I had my left knee done November 3rd. Doctor said no full swings till February 1st. But said after 3 weeks it was ok to chip and putt. I am having the right knee done February 15th., Looking forward to be able to walk the course again.
Lots of discomfort for about a month, nearly impossible to sleep the first week or so. I suggest sleeping in a recliner if you have one.
I was in rehab 2 days after surgery and kept pushing myself. Keep walking around in your home. The more you walk the looser it gets.
Right now I go to the gym every other day and bike 14 to 16 MPH for 30 minutes and do some light strength work. The knee goes like a piston. No pain, some stiffness from time to time,
Good luck
