Having problems with message search?
Had allograft on Jan 6- no complications, minor swelling, healed well! I would recommend it highly.
My only serious pain was the first night and I got that under control with percoset and tylenol.
Lots of PT (3x/wk for 3 months!) really paid off.
I am taking my first tennis lesson this week! (not ready to play but ok to hit with a pro)
Good luck- think positively and do your exercises!
