Guest guest Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Good luck, Lynn. The knee really does have to bend more to make it all worthwhile.

If luck isn't with me, I'll be getting one tomorrow (may have logistics problems). My OS got wind of my knee situation...on my own, I could only achieve a 70 bend (my PT snitched! LOL!) even tho she got me to a 90 before I left Monday. I'm back to it being stiff as a board and still painful, so maybe a manipulation will do me some good. I know I'll have to have PT 5-10 days consecutively after it. I'll keep you posted.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I had a manipulation about 14 weeks out as I was only getting 75 degrees bend. I went through a couple of weeks here I was getting almost 90 and then it got stiffer. My OS got my knee to 130 degrees under anesthesia. I then went to PT everyday for 2 weeks and was using a CPM 8 hours a day. I was able to get and maintain 115-120 degrees. The manipulation to me was not all that painful and the PT was less painful afterward . Terri TKR 11/09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Lynn, That's terrific news. Keep up the good work. Jeff From: Lynn <lynnf_99@...> Joint Replacement Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 11:09 AM Subject: Knee Manipulation I forgot to report in...my knee manipulation went well. I just completed 7 straight days of PT and now can reach a 107 flexion. There's still pain...my body is stopping me from going further in spite of pushing it. But maybe tomorrow is the day I'll hit 110. 3 little degrees only, eh? ) My OS told me that my muscle disease, even tho in remission, is most definitely affecting my rehab. The doc who did the hip replacement was at a loss to say that was it...but since I had mine done the old fashioned way...it makes sense that the already damaged muscles took a hit. But, so far so good!
