    TKR I'm back again

    I sympathize with you. My own story similar, but I'm 8 months out & on my 3rd Physiotherapist regime (tho I find Samantha smiths online class to be reasonable re stress: recovery). At this point, I (masters program in sports injury) think I have scar tissue limiting my flexion at 93. I used to...

    My knee spontaneously shifted during a recent casual indoor walk & it hurt acutely. Monitoring, I m guessing a section of scar tissue tore, as my lateral knee area is slightly more mobile. The journey continues. Keep on truckin

    TKR 2.5 mo post R-TKR: stiff, modest flex, pain other than knee area

    Well, it's always felt like that, even when PT was assisting, but my pain threshold & guarding are mixed in there too. The PT said it felt like I was fighting her when she asstd. One day I had a dif PT who had me do wall slides with my good leg supporting/under surgical leg vs on top as a...

    My surgeon has not brot up MUA, tho I feared he would. The nuclear 3 phase scan is set in late May, due to hosp backlog. How would I recognize a Hard Stop & in what position should I test?

While my pain is less, my unasst flexion still looks like low 90s & I am quite stiff at patellar tendon + a band laterally from lower IT attachment thru upper 6" of Tibialis anterior. Surgeon is scheduling a...

    Thxforcheckin. Still very stiff, but I gravity hang over edge of bed easier & have less pain .my latest Progress index is How Long can I Sleep continuously, which has improved. Still, it would be nice to get Flexion above 90. I do two ROM exercise sessions in on most days . My surgeon offered...
