Hi all... Great forum.
Had a partial knee replacement a week ago and so far, all going well. Pleased with progress... Getting around fine and getting close to dispensing with the crutch. Still stiff and sore at times..but hey.. Only one week and I feel it's improving slowly.
I have been following a modest regime of exercises sets for me by my physio and pleased that I can do them without any real issues.
The ones I struggle with a little are the heels slides to improve ROM. I do a set of 5 three times a day which does seem fairly realistic. I am trying to get the balance of how much pain to get to... I don't find them easy at all... And go to a point where its pretty sore but not unbearable. After I have done my set I am okay... It doesn't impact me or set me back at all. I assume that this pain is standard for the heel slides and my approach is okay as long as I don't push it too hard?
Thanks
