    Re: leg folding

    what do u mean?does your doc say that you wont be able to flex your knee in future?Is that what u mean? i think you should continue doing physio and inform your therapist if its too painful.your problem is possibly because of immobilization.
    is there any other problem u have besides pain and limited movement?

    Re: leg folding

    Hi there,

    could you perhaps describe more clearly what is going on.

    The knee will take some time to gain greater range of motion. The ideal is to get the physiotherapist to take it to beyond range each visit, and do so in a manner that is aware of pre-cautions.

    You should be able to gain 90 degrees, unless it has been suggested otherwise?
