      Thank you for the encouragement. This forum has helped so very much. I was very happy with the bend yesterday and the fact that sleeping is getting better. Just was a little down with the straight part. Not giving up though.

      you will, sometimes just sitting on the bed, on the floor, whatever, lean forward with your arms on your knees, lean forward and relax. It will straighten your knee(s) and ease any aches in your back.  Try to relax and it will happen

    My physio put me on static bike at 3 weeks post op...I thought she was having a laugh!! I started going forward slowly and back not doing a full turn, it took a few mins but I did do a full turn and went for 5 mins. I now use it 20 mins a day, I feel it really helped x
