What Causes Restricted Movements After Undergoing Total Knee Replacement?
11 weeks ago I had a total knee replacement. Therapy got my rom to 125 (last measurement ). And the rom was not by being pushed back. My knee just by me bending it..bends.. My leg bends well, stretching, sitting, everyway....until I stand up and try to walk. My knee will not bend except a little. Stiff walking with a stiff peg leg..I still feel a tight band along the outside from below kneecap to the top. The inside tightness is only half way up around my knee. What s up with this? Seems like all systems should be go..until I walk
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion bending and walking are stenous exercises for the knee, continue with your physio, see if you have any pain, continue muscle strengthening exercises, and wait for some more time, may be your symptoms settle. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health. Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
