    I forgot to add my foot swells a lot as well as my calf & knee. Incision looks great but it always feels hot & tight. Cramps pains in my thigh & outer calf.

    Well I am now almost 7 weeks out. I have 75-80degrees flexion. My Pt was increased to 3 times/week & I take 2 Lortab before I go with no real results. It hurts horribly but my OS says if I'm not at 100 degrees by 3/16/16 we need to do MUA or o will never have use of my knee. I'm back to work...

    The doc or pt never say that. Just that I'm taking too much pain meds & not flexing!
