Happy Easter all. With my few minutes before I head out to Easter dinner, I wanna throw the net out for any encouragement and reassurance regarding what might be called a 5 month plateau. I'm a late bloomer due to arthrofibrosis and did not have scar tissue resolved until 2/23/11 and did not get ROM past 90 until early March.
I can get @ 115 degrees bend and 0 extension although my knee tends to snap back like a rubber band to 95 and 5. This is going to improve, right?!?!? Like, my leg will actually get the message and bend to 115 without needing so much prodding?
I also seem to have a fair amount of effusion in the joint. I can go downstairs normally, best after my morning stretch. But other than right after stretching, there's a lot of pulling on the front of my knee when I go downstairs.
Also having pain on bending on the medial side of the knee, and in back!
I find myself asking myself, When is this going to go away?!? Looking for hope. Thanks, all.
