p.s. over here they don't recommend walking with one crutch. your body posture changes, i.e. it leans over to one side which they don't like and say brings its own set of problems. they would rather you walk with two crutches for longer if needed. i no longer need to put a lot of weight on the crutches - unless i am very tired - they are more like stabilizers. but i like to have them with me, more respect from my fellow travellers!

any chance of you seeing your GP and getting referred for physio? The leg straightening exercises where you push the back of the knee down for a count of 5 or 10 are good for building the required muscle. Good luck to you Mary. Keep at it, you will get there love. Xx

Sorry to hear that you are in so much pain post op. Have you spoken to your Dr re pain meds? I am pre op and have had these pains and spasms since Jan. Got another pre op 6th Nov. I hope a new date isn't cancelled.
