Just had mua 3 hours ago. It’s 11pm U.K. time. 

I’m on a continuous passive machine last 3 hours and consultant ideally wants me on it for 12 hours.  I was at 30 degrees and apparently he got me to 100 degrees. 

I want to follow his suggestion but it’s 57 sec of no pain followed by 12 sec of serious pain. 

Any thoughts appreciated. 

FYI I’m 10 weeks from first op and had bad bleed at 10 days. Been very unhappy so I want to best I can
