Almost 5 weeks post ltkr- post surgical check tomorrow- disappointed in my progress- wondering what others are doing outside of PT that are helping with pain and flexion? 9/1/26- so at about 5 weeks)
Hi all I appreciate everything. I’ve learned on here in speaking with others and reading. I feel like I’m progressing a little more slowly I did hit 110° flexion at the end of last week but I’m getting a lot of medial knee pain and tightness that’s limiting the flexion and then the day after PT I’ve been having a lot more swelling and my gait is off - causing hip pain and additional pain in my “good” knee- also a lot of fatigue and throbbing by the end of the day even though I’m limiting steps the most I’ve done is 1.4 miles total yesterday and I’m paying for it today😫-I had to go off of meloxicam because it was giving me really bad heartburn. I’m wondering if anybody knows if Celebrex or anything else is helpful for inflammation and what exercises at home have been useful?
