The most recent surgery was arthroscopic, which is not routinely offered on the NHS.
I am working hard to keep the movement in my knee, yesterday in hydrotherapy I managed +5 -90 degrees. The flexion is the best it has been since the knee replacement in April. I haven't seen any improvement in the flexion over the last week, however it hasn't got any worse, so a positive I think! The stinging and burning sensation is still there, I guess I will have to put up with this for now. Not sure how long it will take until full movement is back, surgeon says 8 weeks, physio says 6-12 months. I still walk with a limp and have done for nearly 2 years, not sure how to resolve this as physio advises one way and the surgeon another way. I am so confused!
