Good evening @martydav, Boy....that is discouraging. I am proud of you for being so accepting of the repeat surgery and your long PT. Have you asked your PT how long you need to accept pain and discomfort? I think I did about nine weeks of PT. I also used quite a bit of ice. That always helps. They have ice machines. I had one that I filled with frozen water bottles. Easier to work with than loose ice cubes. See if you can get a little more information on your PT progress and get back to us.

May you be safe and protected.
Chris

I asked my PT today and she said that I would probably have pain at least six months, but I’m in s category by myself having the same surgery twice so close together.
I just get concerned because PT makes the pain worse and am afraid of the joint getting loose again.
I do use an ice machine as well.
