I was several weeks postop with bilateral knee replacements.  Rehab had been going well and I was at zero extension on both sides–then I took a major fall.  I tore my rotator cuff and twisted the right knee badly.  I developed severe pain and I couldn’t straighten it past 15 degrees anymore.  I saw ortho and physical therapy with no relief.  This problem really influenced my gait.  After my first visit, my knee was able to go back to zero extension again with no pain at all and my gait was back to normal.
