Hi there
I had a PKR 11 days ago. I am bending my knee to about 80 degrees and went to see my PT yesterday. She said my bending and walking was good but I am having alot of trouble with leg lifts. She did put two rolled towels under my knee and I managed to lift it but very minimal. The pain is really bad over the kneecap - kind of feels like it is dislocated. Kicking out from a sitting position is also very painful with the same kind of pain. Has anyone else had this pain. All other pain I have experienced has been in the muscles - quad and thigh. Should I be further ahead at this stage. I am getting very disappointed and frustrated.
Thanks
Carol
