MISHA ROM advice?

Hi all,

I’m a fellow MISHA knee patient. Sounds like there are about 200 of us nation wide?

Curious if anyone has found that one particular therapy modality more than all the others has been most helpful in recovering best possible ROM, flexion in particular?

My full story: -MISHA installed March 2024 -Flexion always a big challenge. Max flexion post surgery measured at 114 degrees with a huge grimace on my face 7 months post op -I’ve done consistent PT 2x per week, Accupuncture, cryotherapy, rest, elevation, ice machine, compression, elevation, BFR, Voodoo floss, been really on top of diet -I just had an arthroscopic debridement surgery two weeks ago (12/2024). My surgeon said he removed scar tissue the consistency of bear meat around the device. Prior to scar tissue removal it felt like a steel cable below my patella preventing me from bending my knee -yesterday I went back for surgery number three to address a hematoma that formed in my incision that posed possible infection challenges

SO, three surgeries in my right knee this year (2024), I really want to make the third time the charm!

I’m currently using a CPM (continuous passive motion) machine and am flexing at 100 degrees 1 day post op. I’m still on the nerve blocker.

Would love to hear from others what worked best to recover flexion? Pain doesn’t scare me, but based on my lengthy experience since March 2024, I want to be very intentional about not overdoing it. I want a successful outcome.

So comforting to know that I can finally communicate with others who are in the same boat! We are rare birds 😃
