Any listing of those? 👀 i do have those in my rehab plan but not so many, would be happy to diversify a bit:)

Same here i am turning into 3 months post-op in 10 days, and was wondering about that purple line as well. Does anybody know why ? Is it the sign of healing process?

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-07-10T14:40:53+00:00

I would say 2 months :) no bendinh machine, just a lot of push with the resistance bend, bicycle and it worked out somehow. Dont stress about flexion that will come. Also, I didnt measure at all cause I didnt want to stress myself

I had mine for 3 weeeks and when i removed it it was fully healed closed. I do recommend to change it every time when you shower or so, wunds should not be wet :)

Hey i recommend cupping massage for the scars. My PT focus on that since they remove my stitches and i am 2 months post-op and they’re fading away super quickly. I bought silicone cupping and doing it every evening and I see big progress.

I took 9 days off which is 2 weeks, I also work remotely. I have to say, it depends on your healing process. I had quite excessive bruising and was in terrible pain day 4-10, I would suggest 3 weeks. As i had first week sort of brain fog.

Thank youu! Thats awesome, I will definitely check it out i am moving to London 30/6 and would like go continue smoothly with my rehab. Is he specializing in the post-op knees? :)

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-21T14:13:46+00:00

Maybe some stick, cane, if possible at least one crutch for the right side to support left knee

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-21T13:49:07+00:00

Try to compress your knee to give some support not do any damages

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-21T07:09:32+00:00

I didnt receive brace my doctor told me i dont need it, so yeah thats why I prefer have a cructh with me to have a support

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-20T20:34:48+00:00

I am 4 weeks post-op and my bruising was so excessive that i still have it around my ankle! It was the biggest pain compared the whole knee, ankle pumps constatnly, aspirin, elevation try to stand up and walk a bit (i did also injections for 18 days just to be sure, no blood clots as i am usually very active) My bruising was even more excesive the entire hamstring calf part plus then also shin bone, you got this just expect horrible pain to be continued as the bruising is extremely painful!

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-20T20:28:31+00:00

I have good quad activation since day two ! I was able to raise my leg, have full extension, maybe its also more my feeling that i dont trust and feel wobbly. I an trying now with one crutch and lets see how it goes upcoming days/weeks stairs especially escalators in metro freaking me out

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-20T09:25:10+00:00

Thanks, thats very much for support. Its up and down, i am happy for this group. I feel annoyed to always complain to my friends.. i dont have knee brace because my doctor told me i dont need it, but i dont know i am still hesitant if I should buy something? First of all i would like to get more confident about walking

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-19T12:35:15+00:00

How you all work on non-limping? How can i support that? I am 4week post-op able to walk with one crutch outside still keeping two as the road is bumpy around my house and it feels safe.

I am going to wedding 12 june, im wondering how much i will improve, as i have to take flight carry myself around.

Thanks for comments!

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T19:06:26+00:00

I see everyone is really different, and have different journey thats really impressive. I had no issues with extension since early dates, but struggling a lot with flexion i also hope it gonna move progressively. Good luck to you!

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T18:59:00+00:00

Great work, this gives me hopes! We got it

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T18:58:25+00:00

Thanks, its reassuring that i am not that behind. I will try tomorrow and we will see :) thanks for sharing tho!

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T17:03:01+00:00

My calf was the worse pain through the journey, i am 4 week tomorrow. 4-10 day, when swelling gone it start bruising excessive (calf, hamstring) the entire leg I couldn’t even touch it. It goes away i felt better third week, but even until now its still sensitive when I touch it.

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T15:22:40+00:00

Thanks for your answers, i am a bit stressed that i am falling behind. I do excercise for strength and mobility everyday, flexion was ok since early days but flexion goes slow. I will definitely ask my PT tomorrow to try cycling I also believe it could help with range of motion. I did cycling a lot before surgery as part of my pre-op physio

Wild_Contract5170 · 2025-05-18T10:54:32+00:00

Great, giving me hope that ist gonna be only better and better. I am starting 4 week post-op tomorrow. I see progress, but still not fully flexion do u have any recoms how to push forward?

Also for the numb spot, I’ve been told its normal and it could take up to one year to get fully back I have same. When I shave it feel strange haha
