Hey all. I had a total knee replacement on January 8th and I have some questions. At my last PT on Weds, my therapist measured me at 100 degree bend and the doctor said two weeks ago that if I wasn't at 110 by this Friday that he would do manipulation on it. Now I know they will put me under with a nerve block but, who else on here has had that done?
I still have some issues with swelling and I wear support hose for that. The Dr said part of the stiffness issue is that most of the muscle mass in my left knee was gone before surgery. My strength is coming along fine.
I am frustrated with my rehab so far as I have watched other people walk in like they never had surgery, after mine, and are far more advanced in PT.
