Hi All,
The missus has had her new knee for 6 weeks on Thursday and she is 'concerned' how fast it is (or isn't) resolving.
Anyone know a good place to ask for thoughts / opinions / feedback on questions like:
'Should I be able to straighten it fully yet'?
'Should it bend more than 90 deg yet ... and if not what can I do if anything to improve it over and above the (very) regular exercises and weekly physio at the hospital (and what actually stops it bending past
90 deg in the first place)'?Her hospital physio hasn't suggested anything is wrong (other her patella being stuck to a muscle) but the missus feels she hasn't seen any real improvement to movement since straight after the op?
Moreover she is getting ever frustrated that anything she does (re exercise) simply doesn't improve anything and simply hurts? There doesn't seem to be anyone to ask at the hosp and she won't be seeing the consultant again till the middle of August, all time wasted if there is actually something 'wrong' and something could be done about it?
All the best .. and sorry for the OT post.

p.s. She's a tough old thing (well not old for a knee at 57) but I've never seen her cry so much in frustration / depression over our 17 years as I have in the last 6 weeks and that's even living with me!
