Having problems with message search?
Thanks David. I go to the doc tomorrow to get the troublesome stitches out and will ask about the numbness. Some sensation has come back since my post. Did you use a CPM machine? I got to 90 yesterday I could really feel it. I am hopeful to get back to soccer mid-August. How did you blow your ACL, and have you gone back to the same sport (assuming that is how you tore yours)? I've had a few naysayers, but the surgeon, therapist and team are behind me 100%. The naysayers are the faces I see when the pain is excruciating on the CPM machine and will be reserved for future knee torments :-).

Carmel - You're very early in your recovery. The numbing sensation will
die down over the next few months, but it's probably a combination of
nerve disturbance/damage during surgery and the post-op inflammation
which may squeeze healthy nerve fibres. I'm 7 months post-op (same
repair) and I still have some residual numbness - may take a year or so
to get back to feeling normal.

used part of my petaller tendon to reattach since IMHO I would be a
candidate for a reaction using a cadaver tendon. My anesthesiologist
used a femoral nerve block, which I assume is customary, however 6 days
post-op my knee is still pretty numbed out (and swollen). No pain meds
since Sunday 2 a.m., but the incision and where the needle entered to
do the nerve block still sting.
