Well it's now 4 weeks post op and been to second physio session I still haven't got the magic 90% but the swelling and bruising has gone down a lot thanks to icing and exercise. I managed 71% which is an improvement from 60% she said my leg is good straightening etc. I tried a pedal device and actually managed to turn it all the way round so I have just ordered one from Amazon. I am now going to a gym class at the hospital next week that should be fun !!! need to get this bend but as the muscles haven't worked properly for a number of years they have to be taught to work again. The pain is subsiding and have managed to reduce the painkillers quite a bit been a bit afraid to leave too many off just in case it comes back perhaps I am too cautious keep you informed Wendy

    Hi Wendy

    Well you know that sounds like you are doing really well!! A big iprovement on the 60deg!

    Cutting down painkillers and using a pedal thingy too :)

    You will get the magic 90deg or near enough l am sure. It's been ages since you ahve been able to use those muscles hasn't it?

    Love
