The "MANIPULATION PROCEDURE"
Posted , 9 users are following.
Has anyone had or ever heard of a procedure called the "MANIPULATION?"
Apparently because my knee was soo trashed and had a limited range of motion going into my TKR 10 days ago, the Physical Therapists and Doctors aren't quite happy with my 10 day ROM of 68°
They're saying if i don't get to 90-100° in the next 2 wks a MANIPULATION procedure may be ordered. When i heard what it was i almost soiled my blummers!
They put you under (twilight sleep) and the doctor CRANKS on your leg FULL MOTION 😮 While you don't necessarily feel it while you're under, I've heard you wake up SCREAMING like some prisoner at Gitmo getting waterboarded or electric prodes attached to their testicles 😫
Has anyone or does anyone know of this procedure "MANIPULATION?"

1) my original surgery was an acl surgery.
2) my second surgery was a lysis of adhesion and manipulation was done on top of that.
That being said my rom improved, but still not good enough. My problem was with extrnsion, not bending.

Had TKR on right knee four weeks ago. Just before I go under Doc says he's not happy with ROM on left and do I want to do a manipulation on it while I'm out for the right TKR. Sure says I.
Post op didn't really notice any different pain in manipulation knee. Had lots of pain issues in newly cut knee so the pain meds most likely blocked any pain from the manipulation.
At home notice better ROM in old knee but still not great. I'm now having same ROM issues in the newest cut knee. Next week will be instructing Doc to proceed on manipulation on that one. I expect pain meds to deal with any pain and to get better ROM down the road.
I expect pain is manageable with proper meds. Good luck.

I'm assuming if they're going to anesthetize you, then you have to be in the hospital?

The doctor told be before the TKR surgery that i will probably have ROM issues because my knee going in was trashed, had limited ROM thus a lot of scar tissue.
Anyways they "upped" my pain meds yesterday from NORCO to PERCOCET and today's PT I gained 10° from 65 for the past few days to finally 75°! Soo that's great news. I'm very happy with myself.
The one draw back however was because i was really working it and writhing in pain my view of the luscious "twin towers" was a bit foggy:'( But i must admit it is soo exciting when she makes me lay on my back and throws my leg on top of her shoulder and starts to massage. 😮😐😆😶😇
