I worked very hard for 7 months pre-op and immediately started PT post-surgery at a facility 3 times a week and daily at home. I could not get ROM and had to have an MUA. I lived with horrible pain and swelling for months and lack of sleep. I know I worked harder than most and the end result was still not wonderful. There are no guarantees and each person is very different, no common thread of if you do this you are guaranteed that. I am now in my 21st month of PT and still working. I never stopped.

I'm ver sorry Mia. My comment was too strongly stated and I should have noted that there are cases like yours, where a person does extensive pre and post-op work for a joint replacement and still encounters an awful result. Please accept my apology.

I am amazed and inspired by your dedication. You continue to work after 21 months of what has probably been hell. Good for you. Others will benefit from your story.

I do hope you find some relief soon Mia. And again, I am very sorry for coming across as unsympathetic to cases like yours. I did not intend that.

All the best to you.

Joe
