25/08/14 Day 38 Post OpI have had a brief chat with my sister who is an orthopaedic nurse and say it important to keep on top of the PT to get the quads firing again.I do think my new Physio made me do too much in one session. I know he was overworked as he was overbooked seeing other patients while I was at the gym and doing 5 sets of 30 squats and leg raises 5 times was too much! Ending the session lying on my front and lifting my right leg right up to my buttock!I can take pain well with a higher pain tolerance and forcing my leg by bending it through uncomfortable pain was a bit drastic and less then 5 weeks post op! I know he was under pressure as he was going away on holiday on Friday as it the Bank Holiday weekend in the UK and does not like to turn away patients. It a great shame that my usual Physio is away overseas as he was less aggressive when I had problems with scope #1 doing friction massage therapy and massaging quads with oil and using a ultra sound machine with gel and not a full gym workout.I think many Physios out there do not know much about Arthrofibrosis and not to overwork the knee if the patient is prone to scarring! I think forcing my knee through the pain has not helped, I hope it has not caused scar tissue to return!Pain is more intense around the medial portal and my mum thinks I should see Mr Snow, I am happy to wait as I am visiting my sister on Wednesday. She is working next day at the hospital and could maybe could ask her OS during a break my type of surgery and brief history and my symptoms and if I should get it checked or will it go away with rest?nickwclarke2014BhamUK
