I am at 9 months post-op and I am -2 extension and about 95 flexion. My OS told me I won't have any more improvements and I could function with it. I don't believe this. I exercise everyday, ice, elevate, etc. I think he needs to help me. Making an appointment to talk to him again. I can't live this way. Anyone have this too?
Hi Anna,
Is it too late for you to have a manipulation? I am at 105 flexion and couldn't possibly function this way. I am 10 weeks post-op so I'm going to ask for a manipulation. So tired of not being able to move around that great. Let us know what he says at your apt.!
He mentioned manipulation and a revision. He was afraid of breaking my leg and said he used the smallest disk they make on my replacement. Anyway, he needs to help me. That's why I went to him.
You need a second opinion. I've had two TKR and am 23 wks. The first and 5 wks. Post on the 2nd. My flex ion is 125 extension 0, and 120 and extension -6 on the second. Please talk to someone else. I still have a month and a half of therapy left at this time and lots of work ahead, I know. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
Thank you sharron82840. I will call another OS. Will keep you posted.
I saw a different ortho today and I am having a revision. He was very positive and he said he could definitely help me. I am hopeful this will work.
