@ssbionicknee Things are sounding more positive, that’s great. I’m glad that the lyrica is helping. Hopefully as the nerves heal you will be able to discontinue it.
Your physical therapist sounds great, I’m sure the water will help a lot. I tried that once but the therapist was terrible! She would tell me what to do, which wasn’t much, and that would be the last I would see of her! I never went there again. I hope to hear how you are progressing with it.

@contentandwell My goal is to get to the point where I no longer need the Lyrica or pain meds. I wasn't thrilled about taking the Lyrica, but for now it is the only way I can get the range of motion back in m knee. It has also allowed me to cut way back on pain meds. I have to admit my therapist is awesome!! In the past few years, I have fallen apart and have needed therapy. I have been seeing the same PT for about 2 and a half years now. I trust him when he is working on my knee. I know that if I get to the point of agony he will stop and try something new. At one point he did tell me that therapy did not have to be agonizing, that there were many other options to try. The water therapist has been great, as well. There are 2 patients with the therapist and her assistant. I get one on one attention the entire time I am there. I am sorry you had a bad experience.
