I've had two scopes on the right (Meniscus/Partial ACL and Lateral Release) and one on the left (ACL/MCL). The ACL/MCL and Lateral release were pieces of cake. Had surgery on Wednesday both times and was walking without crutches by Monday.
THERAPY, THERAPY, THERAPY like BK said.
Hey Matt, how'd ya like the "tests" the doc did on it? :bump:
Before my 2nd Surgery, when my knee started acting up, I was talking to my Godfather (Also family Doc), telling him about my knee locking up and giving out, knowing my history he said "let me schedule you for an MRI", got that done, He called me and told me that I had scar tissue buildup and a new tear. My original Ortho had retired so he told me who to go see. I set up the appointment. Went to see him. He put me on an anti-inflamitory (Relifin) and told me to come back in 2 weeks. Right at the 2 week mark I started getting bad indigestion. Ended up going to the ER in the middle of the night. The Relifin had eaten my stomach lining (Yes, I ate before I took the pills even though he said you did not have to). Also, his office had called a few days before and cancelled my appointment, think it was the day before the indigestion started. The following week when I went back after he returned from out of town he asked how everything went. Told him about the hospital stay..... "OOPS"..... Then he proceeds to ask my how my knee is, "still locking up Doc"........ "Well, I guess we need to schedule and MRI......"
My Jaw dropped, Uh, already did that before I came to see you, it in the file. He walks out, comes back in and and says "It must have gotten misplaced, Well, we need to operate, how does Wed sound to you?"
