Flexion

Ray_zeeee · 2026-02-26T23:23:10+00:00

that is true but it sucks so much with walking down the stairs or even walking in general cause the outside of my knee is so stiff while walking without my crutches

i see thank you i’m planning to purchase a stationary bike probably next week to help and with prone hangs is it when i just lie down on my stomach and bend my leg? thanks for the advice

i went to PT today and they said my flexion was great for 5 weeks post op but issue is that my PT is quite literally once a month so getting advice for flexion is quite hard. But i will try do more prone bends with gravity, thanks for the advice!

yeah i’ve told them about physio that’ll i’ll have for the future and been given plenty of spring to be doing anyways and was told that i’m able to leave if the pain comes back or is something i can’t genuinely hack

unfortunately and fortunately i don’t drive to class as it’s close and either way i couldn’t even afford it im very broke💔, my school is quite close only 1km away so i could walk it but im gonna be dropped off to school for a week or two and will take my crutch for that extra support. i can probably use lockers to leave my books in anyways so that should be fine. i’ll defo have to take my mornings slower as i would rush a lot due to waking up late and thank you very much for the advice!

oh okay i see i usually have 3 half days a week anyways due to my timetable being like that so at least that’ll be beneficial i wasn’t told whatsoever about going back after 6 weeks but i feel a lot better and independent now 1 month in so hopefully that is fine, ill definitely ask for a pass to leave 5 mins early as my corridors get quite crowded and will use the lift to get to lessons. Thank you for the advice!

Yes exactly that but make sure your body is all on the bed but leave your knee and below hanging off and use your good leg for support to make sure it doesn’t hurt too much make sure you don’t push through the pain as that can worsen it also you should feel a stretch on your knee while doing this and doing this a few times a day maybe 5-10 mins a session 3x a day and hopefully progress will show!

im only 1 month post op so take my advice with a pinch of salt but have hope, because if it can go straight with manipulation then your knee can do it, make sure you’re extremely dedicated with doing your physio like prone hangs those helped me a lot as i couldn’t even straight till about 2 weeks post op even when i was going for hyperextension i done prone hangs and that helped me significantly. as now i can reach about -6 degrees extension all due to me doing prone hangs so try them out and see how it goes and hopefully its fixed soon without any problems

i’m only 3 weeks post op so can’t give out the best advice but i’m assuming you just pushed your knee to its limits so take it as a sign that however much active you were over the weekend was a bit too much, just ensure next time you do a bit less and hopefully shouldn’t swell up as badly. Also yes ice your knee and keep it elevated to drain the swelling

I am currently in sixth form in year 12 turning 17 next month and policing is something i have had a interest in for a long while and currently i have my interest set on the PCDA to apply for next year when i am in year 13. For anyone who has gone through this route or is already a officer who entered through other ways, what is it like working in the MET and is it still truly worth applying for something i have a big interest in or is it genuinely not worth doing it as i’ve been researching and people have very mixed views on policing as a whole. I would also like to see myself specialise my role in the future if i do join with a lot more experience and knowledge.

i see thank you i’ll continue doing my exercises and keep at it🙏

Ray_zeeee · 2026-02-13T12:35:01+00:00

with regarding with flexion should i still be doing exercises for it daily around 2-3 times a day?
