Hello Justin,
Thanks for responding. This has been a totally unexpected problem. I had a knee replacement
last Feb. and I never got past 102 degree bend. I was managing but I never regained the activities I love. Now with this will my bend be even worse??? Yes, I have home PT and she gives me exercises to do. The ones with the bend backwards is extremely painful and I avoid bending my knee when I walk with the walker which I know I need to do. I see my surgeon on the 29th and my question to her and anybody out there with exercise and whatever else is out can I regain my bend???

Yes,
When you see your Dr. ask him if he can put you out again and Manipulate your leg. My dr had to do mine to get to the 115-120 degree mark. Just advising only!
