Week 2: Day 11 Patellofemoral Joint Replacement

 Saturday, 6/10/2023

I woke up in minimal pain. I divided my morning PT into two segments: before breakfast and after breakfast.

Before breakfast:

• 5 minute bike warm-up
• Sidelying Hip Abduction
• Sidelying Hip Adduction
• Clamshells
• Sit-to-stand
• Seated Hamstring Set
• Calf Stretch Using ProStretch
• Weighted Toe Raise
• Seated Straight Leg Raise

After breakfast:

• Weighted Toe Raise
• Seated Straight Leg Raise
• 3 minute Bike Warm-up
• Supine Heel Slide
• 15 minute Walk on TM
• Seated Knee Extension with Chair
• Supine Hamstring Strech w/ Idealstrap
• 5 min Backward Walk on TM
• Elevated Icing with E-Stimulation

After session1, I went straight to bed. I slept a couple of hours and basically did a rinse repeat, session 2, then another nap.

My second session consisted of:

• Calf Stretch Using ProStretch
• Weighted Toe Raise
• Supine Active Straight Leg Raise
• 5 minute TM warm-up
• Supine Heel Slide
• 20 minute Walk on TM
• Seated Knee Extension with Chair
• Supine Hamstring Strech w/ Idealstrap
• 5 min Backward Walk on TM
• Elevated Icing with E-Stimulation

Finally, I went for a 1 mile walk in the park. It took about 35 minutes. That was my longest walk to date.

I did not take any hard core pain medication today, but I was in a lot of pain. I took Celebrex when I woke up in the morning and two Tylenol. Before I went to bed, I took the same.
