Yes, I was told the CPM's aren't thought to help with range of motion. I can only speak for myself, and in my case I believe the CPM worked well. I was fully recovered and back to my normal routines in less than eight weeks. I had scar tissue tightness for a couple of weeks but no joint stiffness and very little pain.
Yes, my surgeon gave me a photo of my MUA to keep as an encouragement. 😊
Have you thought anymore about a second TKR?

I have been researching the second knee. Locally I read with dismay the lack of good pain control measures. I will want a team that works with me as part of the team.
I had that but am reluctant to travel the +4h for the surgery all over again. I believe the disconnect of my care came after I was discharged.
My second knee is quite problematic. Perhaps a year from now? I can't imagine healing in the winter. I hated anything touching my incision (clothing, covers...). It will take awhile to work up the courage knowing what lies ahead.
