Knee Replacement Horror Stories
When it all goes wrong – and what to do about it.
We have found ourselves playing the role of the fixers for failed knee surgery recoveries. The surgeries are often times just perfect. It’s the recovery that has become the challenge. We share a few “knee replacement horror stories” and how these patients solved the problem below.
NANCY
Nancy (Vermont and Florida) was beside herself after a knee replacement. She was extremely depressed and it was getting pretty serious. Her sister spent many hours looking for a solutions and found X10.
DIANNE
From the blood clots, Dianne’s leg 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.” Dianne decided to get the X10.
MEL
Rehabilitation did not work for total knee replacement in South East Michigan for Mel. He tried the X10 Knee Rehabilitation machine and loved it two years after his surgery. He achieved flexion and extension goals on the X10.
WHAT IS X10 THERAPY?
X10 Therapy is knee recovery in your home under the remote supervision of a Physical Therapist.
The knee rehabilitation we provide centers on the X10 Knee Machine that we deliver to your home.
It typically takes 2-3 weeks to fix a “sticky” stiff knee and get you back to your life.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The X10 adjusts to your body. It feels your knee tension/tightness and helps you find the edge of discomfort but never cross the line into pain.
By working the edge of your comfortable range of motion, relentlessly, you gain incremental degrees of bending and straightening each day.
And you avoid setbacks as you never again allow your physical therapy to be too aggressive.
CAN X10 FIX YOUR RECOVERY?
Call Mary Elliott to find out. At any given moment there are many people on the X10 who are avoiding Manipulation Under Anesthesia or recovering quickly after MUA.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
The X10 is available in Michigan and in a number of other states as a rental. To get a quote click below.

Kathy (Avoid MUA) – I decided I needed to look for something different. I came across a testimonial. Someone had done this thing called the X10. It avoids painful physical therapy.

It ignited something in me which had been lacking for a long time, which was hope that there was something that could help me.- Read More

Learn from People Who Recovered After Manipulation Under Anesthesia (and skipped painful physical therapy) with X10 Therapy
Nancy (After MUA) – Depression. Frustration. Tears. The CPM machine had failed to help. The Biodex machine caused excruciating pain. The physical therapist (who was doing his best to be caring) pushed Nancy so hard, she had to “vocalize” her discomfort to the alarm of everyone in the facility. She promised herself that after the Manipulation Under Anesthesia things would be different. – Read More
Carol (After MUA) – Both of my knees were injured on 9/11. I was crushed in Tower Two when it collapsed. I had immediate surgeries, right after 9/11. And then with all the other surgeries and injuries, I was in a process of recovery for a very long time. In fact, I’m still in the process of physical recovery from 9/11. I have neck injuries, back injuries, knees, shoulder, and foot. This knee is a 9/11 injury that I’ve just been dealing with over the years. – Read More
Allen (After MUA) – Allen avoided painful physical therapy. Allen’s surgery by Dr. McLawhorn at HSS was spot on. No problem there. It was just the nature of his physiology that derailed his recovery after total knee surgery. But even after the MUA Allen was still stuck in the 70’s… at least in terms of his range of motion. He needed some help to make this knee surgery a success. – Read More
Robert (After MUA) – Unlucky. A dirty needle on a routine Cortisone shot. And then a three hour surgery to remove infection, a difficult rehab that ended up failing, and then a Knee Manipulation Under Anesthesia. Yet, you just get the feeling that Bob smiled his way through all of this… at least you will once you watch this interview. You will cheer for Bob like we did… and we were the ones who worked with him after that MUA to get him well and back to the sports he loves. – Read More
