I agree that surgeons need to listen to patients’ concerns and expectations. I am 5 months from my TKR. At 9 weeks I had stopped making progress and couldn’t bend past 95 degrees. I have been very dedicated following through with my “therapy homework” so it was not due to lack of movement. My PT consulted with the Surgeon’s office and they all agreed an MUA would be helpful in getting me to progress. The Nurse Practitioner at my surgeon’s office is the one who follows patients after surgery. She is very knowledgeable and responsive to patient concerns. IMy surgeon is highly skilled but I do notice thee surgeon focuses more on the surgery and then relies on her for follow up care. I am so thankful for her and my PT. I am now 6 weeks post MUA and can bend to 120. My indoor stationary bike is a key tool. I still struggle withe stiffness and scar tissue and my PT is addressing it with MFR techniques. My daily movement is still painful but much more tolerable my care team tells me not to worry as long as I continue to make progress. I’ve learned this is a long game and I have to work at this every single day. Don’t be afraid to question and be vocal. My best wishes to all for a healthy recovery.
