Are circulation problems connected to a knee replacement?

This is my latest question because it is an issue that I have developed in my right leg only, and only since the total knee replacement. I noticed a varicose vein come up in my calf and thread veins on my ankle.

In addition, the circulation has never been quite right, signalled by a funny mottled colour on that leg. So, is it connected?

Gym work! Now I have the hospital gym timetable and don’t have to go to knee class, I can take this to a whole new level! . This morning I wanted to see what my squats actually looked like because I have been told my centre of balance is way off and I’ve been trying to fix it but I’m a visual learner. . For these squats I have an Olympic bar (20kg) plus 5kg of weight added - total weight 25kg. Considerably lighter than I used to be able to manage, however small steps are the best ones! . As you can see, I still start by unconsciously leaning more on my left, however my second squat was slightly better. I did 3 sets of 10 and really tried to focus on that. . Many years of unconscious compensation for the knee injury will take a wee while to fix! . . . . . . . . #gymwork #strength #rehab #kneereplacement #totalkneereplacement #tka #tkr #squats #barbellsquats #strengthbuilding #thisgirlcan #cyclistlegs
