ugh, Dana, so sorry to hear this. All I can offer is sympathy. Call or email if you need me, girl.

i hate to hear about the young, active, and passionate being messed with.
can't say much about frozen knees but you're now amongst the experienced in that tribe. injuries though....patience, persistence; healing happens and don't forget to love the hurt. you'll get back

YES! i have advice for you.

this happened to me in high school (sort of).

basically, i had to spend about a week in bed because i could not bend my knee. it was more of a mental block than a physical one--but the point is that you MUST BEND THAT SUCKER. dont let it freeze up--overcome the mental block, if you have one......

the physical therapist spends about five hours a week torturing me, bending it and jamming his knuckLes in The knee to break up scar tIssue and stuff.... so that i am doing, but am thankfully not bedridden. it is at 134 degrees of flexion, (during full on agonizing pain brought on by the pt bending it to that point)and i am supposed o have 160 degrees of flexion.... so it is a little better..... just having problems keeping the swelling down from the man-handling... that impairs motion a ton... but i work ten hour days on my feet - anyone know how to control the swelling in this circumstance?

IB and ice, I can't take IB because of the coumadin and I also spend lots of time on my feet but I wrap the ice around the ankle.
