I really think if I can do that for 10 days straight it will loosen up my knee to the point where maybe I can actually ride the bicycle. I can get the knee around that motion, but it took 5 minutes of rocking it and pushing it and then forcing it around the top backwards, then eventually it loosed up to where I could rotate the crank reasonably smooth. That really surprised me today, didn't think it would be happen this soon at all. I thought it would take another 7-10 days to get to where I found myself today on that training bike @ physical therapy.
With a concerted effort from the therapy gals, maybe they can help you get it up to allow you to rotate yourself to get you spinning again.
