helpful hint

I don't know if this is new or not. I never saw it posted. I told my PT that I can't stand having the sheets or any kind of material touch my knees. Friday he showed me how to massage my knees. Take your thumb and firmly in a circular motion massage directly on your incision all the way down and then do the same on each side of your incision. I have done this for 2 nights before I've gone to bed and wow, it worked. Just make sure you have no scabs. If you do anywhere, skip that spot and don't do it unless your incision is closed all the way.:thmb:

Sorry if all of you knew this already but I never saw a post about the massaging. I just saw the vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which, I love putting cocoa butter lotion on after the massage.

The massaging thing has been posted before, but it's been awhile. My PT does it to me, and I do it my self. I think it really helps.

My pt told me to do that massaging with vitamin E as a moisturizer. It works for me.
