Now the hard part begins. I go for my first PT this afternoon. Just my first venture after surgery (a trip to the bathroom) was an ordeal. This is a pain unlike any I have ever experienced. I would not wish this pain on anyone, not even a Democrat. (except you-know-who)

My pastor had it a couple years ago. You should be fine after a semi-long recovery.

I would not wish this pain on anyone, not even a Democrat. (except you-know-who) Did you get the chance to talk a little with the doctor afterwards? Was he encouraging about how the procedure went and confident about your recovery? Have your talked to anyone at the PT Lab? Gonna hurt, but but stretching that LITTLE extra bit is going to pay dividends in the long run...Good luck, man...

I spoke with the PT the week before the surgery and and both ready, and dreading, what is to come. I have been up and around the house with a walker quite a bit and fel ok with what is to come.

So nine days after surgery and two PT sessions, today I was able to work my knee well enough to get my foot fully down on the floor. Still pain after my exercise and much limited movement but I am pleased with my progress and will see the PT Tuesday and the surgeon Wednesday. Hoping for a good report.

Pay attention too to what kinds of movements you can do yourself at home to help regain your mobility. Now that you're seeing progress, help yourself as much as possible...and don't forget the ice & heat.

My doctor said ice to ease pain and reduce swelling but heat can allow blood clots in the leg so no heat.

She's probably around 90% recovered, and we're just over five months since surgery.

The doctor and PT want my leg straight and flexible. Knee straight while standing is 0 degrees. Bent while sitting is 90 degrees. 2nd PT I was at 20 straight and 75 sitting down and bending. Session 3 was 16 straight and 81 bending. Thursday (session 4) I achieved 8 standing and 85 bending. My PT is very pleased with my progress. In a week we will start working on balance without my walker. Doctor will release me to drive in a month if all goes well. baby steps.

Well ALL RIGHT...and in your case especially, 'baby steps' does seem appropriate...

Day 6 of PT. Walked to the car with a cane and no walker. Did well today. Strenuous work but pain eased after ice and electrical stimulation at end of session. Walker has been retired.
