Hi all
I am three months out continues good extension and ROM . The pain has not decreased. I still take tramadol for relief. My Dr. Have recommended Dry Needling. Have any of you had experienced with this after TKR?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks so much. I was thinking about using the bike at home and to start a walking plan. I am still taking Tramadol at 7 weeks due to this horrible pain after PT. Swelling only gets bad after PT.

I have gained flexion at 110 now . I still have moderate pain after PT . I am wondering if twice a week is too much?
Any of your thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks so much!!

Thanks for the prayers.
