The Depot Steps Count Every Month Since My Operation

Beginning with how far the knee bends

The physiotherapist measured how far my knee bends and straightens. He asked me to stand, sit, and take a few steps. He checked the strength around the knee and my balance on that leg. He then set a programme that starts small and adds difficulty only when the knee allows it.

Steps, standing, and short carries

Our sessions borrow from my actual work. A low step, practised slowly with support nearby. Standing practice, shifting weight with control. Walking short distances while carrying something light in both hands. When the movement changes, the exercise changes in the same session.

Home practice on working days and rest days

On depot days I do a short set before leaving home. On rest days I do the fuller set, twice if the knee feels settled. I keep a rough note of the mornings when stairs felt easier. He reads that note before deciding anything new.

Medicines are not part of these sessions

Let me be plain about this. My physiotherapist has nothing to do with my medicines. I follow the prescription exactly as my doctor wrote it. He has never suggested changing a dose or stopping anything. That call, if it ever comes, stays with the doctor who wrote my prescription.

Progress goes back to the doctor who operated

After some weeks, my bending range and walking notes were shared back with my doctor. If the physiotherapist spots something that exercise cannot explain, he will refer me back instead of guessing. For readers checking other care options here, the general surgeon listings for Khulna are on DoctorBD24 as their own directory. My focus stays on the steps at work.

Is it normal for the knee to still feel stiff months later?

I asked the same thing. The physiotherapist would not judge that from a feeling alone. He assessed my movement and said such questions also belong with my doctor.

Do the sessions involve machines or special equipment?

Mine have been exercises and hands on guidance, using simple supports in the room. The work is practice and correction. Anything more should be explained before you start.

Should I practise on days when the knee feels tired?

I do a lighter version and note it down. Forcing a tired knee has never helped me. Tell your physiotherapist, and let the plan adjust around hard days.

Can I carry crates again as before?

Not as before, not yet in my case. I carry lighter loads over short distances, as practised. Ask before returning to your heaviest tasks.

What records should I take to the first session?

I took my operation related reports and my current prescription list. The physiotherapist read them before touching my knee. That order gave me confidence in the process.

What alarming changes should send me to hospital the same day?

Sudden weakness appearing on one side of your body means hospital today. Losing control of your urine or stool does too. If you fall and a limb refuses to move afterwards, go at once. Severe pain with a fever, chest pain, or breathlessness are also same day matters.
