    MUA Kimber PT Update

    I’m sure even when off crutches I’ll still be using them at certain times. I just need to be living again - I need enough strength and movement to drive again. I feel like a prisoner right now

    It’s not so much that they are in a rush to get me off crutches. In fact I was doing some walking without crutches prior to the MUA and we all agreed to go back to two andbaby it after But my leg is so atrophied that there is no firing of the quad - my disability is up and I need to find a way...

    MUA Kimber PT Update

    The second MUA was 2/11 - no scope this time so at least less traumatic Most of the swelling is gone except in the area medial to the patella. Pretty much where the pain is So I had been at 90 ROM prior now settled in at 110 since ROM but the knee feels more engaged PT expects me off...

    MUA Kimber PT Update

    Just a quick update- so my follow up with my doctor after my last post regarding more activity and a decline in ROM led to a second MUA - I’m about 2 weeks out from that.

    MUA Kimber PT Update

    Finally got back to my own home Sat - able to walk with one crutch though still using 2 a lot because of stamina Question: as you do more at bearing and activity, does ROM go down? I was at 100 a week ago, 95 on Friday and 90 today

    MUA Kimber PT Update

    @Jockette yeah I thought your surgery was a while before mine It slightly below the patella, more lateral than centered .... it is a weird feeling. I’ve been working on keeping my knee in it’s normal alignment when doing PT because it’s leaning inward and it feels better when I support the...

    MUA Kimber PT Update

    @backadeez Being able to stand and bear the weight on my recovering knee is progress in a couple ways: 1. I’m closer to losing a crutch and getting back to my home with some independence again. 2. By reengaging my knee muscles, the leg will passively hold my extension and flexion progress ...
