What has been your experience with manioukation under anthesia? Thanks.
Hi Jen. I was stuck around 85 degrees and got to about 100. I've had multiple surgeries (6) on this same knee due to a car accident, so nothing has been simple with this healing process. I was scared to death to have it done & it wasn;t a big deal. You will be really sore for a week & daily PT is inconvenient, but it was well worth it for me. I'm probably around 105 now & I am 6 months post op. What is your bend?
I had bilateral TKR January 20th and manual manipulation on both May 17. The surgeon took a picture of both knees bent to around 130. I could tell in recovery that there was improvement. I wanted to walk around the hospital because I finally felt normal. That night I was a little sore but less than before at bedtime. I started PT the next day and we measured. I was nowhere near 130 bend but about 117. I can almost straighten one of my knees and the other was close behind. I wish I had had the manipulation sooner.
Hi jen
I under went one 6 weeks ago as the bend was so bad and my life was miserable. I found it to be fantastic. I woke up and couldn't help myself bend the knee straight away. The recovery team in the hospital we're like look at you go. I had a fair bit of swelling but walked out of hospital. Hope this helps
