I saw my consultant for the first time today post TKR. I am just over 7 weeks and have been worried about my bend that is just at 90. He was completely fine with it and said it will improve slowly over the next 6 months. He was keener for my extension to be 0 ( mine is 6). I had an infection in one of the stitch holes and have been on antibiotics for that, so he is reviewing me in 4 weeks. I have only just been able to lift my leg too so he is keeping an eye on that. I was so worried before the appointment that I wanted to share this with new people, it's a slow process, often with setbacks but keep going, as I will. He warned about overdoing PT and he said to listen to my body. I do my PT three times a day as I have not yet reached the top of the waiting list for PT exercise in NHS. I simply get assessed every time I go. Good luck to everyone with their recovery.
-6 to zero and +90 to +120...that's what you've got left. Piece of cake...just do the work and give it time. No problem. You've gotten this far...can't stop now.
That is great! Glad to hear it!
So glad you are feeling happier now Susie.
Your bend will continue to develop over the coming months, that's what I was told when discharged from physiotherapy. You need to concentrate on the extension & you'll sorted. You will do it.
Good luck
