Ok @Josephine here I go
1. pain levels vary from 1-9. I over did it Sat (6000 steps - not intentional just noticed at end of day), Sun 9 all day. Mon started at 3-4 ended at 9 (PT came that day with new exercises)
2.Oxycodone 5mg 1-2 q 4hours, Tramodol q 8 hrs, tylenol 1gm tid
I take from 7-12 of the oxycodone, 3 tramadol, all the tylenol
3. leg swelling - moderate? There is a 5 inch difference between my rt and left knee, measured just above the knee. Little difference in calf. Bruising is severe. I am purple from knee to groin over 2/3 thigh
4. Flexion 120 , full extension. This home PT is very generous in his ratings. I do not think it is full extension and I think more like 90 flexion
5. Icing 4-5 x day for 30-40 minutes
6. I elevate when I am not walking. It varies from 3 pillows to 1 pillow depending on my hip pain
7. I am pretty active. I live alone. Kitchen on 1st flr, bathroom 2nd flr, laundry basement. I have worn an activity tracker for years. I have been doing 2000-3000 steps to one crazy day of 6000 steps. ( not trying to but just what getting around takes in my house)
8. home pt - I do a 5- 10 quad sets a couple of times a day
a 3-4 heel slides 2-3 times a day. So not much. MY home PT added standing toe raises and marching in place.After that my pain in my hip, ankle and knee went up to a 9. No more of those!! I am really thinking of skipping, office base PT - other than a few visits for monitoring. Repetitive motions agitate my joints. I do better with walking, gardening - whole body activity
I am miserable today so I am doing no exercises today.
