Hey everyone, it’s been almost 2 months since my patella fracture surgery. At around 6 weeks my ROM was only about 60°, and then I had another small surgery to remove a wire because it was bothering me. Because of the pain and stitches after that, I couldn’t exercise much for about a week, and overall my ROM didn’t improve much.

I recently started home physio and my physio said my knee has become stiff, so he started patella mobilization and manual bending with more pressure. I’ve only been doing it for 2 days and it hurts like a bitch during and after the bending. I genuinely feel like crying sometimes. The next day I get really sore too, although I think my ROM has improved a little.

He said if this doesn’t work, I might need a CPM machine and honestly I’m scared. Has anyone used a CPM machine after knee surgery? What was your experience like? Did it help with stiffness and ROM? Also, any advice for handling the pain after aggressive bending sessions would really help.

Hey everyone, I had patella fracture surgery almost 2 months ago and my knee still bends only around 70°. It hurts a lot when I try to bend it more, and the area still feels stiff/thick.

Does massaging help improve knee bending and movement after surgery? Any tips or experiences that helped improve ROM and stiffness would really help because I’m getting worried about recovery.

I have PCOS and haven’t gotten my period for 2 months. Around 1.5 months ago I also had knee fracture surgery, was on meds, and mostly on bed rest.

A week ago I started taking 40:1 myo + d-chiro inositol (2 tablets/day) and 1 cup spearmint tea daily. Since yesterday, I’ve had very light brownish-red spotting/tiny clots only when I pee or wipe, not continuous bleeding and no major pain.

Has anyone experienced this after starting inositol or after stress/bed rest? Could this mean my period is trying to start?

I haven’t gotten my period since the last 2 months. I actually got a knee patella fracture last month and since then i have been put on some medications for pain and swelling and still going on. Right now i can walk and was thinking of when i’ll get my period. Do you guys have any advice on getting periods by doing any yoga or exercises which does not require much of legwork since i am still in recovery.
