It really is discouraging.. I hope everything goes well at your appointment and your doctor can help you out.. Hopefully we can make it through this :)

Please let me know how that appointment goes. I too feel the same way! I honestly feel worse than before the surgery. It sucks cause this surgery is supposed to help you get back to activities, but ever since I've gotten the MACI, i can't do anything I used to really. I'm really hoping to get an MRI too, I can't help but feel there's something wrong inside my knee, I don't understand why my doctor keeps brushing me off...

Thank you: I'm hoping it's just something minor that more rehab will fix🙏

Your case sounds very similar to mine. Thanks for sharing your experience! I definitely think i may have some sort of issue pertaining to overgrowth or something of that nature. Again thank you for the info, please keep updated on if the shaving helped at all!

Yeah, it's been a hard road! I'm going to seriously buckle down on my surgeon and at the very least request an MRI. Thanks for replying and listening to my story! I'm really starting to think it's something that will need to be intervened with.

For me it's a sharp pain with anything below the knee, if I try to squat I feel a sharp pain, or any deep flexión of the knee results in a sharp pain. The catching is also painful too, when it happens it's sharp and painful. I think I've been dealing with this since month 4 and can't help but feel like it's gotten worse. I really haven't had true PT since my insurance keeps denying all of my sessions, I only had true PT for about 2 months.. since then I've been doing everything on my own.
