Hi all, advice if possible please. This is driving me mad not knowing.
What is the difference on doing our leg bends. ???????
So, sitting up (on the bed) I find it easier to bend the leg (keeping the good leg straight).
Lying flat, every time I try to start slowly bringing the leg up, it immediately feels like a brake is on!!!!!! I then keep doing little slow movements until eventually it starts to let me bring it up. Eventually. Normally get to 90 ROM ( I will be 5 weeks post op on Tuesday).
Also, saw physio on Friday who was very pleased with my progress, he has given me 2 new exercises. Just would like thoughts if this is what others may be doing.
1. Stand against a wall, body slightly away from wall and very slowly slide up and down, basically squats.
2. Stand up sit down on chair, no holding on.
I did a couple of the wall slides whilst with him, not going down very far and the next day my knee was not happy, so using my best friend ice.
I know we all heal different but appreciate any feedback x
