90 degree rule lifted
Posted , 5 users are following.
Well you would think that would be easy but think they forgot to tell my body. I am 8 weeks today and after seeing my surgeon on Tuesday he said although I had to take care with some things I need not worry about the 90 degrees and indeed to encourage my body to go past it. Trust me this becomes a work out with muscles complaining, particularly the thigh and butt. Feel as though I have gone back a pace in my recovery. Quite understand why he said no to any PT. Must work on the given exercises post op until my naughty leg behaves the same as my good leg. Instead of doing hte marching on the spot I have to lie on back and bring knee up to chest (well as near as possible) and gently pull it down a little futher each day. Think he has turned into a joker!!! However after 2 days and 4 repetitions daily I for the first time did up my shoelaces - since my op of course, I could do them up before. Time now for a lie down with some chocolate.
Time scale for this complete recovery to normal movement 3- 4 months

I put my own socks & trainers on this morning & was then in too much pain to go to the gym. I wish I had some chocolate but I do have wine!

If I have learnt anything in the last 14 weeks it is to ask others on this forum as there is nearly always someone who can help.
