PT wasn't fun at all, but was necessary to rebuild strength and muscle in my thigh. I think recovery wasn't too bad, about 3 months? </p> <p>Wishing you a smooth operation and speedy recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417655 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:02:35 +0000 prettylizy 417655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer- surgery is never fun, but hopefully you'll be back in top form super soon.</p> <p>I agree with @Mrs. Blue: go for the extra Christmas pity full force! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417652 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:00:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That's what I'm hoping!</p> <p>@autumnlove: I'm sure he'll take good care of me, but I'm worried about him having to handle Miss Cranky Pants (aka DD) all by himself</p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: LOL - that would be a nice perk, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417631 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:53:58 +0000 Mrs. Blue 417631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!

But you will feel SO MUCH BETTER once it's healed up. Still, talk about sucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417579 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:38:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: That's good to know! My doctor didn't mention anything about PT but I'll definitely ask him about it at my pre-op appt on Monday. </p> <p>@boiledpnut: :-( That's no good - sorry to hear that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417575 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:37:13 +0000 Meridian 417575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh oh, will you need to wear leg brace and require physical therapy?! DH just had ACL repair surgery and the first few weeks were really tough! Not sure if what you're going to have is as bad, but hopefully not!! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417565 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:34:36 +0000 spaniellove 417565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: A 6 week recovery is possible! You can do it! Granted, I was younger back then but I was cheerleading again with a few modifications in less than a month. Did they talk to you about PT of any kind afterward? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417564 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:34:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 417564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you recover a lot faster this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417561 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:33:20 +0000 boiledpnut 417561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I wish I knew! lol! I'm not a runner and I don't exercise excessively. It keeps happening on the same side too, so I'm not sure what they think they are going to do next. There's only so much you can cut out, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417557 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:32:23 +0000 Adira 417557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yikes!!! So sorry to hear that!!! I hope everything goes smoothly and you have a speedy recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417554 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:32:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Thank you</p> <p>@boiledpnut: Oh no! That's what I'm afraid of. What have you been doing to need it 3 times?!? I actually can't remember if they stitched it or cut it, but I want to say they cut it. They're definitely cutting it this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417551 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:31:20 +0000 banana 417551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No fun! :( Hope your have a super speedy recovery! At least you can hang out on HB while you're recovering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417541 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:29:19 +0000 boiledpnut 417541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I completely understand that! I've had 2 surgeries for tears and am looking at a third. Did they stitch up your meniscus previously or just cut out the tear? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417540 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:29:15 +0000 spaniellove 417540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Is it your meniscus? I hope everything goes smoothly and your recovery is easy! I've had surgery on my meniscus years and years ago...no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417535 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:27:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: Yes, from what they could see it's just a meniscus tear, but they're worried about scar tissue build up from the last surgery. *sigh* Last time it took me 6 months recovery, but they said it should only be 6 weeks this time before I'm back to exercising like I used to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417524 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:25:33 +0000 boiledpnut 417524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a meniscus tear? I hope your surgery isn't too involved and you have a speedy recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/results-are-in-have-to-have-knee-surgery-#post-417485 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:15:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 417485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I injured my knee 11 years ago and had to have knee surgery. After that, I've been very active and workout *hard* 3-4 days a week. While I was pregnant, my knee started bothering me again, but I assumed it was due to everything loosening up. I waited to have an MRI until after I finished breastfeeding, but I wanted to get it done before the end of the year since I had met my deductible. </p> <p>Well, it turns out that I have torn my cartilage again and have to have surgery to repair it... NEXT WEEK! I wasn't really prepared to hear that, or that I would get it done so soon. Even though I've been through it before, I'm still super nervous and a little scared. </p> <p>Just wanted to vent - Thanks for sharing in my pity party :-) </p>
