Quick flexion session in the morning. The knee felt better. I’ve started to notice a pattern: when I allow myself a bit more rest, I wake up feeling lighter.
Breakfast, kids off, then office time. Walking felt easier today, less heavy, less forced.
Later, physio with Cleyber. Pain around the patella was lower at first but gradually increased as more weight was added. We introduced a few new exercises and, more than anything, started testing the waters, seeing how much load the knee can handle now.
The knee still reminds me that it needs to be treated with respect. Progress is there, but it’s not a free pass yet. Flexion reached 142 degrees. Three to go.
Key Takeaways
- Rest directly affects how light the knee feels in the morning.
- Walking is becoming more natural and less effortful.
- Load tolerance is improving, but pain increases progressively with weight.
- New exercises = progress, but the knee still sets clear boundaries.
- Flexion at 142° confirms steady, measurable gains.
