Both. To my way of thinking, there's no point in counting degrees. You can eyeball the bend. The OS can, the PT can, and we can.
I didn’t want to get off topic in the thread where I asked who you refused to let measure your ROM so I figured I’d come here to continue.
It was bad enough that my PT pushed too far to measure, but my surgeon was also a fan of doing that. It took until my 7 month check up to not let my surgeon do that to me.
I have a weird sensation that in my knee also that I call nerve damage, no specific diagnosis. Obviously, early in recovery our incision is very sensitive and anything, pants, blanket, etc. bothers it, because it hasn’t healed yet.
My partial (Patellofemoral) was done in March of 2017, so I was 7+ months post op by autumn last year.
Any time I put pants on, or longer capris, anything touching the knee, it feels like something big and hard swells up immediately inside the knee. I’m ok if I wear shorts.
This is very different from the early incision sensitivity. It’s extremely uncomfortable. I dread the cold weather coming.
I also have nerve issues on the foot of my non operated leg that I’ve had for over 5 years. My foot gets upset just having a sock on it, and a shoe is worse. I’ve been to several doctors about my foot and nothing has helped.
Just wanted to let you know I’m another one with nerve issues and no help.
