    Hinged Joint 8 month regression^

    I'm at 6weeks post op. My knee is stiff, I think I have scar tissue that needs to pop. I went to PT one week after surgery and I don't believe she was very good.

    3 1/2 weeks out from my partial knee replacement. I am feeling stress like I am not doing enough, my PT forces my leg to go to ROM of 90 and then I say stop no more.

    So the wedge in physical therapy is 15" tall but not sure if that is normal for patients at home, are pillows too soft for the knee/leg or do we need something a bit firmer like a wedge and how high should our knee be? over heart? Will the 3 pillows safety pinned together be enough for height?

    My knee replacement is scheduled for 10/26. Scheduled for a partial but when they get in there and feel I need a full I am giving my blessing for that to the surgeon. I had a pre op physical therapy session and she said that I need some kind of support pillow , wedge or whatever. The knee...
