I just wanted to introduce myself. I just found this forum and it has been very uplifting. I had a TKR on my right knee on 1/10/23 and have been struggling big time in my PT. I should start by saying I suffer from high anxiety and depression. The prescribed pain meds sent me into the hospital with panic attack and I was unable to take. At 7 weeks post-op my extension is currently at 0 degrees and ROM is variable between 95-100 degrees. My PT therapist is VERY aggressive and during my last visit was so aggressive with forcing my knee that I screamed and cried, asking them to stop. They stopped when I finally said “Uncle”. They have emphasized they need to get me to 110 degrees within next couple of weeks. I cannot go back. Now I anticipate the pain and it makes me physically ill. I am enlightened to see there are other ways to proceed after reading over comments and now have hope. Thank you!!
