Scared of pain in PT

Posted by babette @babette, Aug 22, 2018

I'm starting outpatient PT next week ... I'll be 5 weeks out from a R TKR. Until now I've had gentle PT at home and I'm concerned about more aggressive PT being painful. I'm also concerned about it creating more inflammation and, in my case, scar tissue. Reasonable fear? Words of wisdom/encouragement most welcome!

@lioness While we are talking about supplements: after doing some research I started taking tart cherry extract. It's hard to know if it's helping because I take conventional anti-inflammatories as well. This is what I take: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TP54IFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, turmeric is excellent. I don't know if taking it along with tart cherry is a good plan, though! Must do a little more research.
