I responded earlier. But I wanted to add: I used a (doctor ordered) electric knee bending machine. You lay your leg in it, and it bends it automatically. I know it sounds like a 'lazy man's therapy'; but when you're just too worn out to get up and walk around, at least you're doing something! You start out slow with it - with just as much movement as you can stand - and slowly increase to the limits of the machine. At first you will be able to only do just so much, then you increase the movement until you can start it at full range of motion as soon as you turn it on. At that point (about 3 weeks, or so, you are done with it. It is something that you rent from the medical supply store. They also brought me this thing that went around my leg, Velcro shut, and then inflated snugly. It circulated ice water around my leg/knee. It seemed to help with the swelling.
I am just letting you know these are available, if you choose to use either one, or both. What would the results have been without them? Hard sayin', not knowin'. But I feel they made a pissy situation, a little better. Matt
