My so far so good just went to OUCHHHHHHHHH..... I had surgery friday and went to the hospital today for my 1st out patient therapy. I walked in without cructhes and very little pain. They couldn't believe how well I was doing. First thing is they put me on this piece of exercise equipment which resembled a bike but after a few minutes he would stop me and move the seat up futher and I would continue for a few more minutes and then once again the seat was moved up until I had a good bend in my knees.I got off but felt fine and then he layed me on a table and that is where things got rough. He had me do the exercises I had learned in the hospital and was doing at home but then he threw in alot more. When I left there I was sore but feeling okay . By the time I got home I was calling out for the crutches. My knee was throbbing with pain and is sooooo swollen. I had a hard time sleeping through the night . When I awoke I still had sharp pain in my knee and yes the crutches and pain pills are coming in very handy. Okay friends who have been through this is this normal. My surgery was just Friday. I should of walked into the therapy looking like a wounded puppy maybe he would of been nicer to me.....
