Default Day 8 - OUCH
The physical therapist came again today and after doing all my exercises she had me recline and checked my leg flex which was about 92. This was actually a regression from a few days ago.

I wasn't prepared for what came next. She manually applied pressure to the leg until I literally could not bear the pain any further. She did this several times, each time flexing the knee further. When she was done, the knee ( at least for the moment ) was at 105 degrees. The pain while she did this was excruciating.

I had heard from others that the physical therapy could be tough but now I have experienced it first hand.... and I'm sure I haven't experienced the worst yet..... to be continued...
