Hi

I'm 4 weeks after PKR, 3.5 weeks since started walking (bad reactions to morphine).

I've been doing all the exercises and been at physio, but feel like I've hit a wall with knee bend. Am about 102 or so. Past few days feel like no improvement.

Is this common

    i am no expert and just hit the 4 week after op. was a bit dispondent until the last 3 days. do not get upset with your recovery. unfortunately you will have good days and then a bad day. i am now cycling, ....ouch, hard! and walking up and down stairs normally. lot ofthis is mind set, just do it as a famous advert says. no pain, no gain.
