Ok so im getting it done in about a month. Has anyone had it? If so how much pain where you in from 1-10 before and after?
Over the last few months its been getting a lot worse....
Vid for the rest;
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery 5/9/08
heres advice coming from someone who has worked with ortho docs and dealt with this on a daily basis for 2 years. its 50/50 for immediate relief and 50/50 on long term relief. for some people, immediate and long lasting pain relief. some people get nothing. all its doing is buying you time until you hit 60 and have to get it fully replaced anyway.
also, the most important thing for you to do is the physical therapy afterwards and strengthen the hell out of your knees.
heres the deal, its worth it if your doc thinks it'll help you. it wont get any worse(rarely), it can only get better.
side note, crxvtec, you're either fat or overly athletic. howd you tear it up?
another side note, speedjunky, cpm machines are generally not used on scoped patients (generally acl's and totals)
