Manipulation machine

Since my RTKR in June, I have had a manipulation 6 weeks after my initial surgery due to my knee not flexing, I had little benefit from the manipulation . Now, my knee continues to be swollen, stiff and painful. It’s like I have a spasm that prevents knee to get stuck. My PT has written a letter to my surgeon explaining that despite my compliance and almost 3 months of PT I still am not making improvements in my rehabilitation. I see surgeon day after Labor Day. Any ideas. Comments?

lizzyisme. Did you have the machine while in recovery to start your knee bending?

i also did not have manipulation the first day. I worked hard on my own and with PT and i finally realized what i have is it. I have a lot of pain when i go to bed and in the am the pain is gone. I bike a lot which seems to help.It is what it is. I have found no one who has any answers.

@lizzyisme, you mentioned you were going to see your surgeon the day after Labor Day. If you are comfortable, do you mind sharing what you learned?
