[QUOTE="Av Gorritt, post: 8121695, member: 2303"] I had a knee replacement done a few years ago . I went back for "after sales service " . He said that the ligaments at the back of my knee were contracting , and the way to counteract this was "sit on the floor with your back to the wall , stretch your leg out and put a 25 kg bag of potatoes on your knee for 10 minuted daily . " Honest ! Well I did that with a 25 kg bag of calf nuts and the pain was excruciating - actually bringing tears to my eyes at times . I persevered with it though , on the assumption that he knew what he was about . (He was the top banana at the knee clinic , and did literally hundreds of similar ops ) anyway long story cut short , it made a balls-up of the op , and I was left not a lot better than I was before . He went back to Hong Kong very shortly afterwards for a salary about 10 times bigger than he was getting locally . That knee is still slightly better than the other still , but I can't kneel down at all , experiencing really savage pain if I do so . All part of life's rich tapestry I suppose . I just put up with it now . [/QUOTE]
