An update…..I went to the doctor today for my 8 week check on my knee. The good news…he is ecstatic at my flexibility of 130 and says it is impossible to do better than that…the bad news…I now cannot hyper extend like I could 4 weeks ago….So I have to work on it. He says much of it is from swelling…from OVERDOING…imagine that?!?!?!?
He said he would rather I overdo that not do enough….i am leaps and bounds beyond the others he operated on the same day. I do not have to go back until next april 27. He says it will continue to hurt for a year but will diminish with time. We discussed allergy to the metal...he said in my case he did not beleive it was an issue at all.
I have not taken the pain pills in a couple of weeks...just ibuprofen and tylenol. It still hurts...but it is better than it was.
So ……I am not jumping for joy that I had this done yet….but i am sure I will in the future.
