I have reached the angle of 120 on my CPM machine. I'm thinking this is a pretty big accomplishment, even though I don't know how high it goes or what I should be at. Just from what the nurse at the hospital said when I first started and my PT has said when she's here, I am doing great on getting to higher angles. But I do know I had somewhat set a goal for myself to get to 120. I met that goal this morning. No pain at all and it ran at that level for about an hour and a half.
When I go to the doctor on Tuesday, the CPM is one of the few things I want to check with him about. When the machine was delivered, the guy told me it had a scrip written for 3 weeks. So I need to check on how much longer I will be using it. I actually like it, it stretches my knee and feels good. Plus when I am done my knee is very bendable. The other things I need to check are how long should I be on it each day, and how how do the angles go and what angle degree should I get to. For now, my next goal is to reach 135.
