You need to contact your ortho right away about the decreased range of motion and pain that you are having!

Thanks Sara for the reply.  
i did talk to the ortho surg yesterday for about 20min.  he said all is normal.  Range of motion will vary from day to day.  
I have that CPM machine i am using.  It will eventually get up to 95deg of motion.  Then when i walk on it (my leg) it starts getting painful and the ROM goes right down.  I am suspecting that is normal too.
It has only been 2 wks since my manip so, i am on schedule it looks like right now.  
As far as the pain goes they just say to try to "keep ahead of it."  I do that for the most part.  To all reading this, beaware that painkillers cause constipation !!  You need prune juice or some other med to help in that area.  Believe me !!!!
