heyy so how long were you on crutches afterwards? hows the pain now? like today? did you get an immobilizer? thanks(:

@synchrolilie I was on crutches for about 2 weeks after this surgery but my doctor had wanted me to move quickly and that was actually too slow for him. I did have an immobilizer after and then I was switched to a hinged knee brace which they sent me to a prosthesis center for. Because of the atrophy and loss of range of motion I still get a lot of pain. Some of which is the result of bone grinding on bone but I'm going to be getting something done for that. It really shouldn't be too bad.

I have cancer and I have gotten many surgeries- they are not bad.. As long as your asleep

what was the surgery for?

[lmac424]

A lateral release is pretty much the worst surgery you can get. You're pretty much cutting healthy ligaments and making the knee unstable. Why do you think most people need follow up surgery afterwards?

Immobilizers are also terrible. All they do is make scar tissue build up and make you lose range of motion. My first surgery was a disaster because of this. For the second (a much bigger surgery) I had no brace and full range of motion right away.

@x13supernova13x I didn't even have the option of having an epidural, I was just knocked out. Sometimes I think if I'd had that option I might have taken it because it might have been cool to have been awake and watching, but on the other hand I'm pretty terrified of needles and probably would have just chosen to have a small needle in my hand for the IV than a large needle in my back for an epidural, haha.

@x13supernova13x I had three surgeries (fortunately one was only day surgery) and I must say, you're very brave! I liked how you were laughing when getting your IV; I think laughter takes the pain away! Also, I don't think you look bad when you woke up; the last major surgery I had was when I was 17 and I didn't wake up until about four hours after I was brought to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.

My doc said I might need knee surgery. Not looking forward to it.
