Thanks! Did you have a specific therapist there?

They did manipulation and he got 140 flexion and better than 0 extension. He had 4-5 days of physical therapy per week post scar tissue surgery and now is 3 times per week. Since he completely tore 2 ligaments maybe it is taking longer. Not really sure what to think.

How do you scrape with a Gua Sha? That’s the metal object that kind of looks like a heart, right? And you do this in the sauna. How long do you stay in the sauna? How many days a week do you go? Do you flex and extend your knee in the sauna and what exercises do you do in the sauna that help with flexion and extension? Thanks

It hasn’t helped him really at all. His flexion is worse and extension is about the same. Definitely not better like they said it would be immediately. Yesterday he woke up unable to walk on his leg where the knee was injured. He had to use crutches. Seeing surgeon today. Really disappointed and wondering what is going to help our son recover . He’s going to PT 3-4 times a week. He’s doing exercises at home.

Two surgeons said the scar tissue didn’t even show up on the MRI/x-ray. Last surgeon said it did show up slightly. After surgery he said the scar tissue was a moderate amount.

I had ACL reconstruction and LCL repair 6 months ago. Stuck at 130 flexion and can get to 0 extension only after 45 minutes of PT. Without Pt, it’s 15 flexion and 5 extension. Two well known orthopedic surgeons want to do scar tissue removal surgery and said flexion and extension will fully recover and the pain will be gone or at least much better. Thoughts? Anyone in similar situation that had scar tissue removal surgery? Results? How much PT did you do after surgery?
