Had a visitor today. It was a representative bringing the CPM machine to my place. CPM is a continuous passive motion machine which helps my injured knee bend so I can regain flexibility and decrease swelling. I get to use this machine for 6-8 hours a day for 3 weeks or I can stop when I get to 90 degrees
Side note: the machine makes your leg hurt. It is normal. This is the second time I have had to use this machine. It gets better. And a piece of advice: try to increase flexion by 5 degrees every day. If it hurts, go down 3 degrees. It took me about 2 1/2 weeks to do this.
