Why Is My Knee Clicking and Clunking?
Why Is My Knee Clicking and Clunking?
i had a RTKR on March 10th so we are about same recovery time and yes it has been a roller coaster ride at times. Finding this site has been invaluable for me. the bone smart mantra is ice, elevate (toes in line with your nose) rest and pain meds and exercise as is comfortable. i too am having problems with bending my new knee and when i have tried to over exercise it there has been increased swelling and pain, but following the 'mantra' has helped beyond degree and my PT has now suggested i do some water exercises(not swimming) and i am going for my first session next week with my PT. Will let you know how I get on. Lets stick in there be patient, slow and steady and we will get there in the end.
?..laying on my stomach and bending the knee up towards my butt. This exercise is really hard as my back leg muscles have also weakened. Good Luck!
