I went to the physio today, my bend has gone from 96 degrees to 105 in two weeks.

I am so happy, I just wanted to tell someone who cares and who understands why I am so happy.

    We'll done Caz. Shows true grit. They should make a range of cards for us as we up the bend degrees. 'Congratulations you've passed a 100 degrees'

    Does it hurt to push it through the bend. Or is just uncomfortable

      No, Soobeedoo, it bloody hurt! It was my physio manipulating it that did it. It had me running ( limping) to the doctor for stronger pain meds. Physio got me from 90 to 96, then I did the rest. It made me laugh, he had to measure it twice he couldn't believe it.

      Im still exercising because he wanted to do it again but I said lets wait another fortnight and see if I do it. If not, it's more physio manipulation, and more meds.
