3 weeks post op for tkr of right knee. Started out patient physical therapy and on my 2nd visit the therapist at the end pushed my knee so hard (even after I told her enough). Supposed to go tomorrow and I'm having 2nd thoughts. Anyone else have to tell their physical therapist to back off. I'm 65 and my rom was 93. I feel I'm coming along okay but am tired of un-necessary pain,

I'm sorry to hear this. I'll be 3 weeks post tkr next Tuesday and just had my first physio appointment today and was told that our bodies know when too much is too much and that when it gets to that point then stop and rest and ice if necessary. I'm no expert, though I've had tons of previous surgeries on this troublesome knee of mine prior to the tkr and was always told not to push through agonising pain and to go gently gently and to build up the exercises slowly. Good luck and I hope all goes well for you xxx
