Yep. I am trusting that all that I've read here is going to lead me to a full ROM sometime in the next few months.
First.....I'm on day 16 and thrilled with my progress. I started with a knee that hasn't seen full extension or flexion past 100 in the last 45 years. The evening of my surgery, the nurses and PT had me up ( with a walker ) and flexing to 110. I haven't been able to get past 100 since. I dropped back to 80 for a few days and am now moving forward. I read everything on bonesmart, and have found this site to be extremely helpful. The concept of "pain-no gain" is SO TRUE!!!
ON day 16, I find that my gait is almost normal, the pain is slowly subsiding, and I am starting to find myself doing things that I've not been able to do for 4 decades.
The info that I've gleaned here regarding use of meds, approach to PT and the mental approach to recovery have been priceless.
I just want to say " thank you" bonesmarters
