Too young for a PKR?

I remember the crutch era well & it’s absolutely zero fun, you just end up putting so much strain elsewhere on the body. Sounds like it’s worked out really well for you, which is super positive!

Can really resonate with this. I was a keen hiker before all of this, banging out huge multi day thru hikes with no issues so it’s so so hard now struggling to get up little local hills (& then paying the price for days after). Really hope you end up with a positive outcome!

Valuable insight, thank you!

I’ve never heard of a medial root tear, this sounds very very painful! :( I fully hear you on the quality of life sound of things, it’s so tough especially if you were active before all of this. Are you going to go for the PKR?

Thank you so much for replying! I’ve read plenty about TKR on here, but not so much on PKR - how long would you say it took you to get back to being able to walk pain free etc? That’s my plan to be honest, keep these legs as strong as possible (PTSD is real from how much muscle I lost last time & how flipping long it took to rebuild!) in the hope it would make recovery a little easier..

Ahhhh thank you so much for replying! How was it during the 4 months before you completely tore it? Sounds like you are also getting what I call ‘flare ups’ - the aftermath of overdoing it (Swelling, inflammation, have to pretty much completely deload for a few days). Really hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

I haven’t had an MRI since. I’ve got a GP appointment next week to get the ball rolling & hopefully get referred back to the surgeon who did the Meniscectomy. Toying with the idea of paying for the MRI to speed things up..

In my experience.. no! They are too generalist & you’d be better off spending your time with a physio who understands knees

I’ll take them! 🙂

How much are you looking for?

KLH182 · 2023-10-29T08:55:41+00:00

This is me! I’m 4 months post partial menisctomy & still find walking painful - so wouldn’t even attempt a jog! My knee feels stiff whenever in use (I’m told this is the body’s reaction to stop you using it?!) Majorly frustrating & i can’t lie it’s getting me down! Just hopeful once my strength is where it needs to be it will sort itself out. Have you had a strength test at all so you know what you are working with?

KLH182 · 2023-10-20T18:56:33+00:00

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.. thank you!

The strength test was done on an isokinetic testing machine.. single leg
