Have you ever broken your knee?

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. A month ago I broke my knee....(tibial plateau fracture) which basically means the top of my tibia smashed to pieces. I also tore a ligament in my foot too.

I have a plaster cast on my ankle for the torn ligament. As for the knee injury, I had reconstructive surgery and have a metal plate holding it together.

They gave me a hinged knee brace unlocked at 90°, it's very uncomfortable to wear and is getting heavier due to loss of muscle mass. My knee is very sore due to the tendons getting tighter

The advice I'm looking for is can I do stretching exercises to stop it from ceasing up completely and if so what kind of exercising

Also how did you cope with the other aches and pains from lying down all the time? I can lay on my right side and my back. I can lay on my left but it quickly becomes uncomfortable. I do venture down stairs from time to time but spend the whole time fidgeting as I can't get comfy

Any after care advice will be most welcome

This sounds like something you should speak to your doctor/ surgeon/ physio about, and not a bunch of random people on the internet

Are you due to have any physio? I would think you would be and they will show you the best excercises and stretches to do at home. Might be worth chasing up if you haven't heard anything about it.

Yes I broke my tibia last year and still struggling with it now. I had surgery with a external fixator fixed on it for 3 months. It took me ages to walk and I'm still on one crutch now. Have you done all your physio?

I haven't been given any physio dates at all. I was in hospital for 12 days, had an outpatients appointment a week after been discharged, which was when they unlocked it, then was told to go back in 6 weeks

Don't do anything until advised by your surgeon, they really do know best.

Nope, but I did tear the ligaments in my right knee when I was 12. It was the single most painful thing that I've ever experienced.
