Good evening @gobigred.......I was just passing by and saw your post. I especially noticed that you are still having a problem with swelling and pain. However, even with the Mako Robotic TKR, you will still have pain and swelling at 3 weeks post-surgery. What you might be missing is the complement to PT exercises for developing strength and range of motion and that is MFR ( myofascial release therapy) to help with the pain and swelling. I just completed my six weeks of post-surgery PT, twice a week for 6 weeks with a compliment session of MFR. That worked very well.

As the healing begins, the fascia surrounding the surgery can become restricted and require releasing. Scar tissue, which is normal after any surgery, needs to be manipulated and reduced. Let me know if you have any questions about this treatment. Have you heard of MFR? Would you be willing to try it?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
