Hello all.
I had left TKR 17 weeks ago, have had 16 sessions of PT, do daily exercises and have only got 8-67 ROM. I've had two reviews with the surgeon - first one suggested I might need "manipulation under anasthaetic" fairly soon if PT made no progress, second suggested waiting a year after the op to make a decision. PT have told me today they can do no more, and are likely to refer me back to the surgeon. I still get quite a bit of pain, but main problem is ROM - which makes walking uncomfortable and challenging. Just wondered if others have had similar experiences and - if so - whether you have any advice to offer. Thanks so much for this forum, by the way, a great resource.

I am 49 years old, and yes, far to young to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, wondering if it could have got better with a revision. Best of luck to you...

I can't speak from experience though. I used a FastTrack system from the day following the surgery. I wasn't given PT until 2 weeks after surgery. Only work was done at home. Ended up very successful -- Maybe pushed too much, but not to a damaging degree. the logic was to do the most work while under the most medication. 16 days -- 130 and 0. TKR at 70 y.o
