I just had manipulation in November 2024 and it was covered by Medicare.
I’m still doing PT but am only 1 time a week now. I’m still only at 108 degrees bend but more worrisome is my extension of -11 degrees. This makes it very difficult to walk distances and my balance is horrible.
I do 30-40 minutes of at home PT exercises 2 times daily and ice the knee and use heat on the quad after for 10 minutes. I’m so tight and swelling is still bad, but I keep pushing hoping to see improvement. My PT said some will see improvement 1 to 2 years out. I guess I’m a bit of an unusual case per my therapist.
