Stuck at 86° bend for 2 weeks..
Posted , 11 users are following.
Seen the doctor today because I have been stuck with a bend of 86° for 2 weeks now. I have a lot of scar tissue since the same scar has been opened 7 times. At physical therapy they put cocoa butter on it and took a hard plastic tool and roughed up the scar and then did the back of the knee also..then the did a mini manipulation, but still only got 86°. I have until the 25th to gain more, if I don't then I will have to have a real manipulation, with possibility of breaking my bones. Any ideas to help me increase my gainn in 13 days? I am so dissapointed I n myself that I can't do it. I ride bike, do stair steppers, use bands and so much more..please someone give hope!

If you read some of my earlier posts you will find I actually had a very similar story with my surgeon. When I was at 85 (about 3 weeks in) I was told I had to get to 100 in 4 days. af course 4 days later nothing had changed and I was told to get to 120 in another 6 days. I got frantic to say the least. Talk about stress!
I finally saw the surgeon at roughly 6 weeks and my bend was at 91.
He was quite happy. All that stress I had was for nothing.
We all heal at different rates Lori. Be faithful to your exercises doing the best you can and you will be just fine
