Totally normal.My biggest complaint besides the numb feet is insomnia. I am exhausted but can not get any sleep. Is this normal?
My feet are still numb and tingly. But as long as I have feeling in them they tell me not to worry.numbness
You answered your question yourself. You are more swollen so you can't bend as well. As the swelling goes down, your bend will get better. But, you will have up and down days. This is normal. That is why it's called a rollercoaster recovery.So today is day 14 since surgery. My ROM was at 90 yesterday but has gone backwards today to 84. Should this concern me? I'm feeling very defeated. What am I doing wrong? I also have more swelling today than before.
Evidently, you have done something your knee doesn't like and has reacted with increased inflammation. Even if you haven't added any movements, you could have moved wrong while asleep. I found that explained some of my morning's angry knee.today my knee is so swollen and stiff I can hardly move it at all.
Continue to do this, plus no exercising or PT until your knee settles back down. When a knee is this angry exercising will have negative results, making it even more inflamed.I have been icing and elevating all day. Any other tips?
