Unfortunately if you are reading this you either have issues or had issue…. I feel for all that are stuck in a world of pain with no flexion and limited ….
But I am with you and I want to thank you for sharing all you go through and been through…..some might know I have had tkr, manipulation next year a revision …. Now few years later still pain stiffness dr want to remove scar tissue …. But reading everything and knowing my body I am done …. We have to remember Dr they want to operate that’s what they do they feel that might fix things , that is where we come in do our research and know our own bodies….. now I try anything noninvasive, graston technique, mfr, sound wave therapy, always looking for new things …. But like I said moving for me best medicine until I am totally better from car accident I know not possible …..but someone said one step at a time they are right I hurt every time I go to gym I feel so much better afterwards… I am 62 I am pretty active right now I struggle to walk I find my right foot drag a little after while frustrating but I don’t stop lol …… I refuse to let this take over my life so each day for 15 min I put my knee over wedge which is painful as you know my flexion last checked 85 at my best was 100 but that was great …. It’s amazing what we can get used to hopefully pool help me get back to 100 after accident ……so find what works for you … slow and steady…. Dont allow anyone else to physically push on you ….. you know what pain you can tolerate and having someone else do it cause more scar tissue to form …..but do what you are comfortable with just my experience….

That last part- having someone push on you. Man, I did that 3x/week to killer pain, where I was literally banging my head on the wall beyond the table as they pushed. My spouse thinks that trauma added to my arthrofibrosis. I wished the PT and surgeon worked together. I had to trust someone?

Thanks for your encouragement and support! I feel for everyone who is having to deal with pain and stiffness! I'm remaining positive that I will get through this and have an ok quality of life! Praying for you and everyone else too!,💖🫂🙏
