I'm not using a Passive Motion Machine. My Orthopedic Surgeon is very adamant that he's not a fan. I think perhaps his thinking is that a PMM will make you lazy and unwilling to do the manual Physio. I like the concept of a PMM myself and almost rented one for a month. But I needed a prescription from my Ortho, and that wasn't possible. I'm working very hard at my manual exercises and they hurt like hell. Ouch!

WOW, sorry to hear your NOT using the machine. I stayed in my machine with both knees and increased the range when needed. Its not about laziness it about keeping that knee from stiffing up. No wonder its so painful without a machine I couldn't have done it. Hang in there!
