    4 months post op. OS has upped my Celebrex to twice a day because of Patellar tendinitis. He also suggested 4 weeks PT twice a week for stretch, massage and Ultra Sound. Not sure the US was a good idea, more pain today and yesterday after the US. Thoughts?

    I would say LF3D and LF4D, right over the left kneecap. Not painful enough to take any pain meds. No pain in back of knee, no fever. Still slight to moderate swelling. Difficulty getting up from the chair with no hands
