Knee surgery

[thekarens]

I had mine done via scope in 86. They also had to make a separate incision because I had a bone fragment floating around in there that they took out.

My lateral release was done because my knee cap kept popping off my knee to one side. It continued doing that even after three surgery, but not nearly as often.

Yikes! Glad it calmed down a bit - but 3 surgeries! My sympathies. My patella was very comfortable where it was, it was just a very long distance from where it was supposed to be and in a strange angle. Women are more prone to this than men because, I know it will come as a surprise, we are built differently. Now it is where it is supposed to be hopefully we can persuade all my muscles to work properly together to keep it there. Even today, from what I've read, lateral releases done through an incision rather than the scope typically have a better outcome. Except for when they don't, it isn't as predictable a procedure as some are.

Things are improving, I am walking more naturally now and driving shorter distances :-) Hopefully back to the office by the end of August!

Glad to hear you are moving along in healing. Hopefully, you are not going crazy with boredom.

Thanks! Knitting, reading, Netflix, seated kettlebell work and NOT THINKING ABOUT WORK is getting me through

How's it going?

How's it going?

Things are improving The knee now actually resembles a knee, and I can now walk for 10 minutes or so at a time, albeit slowly. I CAN walk longer but there are consequences. Hoping to get back to the office in a week or two as it would be nice to start returning to something like a normal schedule! Working hard on my PT exercises so I can get back sooner than later. Thanks for asking!
