Thank goodness, I found this channel as I was three weeks out then. Now at 10 weeks, I did have the Manipulation (MUA). Very easy process and went from 98 to 127. On my own I get 115. Continue speak UP with your surgical team and PT. Utilize a modified version during PT to achieve the ultimate goal. We are all in the boat of recovery. Stay positive-u can do it! Thanks again Dr Sam for addressing everything one will need to be successful. Her method does work…
I have had 3 manipulations done on my knee.Still on bends at 63°.sucks

Thanks, I'll add these. Had my yearly checkup on my TKR March, 2024, doing better than good 😊
Thank you
I just wish the pain would stop.
I regret having aTKR
Actually I am frustrated too bec I had total knee repkacement. I am dissapointed😩
Keep exercising, and the pain really does go away. I'm 9 months out from my TKR surgery, and it continues to improve.
Two and a half years post TKR. Painful and barely 90 degrees. Sorry I had surgery.
I had knee replacement ayear ago n it hurts alot I had MRI done my doctor said that it look good why doses it hurt I have to go back to see him in a couple of weeks. I don't walk the same I feel like I'm higher on the right side were I had my knee replacement. Ty
Outstanding video, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
I had to have a manipulation under anesthesia, and when I came out of it, the next day after I was back to swelling so bad and it was so painful, I wish I never had it done. After that, I had 12 days straight of PT it almost killed me. THERE is NOTHING WORSe tHEN HAVING SOMEONE PUSH YOUR KNEE DOWN ONTO THE Table then move it to a bending position and push it to bend it as far as it will go. I hold on to the table, and it is all I can do not to s ream. Tears are running down my face. Then I go back to the surgeon, and he is just so defensive saying I don't know what is wrong with you I got to bend it all the way under anesthesia. Needless to say, I am 110 bending and about 5 degrees straightened. My insurance won't pay for any more PT and tomorrow's my last session. I can not tell you how much I want to skip it. He is going to want good numbers and will kill me to do it!❤❤❤😂😢😢😢
Is it best to do these stretching after you've iced the knee?
Thanks for the information and I had both knees done 6 months apart
I'm about to do the same thing. Just 7 weeks out from the first surgery. Scheduled the 2nd surgery @ my post-op appointment. How was recovery of the second surgery?
IMO..The success of TKR also depends on right exercise by Physiotherapist. Especially, in first 4 to 6 weeks after TKR. It is so important.
Finally the truth is coming out. I had TKR in February. After my first round of PT I limped out and never went back.
I wish I had known about scar tissue formation before TNR. I had all the symptoms you described from the initial surgery swelling, to getting "stuck" at 6 weeks, however my surgeon was reluctant to do MUA and wanted me to push on. Finally at 1 year after TNR I had arthroscopic surgery done on the front of my knee and went from 90 to 105 ROM. Today my knee still doesn't have full ROM and I still have tightness and pain, especially when going down stairs. Any suggestions or is the scar tissue pretty much here to stay? I still exercise daily and also walk to keep things moving.
Going luck , I'm 16 months our and lots of scar tissue .I feel therapy and the Dr failed me. I wouldn't allow hom to take me back in the or for manipulation
WOW, after reading all the comments on here about people not have a very good experience and or results of their TKR is very unfortunate. I had my right knee done 4 weeks ago and the pain is minimal now, maybe a 1 on the 1 to 10 scale ( still lots of swelling though) ....except when doing my knee bending exercise then it is closer to a 10 as I bend it as much as I can take the pain to get the maximum stretch. I am now at 125 degrees . Dr. Samantha, is it ok to force the bend like I am doing or is that not advisable? Thank you for your video, much appreciated by many :)
2 weeks out i could flex my knee at 110 degrees so relieved but pain persists whether in the knee or calf or thigh
I'm 7 months after total knee replacement and my knee pops every time I walk doesn't hurt but to me it's loud and annoying
I’m in the exact same position. It’s annoying.
My knee pops too !
OMG!! So does mine, and I agree, it's so annoying! I feel like it's so loud that everyone can hear it!
Good grief! Is that what i have to look forward to?? I'm 7 weeks post op
@@kathryn7780 Some people get the clunking or popping sound but not everyone. If you don’t have it now, it’s not likely to develop.
