Corticosteroids do not benefit acute anaphylaxis but may prevent relapse or protracted anaphylaxis. Hydrocortisone (100 to 200 mg) or its equivalent can be administered every 6 to 8 hours for the first 24 hours.
Don't twist your knee as you turn around. Take several small steps instead. After two weeks, or sooner if youâre confident, you can go down to one crutch and then a walking stick. After about six weeks, if your muscles feel strong and supportive, you can try walking without aids.
Early physical therapy is very important to obtain full range of motion in your knee after knee replacement. You should expect physical therapy two times a week for the first 6 weeks after surgery.
