this entire ordeal has been like no other as it just goes on and on. I did write in a journal how i was doing from one week to the next. That proved to be helpful as I would forget. I could in fact see small improvements, so that in itself was helpful. They were small but at least I was heading in a positive direction.

I would not worry too much about having to take pain killers as long as you are able to bend and straighten the knee more and feel you are improving.
It does get better.
Take care

Much of what I read that is SUPPOSED to be THERAPY better classifies as ABUSE!
There is NO NEED to cause HURT and TERROR! I do NOT respond to so many of these "practices"!
It does NOT have to be like that. Praise and encouragement ALWAYS produces better results.
LOVE your cane comment!
