Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Am I understanding this currectly? It takes months before you can bend your knee to a normal sitting position? Chrissie Re: Got a Date! > > I just have a question about the flexibility suggestion at 2 weeks out. I am 3 months out of a TRKR, and have only bent the knee to 90 once, and that's with a lot of crying. I have already had one manipulation, and am worried that I will never get the bend. I do the exercises at home and have pt 2x a week. Is there more that I can do? I do the exercises to the point that I cry, alot. I have my kids help me, and they don't mind pushing me further. It's just every time I do the exercises, my knee swells up, no matter how much ice I put on it. I can't take anti-inflammatories due to stomach problems. Any suggestions? > > Kellie Kellie, it took me that long to get to 90, too. There is no way I could have gotten to 90+ in two weeks. Everyone is different. I couldn't take the anti-inflammatories (still can't) because of DVTs and the rat poison, so maybe that is part of it. Mine are fine, now, at a little over a year out. Keep at it.
