The PT is having me do some new exercises the past few visits, including the elliptical. I'm still having some swelling above the knee and pain when I stand after sitting for a period of time, but hope it goes away eventually. Ordered my Donjoy extreme armor knee brace that I am suppose to use for any future athletic type things. Sure will be glad when October rolls around. I'm hoping to be done with all this by then.

12 weeks post op!

Not much has really changed over the past few weeks, or so it seems. My flex last measured at 152 and hyperextention at -1. The doc wants my hyperextention to be -4 but personally I really don't care and don't want to go through too much pain to achieve this. The PT has me doing more and more activity with 3lb weights on the legs and the bike is now on resistance 6.
Still swelling going on and I've increased the ice usage but it doesn't seem to do anything?? Just have to be patient I guess.
