I had bilateral knee replacement on July 1st and just started having very painful leg cramps at night. Any advice?
In addition to what Jaycey said, it could be that if you've been doing painful PT that it's actually stopped your progress.I have had PT all along
Just an update for those who are apprehensive about gaining ROM:
It has now been 26 weeks and all I do is ADL and this is what my ROM has done:
3.5 wks: 75
6 wks: 85
7 wks: 90
10.5 wks: 95
14 wks: 100
17 wks: 105
20 weeks: 110
26 weeks (where I am today): 120!!!
I did it! My goal of 120! No "pushing through pain", no PT after the first 3 visits, and most importantly to me: No MUA! My surgeon who said I would never get beyond 85 ROM without pushing through pain was wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm excited to see if it gets even better.
I am 6 weeks post bilateral knee replacement. My surgeon is doing a
MUA next week due to very little improvement in my flexion since the surgery. I have had PT all along. 1 knee is 90 degrees. The other is in the low 70’s. Has anyone had this done? What’s afterwards like?
