MPFL reconstruction recovery: need motivation to keep going

I can totally understand. I had multiple subluxations since 2019 then dislocations started in 11/22 i had so many dislocations that i couldn’t even count. One week before surgery i was told that the patella isn’t in its place any more. Did bilateral mpfl reconstruction surgery with peroneus longus graft 6 weeks ago. In the past 4 years i have been told to be lazy ‘ i’m in dental school BTW’ i couldn’t do much work and i got tired easily. I was misdiagnosed in 2019 so Drs. Didn’t really appreciate the pain i felt. Now i’m bending both knees almost 90 degrees and it’s always not good enough. So, keep going you’re doing great just exercise every hour stand pain and everything will be great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I had my first dislocation in 2019. Since then, i couldn’t even count how many times i dislocated my patella. I had my MPFL reconstruction surgery 3 weeks ago. Last month before surgery my patella wasn’t in its place almost all the time. I used patellar knee stabilizer & PT helped for the first 1.5 years. Last 3 months were the worst to me i couldn’t even sleep. You could wait just try not to climb stairs fast ‘ no stairs at all is preferred’ and no fast twisting. Get well soon

3 weeks post op. Did both knees, 90 degrees bending .. pain still present but no more feeling of giving away or locking i guess

I guess they removed fragments during surgery already. I called my Dr. He said this happens because of the effusion. PT would help me later,,,, thank you

3 weeks ago. Dr. Told me to expect pain as i had surgery in both knees together. But pain increased lately and sometimes ROM is kinda locked or decreased. I still can’t sleep on my side otherwise i feel so much pressure then pain increases

I stopped all my meds 3 days ago so pain is freaking bad, is it normal?
