110 degrees
 

110 degrees of knee movement is what you need to get up off a toilet seat.

Per my orthopedic doc.

So there ya go...

so, you got it or not? :p

He said, "movement", he, he...

Shux..

I thought this would be a complaint about the weather in LV or Phoenix...

people with longer lower legs require more movement.....

In some countries you have to actally squat on your ankles to use the facilities. I'd imagine that would require more like 180degree's of movement

so why do you get the chills sometimes when you pee?

I don't get chills when you pee. What are you talking about?

That's because your not holding your ankles.

I don't pee in the shower

I don't drop the soap.

So your sitting on the toilet ,and your urine stream will not reach the shower...yep ..that would give me chill's.
That is low pressure..headstud's going or gone.

As one who has gone through extensive physical therapy to regain movement in the knee, I knew what this thread was about before reading it!

I've spent the last day trying to straighten my leg out so I can put an immobilizing brace on. The ortho guy said it is a lot easier to get movement back starting from a straight leg rather than trying to straighten a bent one. I'm almost there...but I've always had really tight hamstrings so straightening my leg when it was healthy was a challenge...

And I can pee from the toilet to the shower no problem (prostate is fine). I just choose not to do so.

You need a higher toilet, slightly tilted toward the front. That way one could almost administer a dump with a straight line from ankle to hip.

Mike, it's time to call your doctor. :D

a *****'n train wrex I am

I always figured it was cause the water was cold...and deep too.

Old Naval Aviator joke.

You'll have to narrow that one down a bit...:)

As one who spent many months recovering from a very bad break to my tibia and fibia (foot as well), I sympathise with the knee issue...nothing hurt more than getting movement back to the knee after being immobilized for a time.

But, for the love of pete, buck up:D

I had ACL recon in '00, and re-injured it again 3 months ago. I fell your pain - literally.

So why you sittin' down? Real men go standing up. Even #2.

My Boy George would ***** while he was walking...

Did you mean "talking"?

Just looking for clarification......

Not if your tall.

My pee is gold.

Same here, it seems like a long road to recovery Todd but you WILL walk again. When I went back to work (construction) after having four pins in my leg the guys would all wince when I would jump off a parapet or ladder.

Dad wanted me to go back to work when I still had the cast on. :rolleyes:

"My pee is gold"....

Your real name is Midas?

For damned sure, recovery from a painful injury is never fun. Know what? Crazy at it may seem, all here are happy that you are recovering. Your compaining tells me you're making progress. :)

Oh, I'm not complaining





much






where's my vicodin?

Hey, at least you can pee from the toilet to the shower... Man, those jokes hurt. 40 years ago, I could pee up to a rain gutter. Now, I worry about getting my shoes wet. :(
