TKR :: Dynasplint To Help Knee Bend (90 Degrees)
Mar 2, 2016
I had a follow up today with my DR and I am still at a 90 degree bend. We had discussed MUA and I was hoping to avoid it. I have had 6 previous surgeries on his knee due to a car accident when I was 18, I'm now 46. My bend prior to surgery was 110, and I'm just hoping to get back to that and be pain free. My Dr is having me try a dynasplint in hopes to gain flection. I'd love to know if anyone has used it & what results they have had. For the moment, I'm happy to have dodged the bullet of MUA.

I have a sore knee, can not fully extend and it hurts trying to bent past 90 degrees. The back appears to be swollen. Suggestions? It started to hurt a little about a week ago and the last 24 hours the pain has increased... Almost feels as if knee is popping.

Had a tkr almost 5 weeks ago. Pain is tolerable, I walk without cane, do steps one at a time, drive but it seems almost impossible to bend my knee. My Physical Therapist is telling me I have to bend it. Help, is anyone else having this problem? Sleeping is not good, just can't get comfy with my knee. I can only bend knee 50 degrees.

I can't bend my left knee without excruciating pain. And when I walk - it's with a limp now. If I try to bend it - it is extremely painful until I raise it higher - than it will go all the way up. So in fact, I can bend it up to my butt, but initially it hurts like anything - almost like there is a tear or a part not working.
Has anyone else had this?

I have been to new consultant today. X ray ok so must be adhesions. As I thought. MUA is only offer so I am going for it. Really not brave so hope for the best.

I'm a 18 year old me female and last month I fell off of a quad and since them my knee hasn't been normal. I cannot straighten it fully or bend it fully, it doesn't affect my walking or anything. Sometimes, randomly, like when I move a certain way it goes out of place? Whatever it does it hurts REALLY REALLY bad 10/10, it almost feels like I can't move my knee/leg for at least 1 minute and then the pain gradually lets off and takes about 10 minutes to go away and be back to me just not being able to straighten it or bend it fully. I also can't put my body weight on my knee at anytime or it hurt. When I first got hurt falling of the quad I did go to the hospital because my mom was worried and everything on X-rays way ok?

I had a total knee replacement two weeks ago. Progress is OK though still very painful. I'm doing all of my exercises including trying to bend my knee. This is painful but also seems almost impossible! The operated knee is still about three times the size of the good knee and I keep thinking something will snap if I push it too far back! I'm left to do my physio until I get assessed by the physio team in six weeks' time. I can bend the knee about 50% at the moment. Any tips/experiences as to how long this might take?

I am now 6 weeks after surgery (TKR, right knee), and have struggled on and off with achieving a satisfactory bend since coming out of hospital. A couple of days ago I thought I had turned a corner and felt the bend was better, but now today, I'm back to square one. It is so stiff I can barely bend at all. I'm worried that my surgeon may recommend a manipulation under anaesthetic, but I'm really worried about this. Has anyone else had it done? How soon after your TKR did you have it done, and what sort of results were achieved afterwards?

I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow and yet to start physio! I hear from everyone on here about how good/bad their bend is how do you know? I do post op exercises each day and don't find them too bad pain wise! The one where you sit on edge of chair and slide your bad leg back towards you is easiest for me and I can virtually tuck my leg under the chair? Hardest thing seems to be straightening the leg but to be honest knee feels tight as a drum today and coping badly with sciatica as well so not feeling the love?

I am just over 5 weeks post tkr and I am really worried about my lack of knee bend. I have had difficulties with the exercises, the knee bend ones in particular, but I try to do something every day.
I downloaded the goniometer app today to measure my knee bend (I am based in N. Ireland and we are not given access to physio after leaving hospital) if I am using the app correctly it is telling me my bend is just 41°. I am now really concerned that I may have to have a manipulation, my first hospital appointment is not until approx. 12 weeks post op. Should I contact my surgeon now or keep on going with my exercises until my appointment?

I've long since been discharged by the surgeon and physio but I've NEVER had the bend measured in my knee so have no idea what degree I have.
So .... I Bought myself a goniometer off EBay, but it comes without instructions! I have no idea where I should put it on my knee (centre, top, bottom?) and can't find anything on an Internet search.
Can an anyone help and describe where to place it on my knee please?

Went to physical therapy today that darn woman bent my darn knee so I wanted to hit her lol. She says I have a 100 bend but I need more. I'm doing the lunges and squats backward leg raises what more can a girl do. I'm 8wks post op and was able to lay on my stomach last night for quite a while and finally on my sides as well. So the sun does indeed exist in the distance.

Tomorrow is 8 weeks since FKR and I'm still stuck at 88 degree bend and 4 straightening. On a everyday schedule little pain walking with cane some times or nothing at home. Go to therapy 3 times a week and it's painful only when they push to reach my bend. Is 88 to little at 8 weeks. Going to see surgeon today and I feel he is going to say manipulation is needed. Very scared please advice what should I do. When I had my first arthroscopic surgeries it too a log time time to bend my knee same for my shoulder. So I don't know if I'm just a slow heeler or not doing good.

I had right eye cataract surgery 15 months ago, but protein building required capsulotomy. Unfortunately, the doctor cut a square out of the back of the capsule with a laser which floated in visiont (duh!). Further laser blasting left lots of floaters in eye.
Today had Vitrectomy to remove vitreous and gunk. However, I notice now that vision in that eye is tilted 30° and shifted down from where it should be.
No pain or flashing lights. WIll be calling hospital Friday morning (too late tonight)

So I dislocated my knee in January of this year. I was given a device that isolates my knee cap and hold it in place. I wore the device off and on over the year whenever my knee would feel sort of irregular. I worked out routinely to help strengthen my knee, it helped the pain somewhat, but mostly just made me feel better about the way I looked, and kept me healthy. I haven't worked out since some time before Thanksgiving. Starting this week i've started to feel this new akward feeling behind my kneecap, sort of like the ligament behind my knee cap is tightening, sort of similar to how it felt when I dislocated my knee, but not exactly the same. I get the pain after fully bending my knee, for example when I am on my knees doing my job stocking shelves at work, when I stand to my feet I can usually feel the pain. I try doing a couple of different stretches when to make the feeling go away a bit, but it comes back, and then it eventually goes away again.
My knee "pops" (makes a loud popping noise and pressure) pretty regularly now but when I get off of work and off of my knees I experience the discomfort much less. I want to start exercising again on Monday, but I am scared I might dislocate again. I will try using the knee cap device again tomorrow, but I feel as though whenever I use the device, it makes my knee feel like jello the next day, and make me want to use the device again, even though I was advised by my doctor that I should not need to use it regularly. ....

hi I seem to have woken up this morning with what looks like an indent on the right side of my new knee. It was completely round last night but now has a dent in it. I am nearly 21 weeks post TKR. Anyone had anything similar and why this is?
