SILKYSMOOTH Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well I had the knee op yesterday late-afternoon on the left knee (had one done on the right knee about 8 years ago) and so far so good. Had a really busy day working today and didnt get much rest on it but I know I gotta take it easy for a few days. Just so glad that I didnt have to have ACL reconstruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILKYSMOOTH Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Evening. Hope it will work out ok for you. Hope it isn't too painful. Thanks No pain at all luckily, I walked out straight after having the op, they gave me some painkillers that I havn't opened yet (and hope not to). Wouldn't mind having a look under the bandages though to see the scars, but I will have to wait until Friday. Unless I tear the stitches out from walking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILKYSMOOTH Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 My knees are fooked what do they do? Also what was the problem? Well the right one i did playing football 7-8 years ago, I tore 20% of the crutiate ligament and also damaged my cartilage and tore my miniscus, so they went in by keyhole surgery and snipped off the 20% of the ligament that was hanging off and basically cleaned the rest of it up with a drill and vacuum cleaner...lol All good again:-) The left one I probably did recently by overdoing it physically and I got a couple of bad flap tears of the medial meniscus, damage to the knee cap & the ligament was badly torn and ruptured (if more than 50% torn/damaged it requires reconstruction which is not nice and takes 6 months to recover) but it didnt require reconstruction thank god. I had Major swelling around the knee, full of fluid/blood, couldn't do much with it TBH and had to stop everything I was doing, Gym, Work, Holiday, Sports. The middle menisucus was completely shot, the Doc said, but it was my lucky day also, he said and I agreed Case like this, you are in and out the same day and usually recovery will be about a week or two, but you will have to continue physio for a while to build up and strengthen the muscles again. Not happy about it but it's done now and hope it will be better than before just like the other one with no scars either There are plenty of videos on youtube to see the procedure. I just got a few pics for a souvenier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
