Yes! I feel confident you will be doing great at 6 weeks! Congrats!

I think that’s unrealistic. Now the original pain is completely gone but all the soft tissue and nerve damage still has to heal. 6 months out and I’m 80% back to where I want to be. My surgical knee hurts less than my non surgical knee.

@@claudiocorleone7856 Two weeks out…wouldn’t 6 weeks be wonderful. I’m trying to be thankful just to go in the right direction.

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

I've got the same problem, I've always had good strong leg muscles through work and sports but found stretching after knee surgery a problem, its getting there and sure it will be better soon xx take care everyone xx

Amazing!!

So glad the videos were helpful. I was so apprehensive but it all worked out fine!

My surgery was Dec 2nd! Doing better than I expected 😁

@@debibrizendine8523that is excellent news!!

I had both of my knees done at the same time and I can't say that's it's been easy, but it will definitely be worth it when I'm 100% recovered! I'm 17 weeks post-op and constantly surprised at what I can (or can't!) do. : )

@ Thank you for replying. I am 17 days out. I could handle the knee, i think, but the rest of my body is so arthritic and tired. I thought I was doing great but tried to take a ride with husband just to get out and see life happening. I cannot sit with my leg hanging down…the pain became unbearable. Spending so much time on a wheelchair prior to surgery has made this a nightmare because my muscles are so weak. My knee was ready when covid hit, then THREE YEARS to get appointment. I’m just down, but I know that had I been walking prior, this would be a blessing. Walking without pain already is a miracle. Dedicated to getting flexion, only at 105 now. I still watch videos of those that have come through for inspiration. Have other done in 10 weeks. 🫣. Wishing all THE BEST of luck for a great recovery.

My hand was pretty good within 4 weeks but played piano scales and things to get it working better. Bending the elbow was the hardest part!

Hey, how are You now i hope you're fine me aswell had a surgery for a dislocated elbow it was so easy it didn't even need surgery but i neglected it for a month and a new bone formed there then the surgery become necessary now it become stiff it's been 2 months since i fall down i was playing football i put it in sping for 2 months fortunately the extending is improving but the flexion is not improving. My question is how are you now if you get your range of motion completely how long does it take.

@@samuellegesse23 Heyy mate. i too broke it playing football 🫡 let’s say i had 40% flexion and 60 in extension. This was around 3rd month’s update. Then went to a different doctor. He advised me to keep my hands open, extended while sleeping. That unlocked my 100% extension and 80% flexion within a month. Now it’s my 7th month, flexion is so close to 100 percent that no one could notice the imperfection but me. I would say it’s about 95% flexion now. Every morning i push it with the help of other hand. 5 times +/- The same doctor gave some medicines too.And that helped too. Remember every case is different. Especially when it’s orthopedic issues.

Depends - what does you PT say the results should be? It is different for everyone. Hope yours gets to where you need it to be!

Hopefully that will come fast now! Best wishes!

@@patwattam 🤞thank you

Months of Therapy - about 4 if I remember correctly. Good luck!

@@patwattam Thanks. My orthopaedic doctor reckons I might do it in a month or so. Fingers crossed.

Did they remove your radial head thats what they did to me 2 weeks ago

Sri Devi yes- it stiffens up after therapy but the more you use it the better it gets! Best wishes for a full recovery!

@@patwattam thank you much, Pat.

I felt the same way. It takes a lot of work and even after therapy finished I still had to do my exercises. Best of luck to you!

Hi.. (raindrops on roses) .. just wanted ask how is your recovery going.. I've had an elbow fracture followed by surgery near about the same time as you..I'm 4 months post surgery.. however my elbow is still quite stiff..cant bend it all the way..

So sad to hear this.....

Pillows - lots and lots of pillos!

@@patwattam and i still cant move my arm and wrist after the elbow surgery its like blocked and makes me so anxious im so young would it go back to normal??????

Poca Poca I would suspect so but therapy is the key - someone to manipulate the elbow to make it work. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery.

@@patwattam thanks alot

That's awful. Mine only really hurt during therapy. Wonder if there is something else wrong that needs to be examined?

varun krishna kyathanpally there was a mechanical brace that I also used and you could use it to bend or straighten the arm and lock in that position for hours to get it to bend more. You might try that.

@@patwattam Thank you for the advice. Will definitely try that. I have a doctors appointment this week, should see what's his take on that. Hope your suggestion works for me.

@@varunkrishnaKyathanpally how are you now Varun? Its been 2 months since my accident and my elbow is stiff, i am having physio i can get my arm straight at 20 degree and on the bend its at 85 degree along way to go but your symptons sounds the same as mine so much pain when trying to bend its like a brick wall, id bre grateful for any advice thanks [email protected]

I hope by now things are all better for you!

The doctor threaded my plate so the screws would not back out so I could play tennis. I am probably 95% and 90%.

@@patwattam but you're still unable to straighten your arm all the way only because of the hardware correct? That's my issue.

Metlupass2 I don’t know that. I have 95% straight.

King Bens23 it will be still for a long time - at least mine was. This was 10 years ago and today I don’t even know I ever broke it! Good luck!

Cristine Batalla I wish you the best! Lots of therapy helps! But I was so excited the day I could wash my face!

@@patwattam I dont have PT because of financial problems but I always do workout I hope I can touch mine also sooner

Cristine Batalla wonder if you could pay for one session and get a diagram or something of the exercises you should do?

@@patwattam I payed for the first session but couldnt afford next, soo I try to look some videos on KZbin which is very helpful on my situation. thank you soo much for your video it is very helpful. I have 2kls of dumbell which I always use everyday. my problem is still I cant touch my face like yours. can you recommend me any therapy that will help me in this situation?

Bilal Muzaffar months!!!!

@@patwattam like you had same case couldnt straighten your arm?i am trying hard but its very stiff from elbow area

Broke my elbow 5 months ago. I still feel like my arm is stiff as a rock. I can push it all the way out but it stops at a certain point where the pain is too much. When I let go, my arm.pops back up to about 20-30 degrees. My bending arm varies each day. One day I was able.to bend.it all the way and after that I was able to touch my shoulder without assistance. Of course I had to really use my bicep to touch my shoulder with my thumb but I was able to do.it. the next day, I couldn't do it again.

mamdo7 ali I did therapy 3 times a week with exercise to also do while at home in between therapy. Hope you heal quickly!

angelserenity lopez I have a threaded plate and screws. 6 weeks in is still pretty early. You really have to work at it every day. Good luck!

Do you still have your plates and screws until now? It is very hard because i had multiple injury. I broke my clavicle, elbow and wrist. Thank you for giving me hope!

angelserenity lopez yes. My doctor threaded my plate so screws would not come out and I could play tennis. Multiple injuries must be much harder. Wishing you the best.

interstategar omg this is so true the straightening doesn’t hurt but the bending is so painful

OUCH!!!
