I don’t remember why I didn’t have a manipulation back 15 years ago but when I went back for my one year checkup he wanted me to go through 6 more weeks of rehab. I’m a Vietnam Vet and the 6 weeks of rehab was worse pain. A friend of mine who was once a PTA had TKR and just couldn’t get the bend he wanted. He said it was the best thing he has ever done. I’m stuck with a knee that won’t bend enough for me to drive our gator, sit in the stands at a basketball game without being in terrible pain even get up from a chair without pushing off. Oh how I wish I had been put to sleep and not followed the Surgeon’s thought I could break the scar tissue loose myself.
