Most clots but are metabolized by the body so quicklythat they do not cause any discomfort. Sometimes, however, occur in the weeksfollowing joint replacement surgery symptomatic "thromboembolism," forexample in the lungs and inside of the leg arterial system (known as deepvein).

     I am glad to hear that you had it.  You will never regret it. Once the healing is done.  You are over the  worst part . It will feel better daily.  Do you use ice?? I had a couple of bags of vegies that I kept rotateing.  I was non weight bearing.. so spent the 6 weeks or summer in my second story apartment.  Have never gotten beyond 90 on my right knee.. but have alot of back involvement. But then when there is a whole lot of leg there...you know what I mean doesnt give much room to bend.  LOL.  I had both my totals at  260 lbs. As time heals you.  you will be able to walk with out that continuos pain. And you will not regret it.... Good luck.
