If you are thinking about knee replacement surgery or are currently recovering, don't let these mistakes hold you back! Dr. Couch, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee replacements, explains the four most common mistakes he sees patients make after knee surgery.

Top 4 mistakes after total knee replacement -
1. Avoiding Physical Therapy: This can lead to stiffness and long-term mobility issues.
2. Overdoing Activity: Pushing yourself too hard can cause things like swelling and pain, and even disrupt surgical incisions.
3. Not Planning Ahead: Recovery can become risky when you don't plan for help at home.
4. Participating in Risky Activities: Anything that raises your fall or infection risk should be avoided until you're cleared by your doctor.

These tips can help you heal from your knee replacement faster and safer.
