partial knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one side of your knee, this surgery may be a possibility. However, it’s only right for you if you have strong knee ligaments and the rest of the cartilage in the knee is normal. Partial knee replacement can be performed through a smaller cut than is needed for total knee replacement. Patellofemoral replacement. This replaces only the under-surface of the kneecap and the groove the kneecap sits in. This can be very effective for people with chronic kneecap arthritis. Complex (or revision) knee replacement. This procedure may be needed if you have very severe arthritis or if you’ve already had two or three knee replacement surgeries. Cartilage restoration: Sometimes when the knee only has an isolated area of injury or wear this area can be replaced with a living cartilage graft or cells which grow into cartilage.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?
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.
