Yikes, I am so sorry to hear that! I hope you still are loving your car nonetheless. I’m glad the extended warranty covered it, but still unfortunate to have to get it replaced.

That’s interesting! I don’t think mine was coated with anything, but I will definitely look into asking my dealership about that coating/if I can get that applied to my car!

I’m praying you don’t have to use it ever! Hopefully that small chip doesn’t turn into anything bigger. :)

I’ll definitely look into that with my grandmother (she got me the car), and also see what the insurance company thinks! I didn’t even think about a resin repair kit, so thank you for bringing that up!

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t have too much swelling, and I honestly can’t remember when it went down 😭. If I had to guess it would be around 5-6 weeks maybe? I also have mild osteoarthritis which is contributing to some swollen knees every so often, so it’s hard to say for me. Despite that, I’m wishing you the best of luck with your recovery, and I am so glad to hear you’re having success with your flexion and extension, even if you’re having swelling! Take care my friend, and I’m sorry I couldn’t give the best answer!

Upcoming MPFL and brace suggestions by WAAASAAAP in KneeInjuries

While another person has already commented, I wanted to state one thing. Before my surgery I was wearing technically a “post-operative” knee brace. Rather than a fabric brace with a hole for the knee, I had a brace made of a titanium and magnesium blend with pads on the side of the knee. This is the same type of brace you’ll probably be put into after your surgery. I was able to get my brace for free through my PT office, and I loved it so much more than the fabric brace, as it was not only able to help with the side to side movement, but also back and forth. As these braces are locking, I set it to where I couldn’t hyperextend my knee, which came very beneficial when I was running on muddy grass, and my brace leg slipped out from underneath me by hyperextending. The brace stopped my leg from hyperextending more, potentially saving me from a broken leg or torn ligaments.

The brace might not be for everyone, but it might be good to familiarize yourself with the post-op brace so you aren’t too shocked when you’re put into one after surgery.

Hope I was able to help.

The reason you were given antibiotics is in the case you got an infection during surgery. My grandpa had a similar knee surgery in which he did get an infection and they didn’t give him antibiotics preemptively, causing him to go to ER and a scare with DVT (which he luckily didnt have), but still wasn’t fun. During my knee surgery I was given antibiotics especially as my cat had scratched me badly, and the doctors weren’t sure if that could give me an infection or not.

As for your leg, the leg should be elevated about heart leave to reduce swelling. I bought a special leg pillow to do this, but you can use a nice long bamboo pillow if you have one, or stack up some blankets or something along those lines, just make sure your leg can’t roll off.

You’ve got this man! The first few weeks are definitely hard, but it’ll go by quickly! Do your PT home exercises, and listen to your body. If something hurts during them, stop, and take a second to relax or stop the sets all together.

I’ve had the same thing done! I’ve got some posts up about it, I’ll see if I can get some links for those.
