oops..sorry, I wasn't clear... My surgeon is the one who "popped" it at my 4 week apt. I called him yesterday and demanded to be seen cuz of the swelling and...
I had reconstructive ACL surgery 5 years ago using the Patella. My knee still feels like there is swelling because it feels tight. There are times when it...
Well, after a week of intense icing and really working on the range of motion again...it's back to where it was before the pop. The general consensus is that...
I had my acl repaired with a cadaver graph in November. I really have no clue what was done to me, it all happened so fast after my injury. I am 36 and used...
Hi to you as well. My daughter in Nevada had the same done with her. She injured her knee on a run to beat the ball to first base . She is 39 I think. And...
HA! She sounds like me!!!! We have 5 children and I twisted my knee yesterday in an 'indention' in the ground. It is hard to look after the little ones with...
Dena, it would be a good thing, I believe, to have yours checked again and see if any damage was done. Something I read the other day, says that delaying make...

Annie, I can relate somewhat to your problem. My father had a knee injury 26 years ago and through the years at one point lead him to a fused leg. I can say...
Hey Corey!!! Just got back yesterday from my LEFT knee meniscus surgery. 5 days none weight bearing and then go back for post-op appt. He will most likely give...
Tonia, I have been lax in keeping up with the forum, so I'm not sure at this point where you are now. There are things called "adhesions" which are scar tissue...

Hello Mystic And Tonia, Hey Mystic, it sounds as though by Tonia's description that she may be getting hooked up to a muscle stimulator. I thought that it...

Kim, I'm only 11 weeks post-op with ACL reconstruction from my patella tendon, so I don't know about the long term. I also have some numbness on the outside of...
... Annie, I would opt for a patella tendon replacement from your other knee or a hamstring graft or an allograph patellar tendon. As Corey states, the "fused...
Tess, You don't mention anything about Physical Therapy in your post. Are you on a PT program? PT is a must to rebuild your muscles after surgery. I too, was...
Corey, Remember to take gelatin, if you can find it, or eat Gell-o. This will help the body produce the stuff it needs to keep the joint lubricated and...
