@SeptemberZen You are so right in everything!
I think the suggestion was that you took at least 2 weeks off!took a rest for a few days
And what about elevating and resting?I ice every 2hrs from between 40mins to an hour at a time.
These improvements don't happen overnight. Stop obsessing about them!I am getting anxious as feel I am not getting anywhere
Then you are doing far too much.have now started exercises as advised but knee feels tight and swelling seems to be going up and down from 40cm to 43cm around knee.
you are going to hit plateaus---you will have ups, downs, and some times where you knee just seems to tread water.I am getting anxious as feel I am not getting anywhere but keep remembering it can take 3 months to a year to fully recover.
Yes, I do---you have to take it easy and fight the urge to work hard.Do you think I may be over anxious?
I still am very active---but I used to ref college basketball for 17 years---I reffed HS and college football, too. I cycle 120-160 miles a week, and I still umpire HS and college baseball.very frustrating when you have been active all your life but just try and have pma and keep going
Yes---you cannot rush this recovery, regardless of how much you want to. If you try to speed things up, you will get nowhere, fast--take it slowly, and you will get somewhere, albeit slowly and in tiny increments.patience is a virtue
knee replacement 20th Feb. still quite painful big concern is that it clicks as I walk. Is this normal?
Wow I had clicking and Pop. They said not normal. Good luck.
