swelling
So I got home tonight and took my brace off and holy crap my knee is almost as swollen as it was right after surgery. There is no pain or anything but I have no idea why it is so swollen. It wasn't like this yesterday. I guess ill just have to ask my pt guy tomorrow when I go. I hope nothing is wrong.

Hey there, I'm 1 week 3 days post op, my swelling is almost down. I've put this down to icing the op site for 20 mins after every set of physio exercises I do everyday. Flexion of 140 degrees but struggling myself with getting the extension, don't be disheartened, it will come with time!
ReplyDeleteMy extension got better today the PT had me sit down and put my leg on a chair in front of me he then put 12 pounds of weight sleeves (kinda like those ankle weights that you wrap around your ankles when running) on my knee and left me for 12 minutes. It was very uncomfortable but afterward I had more extension ill definitely continue this exercise at home. Good luck with your recovery keep my posted on how your are doing. Thanks for commenting.
