gosh does that sound defiant!!!!!!!
For those of you I haven't bored to death I had a TKR 8 weeks ago and then an MUA 1 week ago. Due to an intolerance to the prescribed drugs my TKR leg seized up & left me with a bend of 10 and although it improved after the MUA (on the day) I left hospital with 70. I still havent had any physio input - just the CPM machine after the MUA.
Everything I read on here says how vital Physio is - I am trying to do it on my own but am I doing it right? I have read about soft tissue manipulation and went to that today - I now have increased my bend by 30 and without pain. I have received exercises to do at home.
I have contacted the hospital where I had my op and have spoken to the PALs team (patient liaison) and they are meeting me next week. Has anyone else done this and how did you get on?

I will post on here how I get on with the PALs people and their response, so it may be useful to you and others in the same situation.
I'm also going to see my own dr, regarding volunteering for clinical trials. Go on youtube I did earlier this week and gosh was I doing somethings wrong. I learnt today that icing your knee helps stop formation of scar tissue - 8 wks on.
Good luck - I hope we can help one another.