How would I know if I have scar tissue build up. I'm 9 months out but still have stiffness getting up from sitting position and going up/down stairs. I'm walking ok and my gait is much better, but the other issues are aggravating to say the least. I'm going to the gym and utilizing the recumbent bike but OMG the price I pay for that.....suggestions??? I don't go back to the surgeon until July. Is it ok to wait til then...
You’ll know if your knee is stuck at a certain bend and won’t go anymore. I’d really recommend my Knee Bending Course to help. It’s my best information and it’s very thorough. www.succeedcourses.com/Knee-bending-course
Iam 48 yrs old .5 months of Tkr surgery of left knee pain and unable to walk freely
5 months out also & pain has increased. Disappointing 😞
13 months and 3 mua 's after tkr. I have been told I have a problem with developing a LOT of scar tissue . After doing constant PT and seeing 3 different Physios I have given up as I am seeing no change only a 65 degree bend . My question is am I stuck with this now and just accept I have a straight leg or is there something else I could do .
The main problem was that I am on blood thinners and so cannot take any anti inflams so it just stays swollen .
Any ideas would be great. P.s I have tried elevation and ice etc . Like many others I now regret having this done at one point even thought about having below the knee surgery to remove the leg 😂😂 but soon came to my senses.
We suffer witj the same problem. I am 2 1/2 years po and barely have 90 degrees of flexion. The only thing is reopening and removing scar tissue at this point. Some of us just don’t have luck. Talk to your dr
Too late I been doing water aerobics it still want bend enough I wish I didn’t get surgery
I would love to contact you after my surgery, it’s this Thursday the 30th of May
Please feel free! My email is drsam@succeedcourses.com
@@dr.samanthasmith thanks so much. I’m kind of nervous about this surgery
I had operation 7 week ago and doing exercise my self so result not good and i don't have idea for scar tissue and now i have scar tissue problem my knee band only 86 . am so worried can you give some right tipes please . I am living in uk here not much facility for physio. I am only 56 and worries to much now .
Please please enroll in my Post Surgery Course. It will give you the exercises and stretches to do each day. It contains my full post surgery protocol. Www.Succeedcourses.Com/post-surgery-course
I'm 3 weeks post op and have zero chance of doing any of those movements right now. It's already too stiff and now I'm so despondent that I'm stuck for good. I'm in the UK and they are only starting my physio this Friday which is nearly 4 weeks post op and I'm not due to see the surgeon again until 6 weeks.
Please please get my Post Surgery Course. It’s not too late to improve. But we need to get you on the right program. Www.Succeedcourses.Com/post-surgery-course
Please don't be despondent.
I was in tears 3 days after my op as the PTs said I needed to be 90 before I left the hospital.
I was nowhere near that. I was 50 max.
I am now 8 weeks in and doing hydrotherapy which helps.
I exercise in the bath every day and use mini goals to aim for.
I use every opportunity as a bending opportunity such as lunging when walking up a step.
Bending slowly when sitting.
Don't get me wrong. I still have a way to go, but I take it easy and not beat myself up.
You should see progress.
And yes. My knee is still swollen with nerve issues.
Any idea approximately how long after surgery that scar tissue continues to gather?
About a year ago
Mine is 14months old. It means nothing can be done now.😢
@reenasrivastava516 so sorry to hear that. I wish doctors would be open and say, or provide a list of "need to knows" to tell everyone about the complexity and very long challenges with this type of surgery before they commit. We are not all athletes that are going to be walking, running, or playing sports to keep scar tissue from gathering in the coming years! I just wanted to be able get up and down from a chair, walk steps, hike regularly, perhaps some pickleball or mild sport, but not have to do specific exercises 3 times each and every day forever! This surgery has not been perfected yet! I wish the best for you. Take care.
@@RoseBudFC thank you so much
I have scar tissue, I've been trying to massage it as much as possible. The bending is my problem. It feels so stiff, I'm 5 weeks post op. I'm bending at 110
Unfortunately massage doesn’t break up scar tissue. It just make the skin feel loose. I’d recommend my Knee Bending Course to help you! www.succeedcourses.com/Knee-bending-course
I’m 7 weeks post up still at 110
😊
You are showing us exercises with a full functioning leg. Not at all our problem when so swollen and painful cannot bend. Be real
I dont have a knee replacement so that’s the best I can do. I’m sorry you didn’t like the video. I have other ones you can view.
