It has been 11 months since my tkr and 7 months since my mua and I still can not bend more than 90 or straighten my leg to 0. I now am regretting getting my knee done pt has now retired and am currently looking for a new one. I am heading to Cuba in 3 weeks and I am worried about all the walking and not being able to enjoy myself because of this knee. I ride a stationary bike every other day becuse the pain is so bad. I lay with 5 pound weight on my knee to help with the straighting. Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hi gman33,
What does your OS say about your pain and ROM?
I would start looking for a second opinion for an OS who specializes in revisions, they have the experience to determine what the problem is with painful TKR's.
You may be doing too much, try taking some time off from exercising, and Rest, Ice, and Elevate, and see if that helps.
Here are some suggested exercises for extension:
Extension: exercises for improvement
For your trip to Cuba, take some crutches to take the wt. off your leg so you can walk more.
Let us know how you are doing,

I agree with Pumpkln that it's time to search out a good revision specialist who can properly diagnose what is going on with your knee. You can use the BoneSmart Find a Clinic locator at the top of the page. Or, if you like, I'll try and guide you to someone who can help. I would need to know what city you are in or near or your zip code. Just tag me if you want assistance.
