I wonder if BTKR is followed by physiotherapy , joint stiffness should not there . If physiotherapy not done , then only physiotherapy is the answer to reduce joint stiffness and improve range of motion. . regarding redness and blisters , plz check out with your surgeon ( to rule out the cause )
Next Steps
don't ignore your symptoms , immediately start physiotherapy
