I am sorry you are going through this. Are you icing it as much as you can night and day? Do you have any symptoms of an infection? Night sweats, swelling, hot to the touch. The lack of ROM is one indicator. This happened to me. The first two weeks, I could bend it to 115 ROM, then it went downhill from there. I had the classic signs of an infection, and the surgeon dismissed it. Be your own advocate, demand to see the surgeon or the PA. If they won't see you, get a 2nd opinion. Best of luck!

Yes, I ice 2 or 3 times a day and no signs of an infection, night sweats, swelling or hot to the touch. I still don't have any pain either. I do my exercises every day and my flexion is 113 and 114. I talked to 2 nurses and 1 oncall Dr. and nobody seemed that concerned about it. So I decided to call the knee Dr. tomorrow and tell them what's going on and ask for an Xray. Just for my own peace of mind if nothing else. I will get a second opinion if I need to. Thanks for your reply!
