Partial Knee Replacement: Post-op pain

Hi @l2consulting - maybe they don't prescribe PT for partial knee replacements. I don't have experience with partials. But if you are wondering or concerned, I would just go on the portal and ask your OS if PT might be worthwhile. Does that sound like something you could be comfortable doing?

Ah, most Doctors do prescribe PT, I had the Oxford knee replacement (partial knee replacement and underwent nearly 3 months of PT to the point I was tired of it and asked to quit PT. However, I had the sugrery in May 2023 and am not exactly happy with the results. It is difficult to tell anyone where the pain is, posterior knee, anterior right side of front of knee, etc. It seems to have its own mind on when and where to manifest itself re: the pain. I do limp when walking and find it difficult to get in and out of a car, cannot walk too far-maybe 1/2 mile is ok but further is somewhat painful.
I've been back to the surgeon three times and he think IU might have a torn meniscus and gave an injection and now I'm waiting on an MRI next week.
