Thank you so much for this post! Please keep updating us on your range of motion. I’m six months post-op and my flexion before manual therapy is only 102 degrees. My PT doesn’t think I have arthrofibrosis because I got a few more degrees when they treated my keloid scar with kinesiology tape. But I’m seeing my surgeon again later this month to make sure and to get a renewed PT prescription. I particularly appreciated your comment about not pushing through severe inflammation pain. My PT had to tell me to back off because my AROM was getting worse from too much effort. My surgeon had scolded me to work harder when my AROM was too narrow at my six-week checkup. But my extra effort just made it worse. It’s so hard to find the sweet spot of effort. I also appreciated your comment about needing extended rehab. I called my surgical team to get a renewed prescription but they wouldn’t just do it and said I had to come into the office to be evaluated. Thank you again and good luck!
Thank you very much!
