My flexion pre lysis procedure under GA was 70 degrees, prior to the MUA (3 months earlier ) it was 60 degrees. It is now about 96 degrees and the physio says that this is the best it can be. I get a lot of swelling after a day at work, and a great deal of neuropathic pain, I guess I am going to have to live with this.the lysis surgery allowed me to return to work after just short a year off sick. My journey started with a diagnostic arthroscopy 14 months ago. My arthritis was very aggressive and went from no evidence to stage 4 and eventually bone on bone in 9 months.
Hydrotherapy the water is highly chlorinated, and much warmer than a swimming pool it is like having a warm bath. Simply you excercise in the water. I had to wear a waterproof dressing over the sutures

@gator1965 Thanks for the explanation of hydrotherapy. I presume it is not like a hot tub, no whirling water. There is a hot tub at my health club but I tend to avoid it, I fear it might have bacteria in it and being immunosuppressed I have little defense against that.
