We are pleased to share this interview from The Bee’s Knees Podcast and KNEE RADIO 1. We share the account of Dianne Smith’s recovery after total knee replacement. Dianne avoided a manipulation under anesthesia after 12 weeks struggling in outpatient PT. Avoid MUA 12 Weeks Post Surgery

Dianne faced an additional challenge in that she had three blood clots in her calf when she started on X10. At the end the blood clots were gone.

Details in the article below and on the podcast. This is part two of a two-part series.

From the blood clots, her leg had swelled up. She was suffering from swelling from quite a long time, her leg was very tender, and wasn’t getting anywhere with range of motion. PJ on our team first talked to her just said, “Listen, whether you get the machine or not, you just have to stop doing what you’re doing. Ride the bike three times a day. Just stop this forceful stretching. This pain mechanism is not going to stop.” So she decided to get the X10.

Before she got the X10, she already had gained nine degrees from doing what PJ had told her to do. We were so happy. We’re all a team here, so we want the best for the patient. We were happy that she was able to gain that much range.

Dianne said, “I don’t know. I don’t know what happened. I don’t care how it happened, but they’re gone. My leg is no longer swollen. It’s not painful. I can touch it. You know, anybody, you know, my grandkids touch my leg. I don’t jump. It’s l like, it’s a miracle, you know? And she was so thankful of finding X10.

From Dianne’s PT: And we had our doubts. We had our honest talks about, “Hey, you know, I can’t promise you that this is going to get you to where you think you want to go, where want to be. But I can guarantee you it’s going to get you better than what you were.” I told Dianne, “You trusted that process and you did it!”
