I was actually better before the microfracture surgery but this clears it up, thank you. I had the microfracture 6 months ago. The dr said that he was going to clean things up. Well all he did was take all the cartilage out that was hanging. He sad I had 3 lesions, one in each compartment of the knee. He said he drilled a lot but I had way to much cartilage gone to graft. I was off my feet for 5 weeks then started PT. It was unbearable but I tried for 3 weeks then I was waking all the sudden there was pain in my leg. I couldn't put weight on it. Then he put me in a brace 4 weeks, tried therapy again for 3 weeks, then they tried steps. I had a LR because my patellas are off the xrays lol But it hurt so bad the PT told me to go home so I've been walking with cane.
Tried all the shots. Can walk short distance with a brace.
It's been 6 long months now I'm searching for an OS. I have found 3 not sure which one to go with - one does ingrowth no cement, one minimally invasive thigh sparing. I hope I can figure this out with your help
