    PKR Medial PKR Left knee, Tuesday 4th June

    Good afternoon Bonesmarters. I hope you’re all well. It’s been over a year since I last updated my “progress” following my Medial PKR in June 2024 2025 has been a difficult year with no real progress in my recovery from the pain in the outside of my knee, radiating from just under the kneecap...

    "Yes, patellar tendinopathy is one thing we see among members who do strength training - either in aggressive PT or on their own - too early. Sometimes, though, it really can simply be a matter of the entire body structure re-adjusting post op. And as there's no way to know, there's no point in...

    Evening Bonesmarters. Thought it was time for an update. Since my last post I backed off all weight bearing exercises, cut back on my static bike workouts, and generally took it easy. I also paused my golf club membership. Mid October I headed back to Portugal for a few weeks and admit to a...

    Thank you. It would definitely seem I’ve been overdoing it. I intend to back off the golf and lower body weight training. I’d be interested to know if people think light resistance pedal turning on my static bike would help or hinder my current predicament?

    Thank you for your sage advice. I’ve clearly been overdoing it, and will revise my exercise programme accordingly. Thanks again

    Thank you for your advice. I think I had some sort of misguided feeling that I could take the gloves off at three months, and am now dealing with the consequences. Time to reign it in

    Afternoon Everyone. It's a couple of months on since my last update, and I'm now just over 4 months post 'op. I had a great summer in Portugal working on my rehab, but as previously mentioned, I developed some pain in the outside of the knee around and below the knee cap. I'm still suffering...

    Hello from the beautiful Algarve. Been here since the 20th July, and in the gym most days either for weight training or knee PT, both followed with either static bike or cross trainer. Everything was going really well until last week when the knee startled to grumble. I’ve developed pain around...

    Good morning all. Six weeks Post Op today! I had my follow up appointment with my Consultant last week. He's happy with the look and feel of the knee. ROM is at +130 degrees, but he's asked me to keep working on straightening the leg as I have always had particularly tight hamstrings. He used...

    Discovered this forum a few months before surgery and found it helpful to read the varying accounts of people's recovery experience. I'm 68 years old and very active. My hobbies are Golf, Weight Training and Road Cycling, and I'd usually be doing one or another at least five days of the week. In...
