hi me again. was just wondering if anyone has seen an osteopath for tkr ie massage etc and would it help as my knee is very stiff. im doing the exercises that my pt gave me but i pulled a muscle at the back of my knee the other day and its left me with pain and discomfort on the side of my knee. i was sleeping ok but the last couple of nights my knee wakes me up aching so much.

im 7 weeks post op.

any advise would be appreciated.

    HI Marian

    im 3 1/2 months since my PKR and the same thing has happened to me.

    I was told to stop excersies as I pulled hamstrings and knee would get stuck after sitting and had to walk out before it would release and straighten.

    Iv been seeing a chiropractor and after two sessions feels much better.
