I had my MUA on the 24th, there’s a big difference in my ROM. I was in physio the following 3 days and back Monday. My ROM going in to the MUA was very, very poor at 15 weeks I was measuring 60-65 degrees. I don’t know what the surgeon got me too because by the time I woke up from anaesthetic he...

I just saw my family Dr and we discussed my upcoming MUA, he told me he would dry needle my knee today…..so he takes a needle and jabs it up and down the full length of the scar and it Instantly felt looser!!!! I still need the MUA but I can feel a difference! anyone else had that?

My knee was at 60 degree bend at 6 weeks and 9 weeks, I’m having an MUA next week at 13 weeks post surgery. I’ve been doing exercises and physio the whole time….my surgeon told me to keep trying but said in his opinion nothing would change….and sadly he was right. That said I’ve read if lots of...

Thank You! I had surgery 2008 and 2012 on the same knee for meniscus tears. I also fell two months before my TLKR and my Leg went sideways underneath me and my knee was very swollen.

I haven’t posted on here in awhile, I had a LTKR on Feb 10th 2022. At 6 weeks my ROM was 60, I am now at 13 weeks and still at 60 degree bend. I am still doing exercises. I have an MUA scheduled for May 24th. I am beyond frustrated. At no point after having my surgery did I foresee a situation...

I joined a FB group this a.m for people who have had or will be having a TKR. First thing I see is a video of a lady 6 week post op cycling on a stationary bike, which I think is phenomenal! Wish I could do it, but nowhere near yet ( at 7 weeks post op). I wish I could see even an improvement...

@hemaknee I was interested to see your ROM is 60-70. I had my LTKR on Feb 10th 2022, (7 weeks today) my ROM is about 60, my Ortho surgeon had suggested a MUA if it hasn’t improved significantly in the next 4 weeks. I too am working every day to improve it. Everyday is so challenging. Wishing you...

@Jockette the post op blues, I am all of that right now. Thank You for the info. Its a mental game as well as physical. Some days I manage to keep it all in perspective, but other days I just want a big pity party

@Claire56 @benne68 Thank you, your comments have made me feel better. Honestly I’ve been in tears on and off most of the day, just feeling like I’m stuck and no progress. The support on this site is amazing! ❤️

Not sure what my exact ROM was prior to surgery…..but it was poor, I was limping badly and was on the surgical wait list for 16 months.

My ROM is only 60 and 0, knee is very stiff and I’m limping pretty heavily, so need the cane. Surgeon wants to do a MUA. I’m reluctant but struggling the way I am.

Good morning, I am 7 weeks today post op LTKR. Is it normal to still be relying so heavily on a cane? I do ok in the house with it. I can only do the shortest of walks outside with it though, like park the car right outside where I’m going, if I had to walk any distance I don’t think I could do...

MSN58 I think keeping a journal is a fantastic idea! I’m going to start doing the same! I feel like the days just morph one into the other, so it will be interesting to be able to look back and see that there were actual differences and changes, however small.

My surgery date was Feb 10th 2022. thank you for all of the info!!!

Hi, I am almost 7 weeks post op LTKR. I have been diligently doing my exercises, going to PT once a week, icing/elevating etc. My knee is super stiff and my flexion is 65 on a good day My extension is anywhere between 0 and 5. Needless to say my Surgeon isn’t happy, I go back in 4 weeks to see...
