9 week update

[slader]

I am doing much better than the 6 week update. I am at about 130 on the bend, but still have pain behind my knee. I am still doing pt at home as well as walking quite a bit. The knee gets pretty sore after the walk and it still pops when I walk. That is just irritating but not painfull. I only take one pain med at night now. I go to the doc 5-27-09 and am hopeing for a release to go back to work. Any comments about 9 week progress would be apprieciated. Thanks again for this site, it has been so helpfull. p.s ice works well after the walks.

Wow hope I can be near 130 at 9 weeks. I am at 7weeks and about 115. I get really bad pain behind my knee also, but the
therapist says apply ice to the back of the knee and that helps.
Do not have much in front of knee. I still have a problem with my
knee being stiff.
Good luck and hope the doc will let you go back to work

Wonderful report, Slader! It sounds like you are doing well. Loggon was absolutely right about putting ice behind your knee to help with that pain. Many people forget that the area behind the knee can swell too!

Slader I think you are doing terrific and as what was stated I hope I am at 130 at 9 weeks. Be careful going back to work dont over due it. You have come to far. Congradulations and keep up the good work............keep us posted ........Kim
