Update Week 4
Week 4 - Well I had my last in home PT today. I can retract my leg to 120 degrees; the Therapist can force it to 127 ( my maximum threshold of pain tolerance ).
Her assessment was that I am walking quite naturally now ( don't need the cane, but she still insists that I use it ).
Off all meds although I do take some Tylenol before my PT sessions in anticipation of her stretching my knee ( ouch ).
Only feel a slight tightness during the normal range of motion needed to walk. Although the swelling continues to subside, the knee is still not back to normal and does vary based on the exercises that I do.
Friday I will begin therapy with Florida Rehabilitation Specialists in Lady Lake. If anyone has had experience with them, please let me know..
The incision area and scar looks really good and continues to blend with the knee. I'm applying Maderma once a day to the scar to facilitate its healing. I'm also applying suntan lotion since the area is quite susceptible to sunburn.
