I am SO glad to have found this thread. I am wondering if I am over doing it with pt. Going three days per week. About an hour and a half of stretching-painful when they do it, strengthening, including ankle weights and weight machines. I also do stretching and stationary (recumbant) bike. After that, ice and electrical stim.
My ROM is good 125, and extension is 0, so has been good since surgery.
The nights are getting better but the days are bad. Felt like I have been back tracking and experiencing more pain, especially day after PT.
Is there a recommended time to go to PT?
Also, question for Josephine. You mentioned Tylenol 1000mg four times a day...did you mean total 1000 mg or 1000 mg four times per day?
Thank you. Hate to admit it but I was reduced to tears this morning from pain and frustration wondering how I was going to be able to function at work and get off these pain meds. (Percocet).
My surgery was 2/4/16 and I had bilateral tkr.
