I added weights as well, and bands, under the PT’s guidance. I too still have my spouse push my knee down every other day, as I never want to regress. When I didn’t do it over the holidays, I lost some progress and had to start all over again.
When reading, I extend my leg to a coffee table and put a 5# wt on my knee for 15 minute times.
I did use an ice machine during the night and after exercises for the first 4- 5 months. Really helpful for comfort.
Best wishes. Keep at it. Time is ticking for an MUA.
