I am happy for you too, it is so hard when there are problems---it seems like everyone else is dancing on day five while you are struggling. It is nice to see you move forward.

After my open lysis of adhesions, my doc really stressed that if I exercised a hot, inflamed leg, I would cause more adhesions to form. So, three weeks with just heel slides and leg lifts---lots of icing and elevation. Then 3 weeks of table exercises---quad sets, leg lifts, clam shells. I could not do standing exercises until my knee had no swelling and was not warm.

It took forever and I was so impatient--but my PT kept saying---look if we do this we will know that we did all that we could to prevent the adhesions from reforming.

I have had no issues with adhesions since the surgery and after 8 weeks, I began to exercise the knee.

[Josephine]

What did you do in the 48hrs before this happened?

 

[patsortho]

@Josephine I went to work . I didn’t do anything extreme . It’s 45 minute drive

 

[Josephine]

And what did that involve?
I'm just trying to help here, Pat.

 

[sistersinhim]

Seems like there should be a process to fully stretch out the quads and hammies before any MUA.

There is...time and gentle daily activity movements. Why keep inflaming an already inflamed knee? Getting that inflammation down will ease up those movements. But, all this takes time. Trying to speed up the healing process by aggressive PT just slows it down.

Something changed inside your knee to make it loss bend in one night. The vast majority of the time it's swelling that causes that lower bend. If you had it once, it'll come back when the fluid is out of your knee. Please be patient.
