Great progress on my knee therapy.

[fancicoffee13]

I pushed into the pain and am making great progress now! I am looking forward to therapy now. I am at bending my knee to greater than 108 today. The doctor said he would be satisfied with 115, but my physical therapist said I would make the 120 with no problem now. The reason being most of the pain is gone and swelling is going down and the exercises are going great now. Thanks for all the advice and encouraging words I receive here!

A friend of mine is undergoing a great deal of knee pain right now (to teh point that she can't sleep) and her doctor has already informed her that surgery is not an option. She had had cortisone shots that didn't help. I was wondering of an external knee brace could help her.

Well, they said I would have to keep up the exercises for at least a year or I would go back to a stiff knee. Thanks for the input. A good way to start the day in exercises to keep the knee going. Will do. Thanks again.

I had cortisone shots, sugar shots, and lots of arthritus. You might get another opinion. I also tried knee braces but I would get another opinion for sure.
