Bad Boy, Knee Question?

[Bummer Knees]

I did make an appointment for next Monday with my family doctor, (osteopath) on my back. I am to the point where I need help to control the nerve pain.

Also any paper work this doctor produces will be used in court.

Bad Boy, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Your experience of the wc system and medical knowledge is a valuable asset to the injured workers of this forum.

Again, Thank you!

This really isn't a question, I wanted to give an update on my struggles with physical therapy.

I've been having problems with straighting and bending the knee. In the last 10 days I have gone from a -4 to a -8 on straighting my knee, physical therapy wants to see the knee a 0, which is a straight knee. Any less then 0 and a person has trouble with walking.

With bending my knee in the past 10 days I have gone from a 100 to 95, PT tells me at 6 weeks my flexion should be at 115.

I've been doing my exercises and working in the pool but just don't seem to be making much progress, very frustrating!

I've been told by different people to be patient and the knee will improve, and that I'm being pushed to much in physical therapy.

Guess I needed to vent, thanks for reading.
