Bones, joints and muscles

Hi guys thanks for all your replies it was really helpful but what a difference a day makes. I had my first physio appt yesterday and thry have you doing a circuit of recumbent bike, trampoline, stairs, treadmill, risimg from chair and leg straightening with weights. Today i am in agony and no painkiller is touching the pain ive tried all the usua things but nothings working and its so painful to walk on it. Should i just rest it today or should i continue with the exercises as usual or is this common after physio. Ive also read that heat is good for the knee but i have just been icing when is the best time to use heat.

Thanks.

Rest! Ice! ☺

Trampoline- you got to be kidding. Geez. I would rest a little today - maybe some of your balance exercises or some low impact. I found that PT just made my knee swell

More, which makes it near impossible to bend. It will get better but I am finding out everyone is different.

TRAMPOLINING???????  I really don't know about this aspect, but if it were me, I'd be wanting to check this out with the surgeon.  The thought of it made me feel sick!  It's normally heat before exercise and ice after, as far as I'm aware.  But just make sure you're not wearing that knee out prematurely.  It really might be fine, but if it were me I'd be checking it out with the surgeon.

Rest. Stretch only. I pushed many times after and suffered for it. You will still get better! Never slept well after physio as many as 3nights!

Omg trampolining ... this one's a new one to me lol

Sounds like you did way too much too soon.

Rest, elevate and ice ... just do gentle stretches and keep topping up your meds.

Oooh and nap whenever your body tells you to, it's natures way of healing x

My last message is being moderated for some odd reason lol

Trampolining ... omg 😲 

Rest, ice and elevate ... nap when ever your body tells you to. That's when it's healing x

Well i just hope that resting and icing today will help. I was starting to do really well with walking but since physio yesterday i now keep getting a stabbing pain on tbe inner side of my knee when i walk. I had this a couple of weeks ago but it went away hope it does the same now. Going to keep icing today and rest it and hopefully it will feel better tomorrow.

I would be in so much pain after physio. that I couldn't do anything for a couple of days .. it did get better after time . then one day the therapist leaned with all his weight on my knee . and I literally could not walk for 4 days after .. I agree with everyone else ..  rest and ice ..

Did it hurt when you were doing the exercises at all? Or was it something which emerged after?

Looking this up, it seems that some do recommend gentle 'rebounder' exercises, to my surprise!  There seem to be conflicting views on it, but certainly some believe it's good!  I hope you recover soon now.

Well, that sounds completely normal...unfortunately...  A lot of people experience that post-PT pain and head it off by taking some meds an hour before a session.  If it's an opioid, you can't drive yourself there.

All that work inflames the knee.  ICE...ICE...ICE!!!

Absolutely ice and rest!  Goodness trampoline?  I wouldn't be doing that! I'm very surprised that they include that.
