I am now 7 weeks post op and feel like I am stuck in a rut...I am still at almost 90 degrees flection and -5 straight. I have been in PT 3X per week for 2-3 weeks now. I feel like I'm at a standstill and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I see some improvements but they seem so small. I still have a little bit of a limp but the lack of flection is what has me concerned. My Dr was happy at my 6 week appointment & mentioned manipulation, which I want to avoid at all cost. I appreciate any help or comments you can offer!

Don't be frightened of having a manipulation though. Under general anaesthetic you are only out for about 30 mins, and the relief of being able to bend and straighten your leg again afterwards is wonderful. You may be put on a CPM machine, too, to keep it moving.

That does not make sense to me.
I have had many operations on both my knees including a TKR 4 years ago.
After one of these operations (not the TKR) I had a manipulation.
It was exrtremely painful when i came round but pain soon wore off and it was successful.
You sound about the same as I was at your stage.
I just managed to get to 90 degree bend for my 6 week post op appointment.
Keep up the exercises.
Take care and keep in touch
