    TKR Doing too much

    Guess I didn't do any damage. Soft tissue maybe but swelling is down. I will continue to ice and stick to conventional ROM exercises. I never could sit on my knees and will never try that again Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Why don't they measure swelling?

    I'll say to you what my surgeon told me. I'll do the best in the operating room and if you do your best in rehab this will be a successful TKR. I worked hard and yes it was painfull but 1 year I am loving my new knee Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    TKR Doing too much

    I will say I do what I do because as Jaycey said that is why I had the replacement. Good to read that the opinion is that it will not affect the longevity. Appreciate the replies Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    Anyone have information on Graston technique?

    This was one of my PT favorites. It does hurt bit not in the same way as it hurt when trying to get more range of motion. Give it a try but be aware it hurts but only for a moment Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum
