Just Had Surgery !!

[MudMan]

I just had my ACL replaced and part of my meniscus taken out.  Has anyone had this procedure done and/or does anyone know how much rehab I'm looking at.

1 reconstruct and 3 scopes on my knees.
The reconstruct you will be slow for 3 months but you need to get into PT immediately. The scopes are nothing, I was out on the boat the following weekend. Keep in mind that the Percocets helped me be able to take the bumps of the waves.
Did the DR give you the ice water machine to pump cold water around your knee? If so, Use it, It makes a HUGE difference in the swelling.

I had my surgery on June 10th.  Ya they gave me the cold water pump thing.  It was nice.  They had me bring it back already though.  The swelling is gone.  I start PT tomorrow.  And the doc renewed my prescription for percocet and smiled and told me I was going to need it.  I'm VERY active so this is killing me.

   Sometimes longer. Most surgeries take about 5 to 8 months. I just had neck surgery in March, still recovering. Good luck, hope you have cable!!LOL
