No, I don't think so. I had 85 degree bend when I left hospital...that is a great start! Elevate toes above nose... getting swelling down can take several weeks, and when it does lessen then you really notice the difference. Best wishes! ?

This is going to sound very stupid...but what do you mean by "manipulation"?
Deep tissue massage? I haven't heard that term before and I'm confused.

Hi Kathleen,yes its scar tissue thats built up and stops the knee from getting bend so you go back into hospital put to sleep for ten mins and surgeon manoeuvres leg about to get bend hope this helps there's a short name for it MUA or MAU cant remeber which one lol
