Thread: any one ever had arthroscopic knee surgery?

i had it about 3 weeks ago.. to repair a completely torn acl in my right knee.. just wanted to get some opinions on strenghtenening and such..

Nope. Not I.

Nope never had to get it, thank god. How did you tear your acl?

playing basketball.. i jumped to block a shot. and landed and it popped.. but it was 5 on 5 and we only had 10 so i kept trying to play.. and broke my tibia in the process. :sad:

I've never been thru that, but I had reconstructive surgery on my worn out elbow a few years back...Tendons and such..

Let me just say this, be patient, do as the doctors say, and go thru the tedious part of physical therepy....

It truly sucks at times, but in the end worth it, my arm felt 15 years younger after all was said and done...

Bad news is, now both shoulders need it and my other elbow..

I need a new trade.......Concrete just beats you up....

Good luck with your re-hab.....

ouch.. ive heard shoulder surgery is 10 times worse than knee surgery.. gl man

Your arm is feeling something 15 years younger in your sig! :wink:

I've had arthroscopic surgery on one knee twice and the other once. I never found them to be very bad. In fact, I was up and walking almost immediately and walking without cruches in about four days.
The rehad process is most just stretching to keep the pulcles from becoming taught. I think after each surgery I had about 3 week of good solid rehab with a trainer then did a lot on my own at home.
