Had surgery 4 weeks ago, figure 8 wire and 2 pins. Been in immobilizer since then. Started PT today.....passive ROM to about 10-15 degrees, plus some patella manipulation and massage. Did not have major pain, just uncomfortable and scary. He told me to ice when I got home, which I have not done in 3 weeks. After I removed ice, I noticed an indention that went across the top of my knee cap that appears to be about where my main fracture line was. There is also more pressure below the kneecap and like a bulge there. The indented line was not there before, as far as I know. So, I called and spoke to my OS nurse. She said I would know if a pin or something was coming out or if I had refractured it. Has anyone else noticed differences in the knee after PT....like lumps, lines, bumps that you hadn't noticed before?
