Hi. This is the first time I am posting. I had a partial knee replacement on my left knee on April
3 of this year while staying in Florida. I am into week 5 and still have swelling and lots of tightness. Started with physical therapy while in Florida a week after surgery. It was brutal with them telling me no pain no gain. Many times I had to tell her to let off her pushing on injured knee. It got so bad that I quit going and was doing exercise at home. I returned to my home in PA three weeks after surgery.
Started going to physical therapist here. He has the same frame of mind. No pain no gain. Today I had to really scream at him because I couldn’t take the pain. I don’t know what to do. I have all the tools and exercise to do at my home. But my knee is so tight it hardly bends after 5 weeks. I really have no pain unless doing exercise to extreme. I am worried there is something wrong.
