I am now 5 months out ….I scaled back some of my exercise routine …. I go to pool 2 week I just started doing steps in the pool again ….I am slowly starting different exercises … if it hurts too much I back off don’t want to swell up again…I also do mfr twice a week …. I am starting back up slow and steady…. So far first week pain is minimal mfr definitely helping with swelling and tightness…. I am icing after mfr and exercise….I so enjoyed the bike but that is one thing I have to stay away from for now…before I did everything I was asked to do from dr therapist… now I feel need adjust my workout to my life …. the past several weeks I was only told to stretch which makes sense to get capsulitis under control….now I want to keep it under control and that means listen to my body …. My team got me to 110-115 I lost a little … but with all I have learned I am confident I will get it back …I must say again I don’t like steroids I won’t do again …. Caused so much pain when they were done ….I am writing this to help me remember where I was and where I want to be…. When I decided to get revision my goal was get to 80 well I exceeded that goal… my new goal is get to 110-115 and maintain it comfortably….

Congratulations on the good results. i am having TKR on my right knee on Jan 3, 2023.
You are a shining example of consist exercise and determination.

So about revision, I will be 11months out of tkr surgery January 2nd. Had a mua at about 4 month out, big mistake, took me so far back. My leg is not straight, can't bend well. WA
K with a cane. Hurt pretty bad most of the time. 8 months of thearpy and at home thearpy. Changed Dr's. He says he would do no kind of surgery or break up scar tissue for at least 1 year after surgery. He has moved a long ways from me now. And I havebeen sent to pain mgt. Jan.17th. Unreal. Would a revision straighten my leg, help my bend. I am my husband's caretaker, there is no one but us now. VA is sending someone to help next week with him if they will? So with a revision is it like having surgery all over again or is it worse? Thanks. I am so depressed. Never could have imagined this would happen.
