im having my acl,pcl, and meniscus surgery on the 30th lol :/

im in hospital right now on meds for this....its real painful but the docs are great.

only an hour till my next dose of morphine - woooo!

i had it done 2 days ago, on monday, and i came home yesterday, your right its pretty sore for these few days, i hope it gets better lol! i can bend it to 90 degrees now, thats as far as my brace will let me:P good luck with recovery tho:)

well this is live....but this really is disguasting0.o

i have had this done on one knee and im going in 2 days before christmas to have the other one done. i have always wanted to see a video of what was done to my knee and now...im not so sure i wanted to see that. but a least now i know what goes on.
the surgery really isnt that bad for those of you who are nervous its really simple and i had a great recovery from the first one and im hoping its the same for the second one.
thanks so much for posting this video!

Trust the Doctors and the Physios, DO THE EXERCISES!!! If it's too painful or you are worried about hurting yourself then all you have to do is phone them and ask if what you're doing can actually make your knee worse. They will usually say "take strong painkillers before doing your exercises". Don't let the pain prolong your down time! And ice definitely helps 100%

I had my op, was in hospital overnight didn't sleep all night just getting high on drugs by pushing the magical "pain" button. Could walk out of hospital without help the next morning, although slowly. Not much pain more than a few aches here and there. Amazingly at 12 days i had over 120 flexion and full extension! I recommend doing physio before the op, get a good surgeon and work hard after the op. Don't be scared, the worst part is when they pull out the drain tube, mine was 20cm long!

where the hell does the drain tube come out? xD im getting this done monday, im really nervous, is it scary? haha

Mate, i had this operation back on the 4th. my physio had me walking on crutches and doing basic exercises the next morning. i can now walk unassisted and will return to work tomorrow (16th). Pain has been more discomfort than pain, just don't be too proud to pop pain pills when needed. Good luck.

thanks! had it done on monday, went ok, im pretty sore now but its better every day! i have 90 degrees flexion now and thats all im allowed to do. im walking with crutches, weight bearing a little, just nervous to put too much weight on it too soon! i find it hard to sleep but the doctors definitely didnt prescribe me enough painkillers lol, im taking two anti inflammatories a day and like 8 paracetamols, but they dont help alot..
