Oh man, it was a long time.<br />Then I had to learn how to walk naturally use my toe to push off the foot. It was all very strange after walking with crutches for so very long.<br />I encourage you to read my blog where you think you are currently and see if it parallels at all. <br />We can do a shout out to Molly too. She can offer some words, I'm sure.<br />How are you doing now?Skinnygurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444331708624203612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672377744507232708.post-80421869517295486832010-05-02T23:11:56.893-07:002010-05-02T23:11:56.893-07:00Hi Skinnygurl,
Thank you for the support. I start...Hi Skinnygurl,<br /><br />Thank you for the support. I started physical therapy and now at day 53. I was able to get to 70 degrees of flexion after my 3rd session but I still cannot walk without an extreme limp. It seem that when I try to walk, my knee gets stiff when I step off as it trails behind me. I am sure several have experienced this. I am trying to stay positive and leaning towards trying to get more ultrasound and electrical stimulation since I have alot of scar tissue. Can you recall how long it took before you could walk without a limp ? Thanks for being here for me. It is good to have a place where I can share and ask questions.<br /><br />Tennis4ftennis4fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08392664916167410510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672377744507232708.post-41150774234635337312010-04-18T20:34:45.159-07:002010-04-18T20:34:45.159-07:00Tennis4f.

My son...absolutely - I can see that muscle working. <BR/>My son is now 5 weeks post PCL reconstruction and he had the closed manipulation you mention under general anesthetic a few weeks ago. Our experience is that this procedure can really help. He went from 87 degrees of flexion to 110 degrees of flexion. Best of luck to you.momofsprinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190720069280327786noreply@blogger.com
