Physical Therapy Tomorrow?!


Question:

Physical Therapy Tomorrow?

i had surgery two weeks ago on my knee. i had a lateral release and a mpf ligament repair. (to stop my chronic knee dislocation and to fix my mal-aligned patella....

I am terrified of physical therapy tomorrow. I havent bent my leg in 2 weeks and im just soooooo scared of the pain when i bend it.

Anyone have any advice, your experiences. dont lie, i want the truth about the pain!!!


Answers:

i also had surgery on my knee, but to repair a partially torn acl. i was in a knee immobilizer (couldn't bend my knee at all)for 6 weeks. when i went to physical therapy they were very nice, and didn't push me to bend my knee any further than it was comfortable. they may use heat which will relax the muscles, making it easier to bend your knee. at first it might feel stiff when you bend it, but trust me, it gets better. Good Luck!
