Now I have good update after 10 sessions of water therapy and 6 of mfr my leg is 12 which 5 is normal so I will take it…. My bend however went from 60 to 65 we have started focusing on the bend now last session very painful even my home workout painful…. I know every time I start new exercise my knee reacts and not well so I am just pushing through …., the tense unit is helping with pain and controlling some of the inflammation …. Inflammation is what has set me backwards every time in my recovery so far…but I am optimistic that doing all that I am doing in combination will be the difference….all that we can all do is keep trying

I am glad you have found a routine that works for you. I agree that each new therapy after surgery creates new pain - recovery is not for wimps, but the end result is worth it. I commented to my husband after one wrist surgery "Who knew that lifting one pound could be so hard?" But I got good use back, and the pain eventually went away.
My daughter, who is rehabbing from a really bad arm fracture, says she visualizes paddling her paddleboard again when she is fed up with her PT.
How do you reward yourself after a PT session?
