I had bilateral TKR on March 15, 2019. My recovery has been slow, mostly I believe from the swelling and in the beginning a bad reaction to all pain meds. I attend PT twice a week and usually take a day or two for recovery from the PT.
I saw the surgeon for my 12 week check up last week and he has scheduled me for a manipulation this coming Friday. I am very unsure if I want the manipulation but Dr says this is the time to do it and it should be done. I have about 125 degrees in left leg and 110 in right, although he measured right at 90 because it was so swollen when I was there. He said it is scar tissue that is causing stiffness and needs to be broken now.
I am so unsure about this procedure and feel like I am just blindly following orders. I also have to say that I really like my surgeon and knees is all he does for the past 25 years. I feel like he has tons of experience and has done a great job with me so far so I hate to question his advice.
I need to figure this out quick, any advice out there? Thanks.
