Late Range of Motion Improvement?

Posted , 10 users are following.

I'm about 95 degree bend at 15 weeks. Straight is at 0. The going's been tough so far. My question is; realistically what kind of improvement (in your opinion) in ROM can I expect after 4 months? I've been working diligently daily but my knee is stubborn. Anyone have success with late success? At this stage I'd just be happy to be able to ride my bike and perhaps walk down the stairs.

    I was slow . . . and kept at it.  Once the swelling went down, I suddenly acquired five or six more degrees bend.  It's hard to remember when that was, but a LONG time after the operation!  don't give up . . I'm convinced most of us can achieve more for a long time, provided of course there is not some serious scar tissue holiding it up. I was stuck at around 90 for ages, but finally got to 130/135 (depending on the day!)
