My brother had it done cuz he still thinks he is 18 when he rides his dirt bike,,,, It was a couple years ago.
You will be back in action soon,,,, couple days after surgery was always the worst for me,,, besides the wanting to puke from all the crap they give you during surgery...

You'll start feeling better in a few weeks. Give it a month or so and you'll be getting around quite well.
I'm about three months post op on a full replacement.

had it done twice. Not a big deal. You will be normal in a month to 6 weeks. Just DO the rehab the way they tell you.
It is a walk in the park compared to open heart surgery, Now THERE's some pain for 6 weeks straight.

Absolutely right. You wanna be drinkin' the PT Koolaid! The rehab is hugely important to the success of the procedure. |
It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

Anyone else here had this surgery? How are you now?
The pain is 10 times worse than I anticipated.

Not exactly - just removed (with most of the cartilage). Need to get the other knee tweaked shortly... |

Yeah,
MCL, PCL, ACL, Meniscus for me. The meniscus came out during the PCL. Thinking that they are going to do something to that knee next year...maybe replacement?
just saw Mom Bomba today and she is two weeks out of replacement. She is walking way better than me after the patellar tendon graft and MCL and meniscus fix.
I think that you should be fine.
The reason that I am a member since April of 2001 (I had to kill my original user that I built in November of 2000) was because I was stuck in my house for two months during PCL surgery.
I bet John R wishes that I never blew out the knee.
