DAY 8: Went for my first PT appointment. No exercises, just took some measurements and talked about recovery.
I was at 75 degrees flexion and 6 degrees extension at one week post-op.
My PT is great and said he believes that slow and steady wins the recovery. He said if something hurts don’t do it and take it easy until I’m feeling better.
Walking is going ok, my level of bruising makes it terribly painful. If my bruising wasn’t so bad I swear I’d be scooting around pretty well!
Did anyone else have such painful bruising? I knew the bruising would be bad, but not this bad! I’ve been icing and putting Arnica on several times a day to help. Any other tips for the bruising?
