Hello everyone!
I had a kinamed patelofemoral PKR on my left knee 4/24/24. They also scoped a piece of cartilage that had made its way to the back of my meniscus. They did a nerve block and that controlled my pain for the first 43 hours. Early yesterday morning I woke up in quite a bit of pain. It was definitely the worst day so far. Today I am slightly better than yesterday. Any movement is painful but especially if I bend my knee even a little. I start PT on April 30. Have been flexing my feet back and forth and moving foot around in circles at the ankle to try and keep blood flow moving. I did not anticipate this much pain to be honest. I am icing, elevating, and taking my meds on time. How long did it take everyone's else to move around with little to no pain? Any tips, tricks, or suggestions are appreciated.
