8 weeks today and I still have the tight band feeling off and on which is annoying as it prevents good mobility! It looked great upon waking but as day went on the swelling got worse .
My P. Therapist who is also the owner is on vacation for 2 weeks so I’m assigned an assistant. Well after PT yesterday and doing the shuttle leg press with 50 lb wt increased from 37.5lb both my knees today really ached and my TKR leg was slightly edematous with pitting edema on my knee cap and ankle area . I had to see a new young PT person today to reevaluate for Medicare approval but she didn’t have time to msssage me. Well this therapist tells me that it looks like I have lymphedema and to elevate and do pumps again.
Today when I did the shuttle leg press they lowered the weights telling me perhaps it was too much weight yesterday. I’m a bit annoyed about the no massage and that I won’t be seen at PT again till next week. I feel like when the boss is away the kids are going to play .
I’m getting impatient as I feel like I should be doing better . My bend is I think she said 105-110 on my own but could bend more if she did it .
Thanks for listening to my frustration!
