Hello everyone.. Been almost two months since I broke my femur badly near the knee. I have been going to PT for over a month now and my range of motion just isnt coming around how I would like it. Any tips or stretches or anything I can do to get this knee working again??? Thanks!

Jeff,

Can't help much on the question but I sure feel for you. Hang in there and I hope you find some relief. Glad you found the site, a bunch of good caring people here.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Jeff..give me a call or PM me for more info...my better half is recovering from a double compound femur, so we may be able to give you some more info on what is working and what isn't! Hang in there...at first you were making major steps(ie. wheelchair to walker, walker to crutches, crutches to one crutch, to a major limp). After that, it feels like your progress stops and you aren't getting better. YOU ARE GETTING BETTER, but now it's baby steps. Don't give up, hang in there. It's going to take time!
