Beginning to get frustrated!

So I am not 5 weeks post op and I am beginning to get a bit frustrated at not being able to run.
I have been going to the gym in the mornings and I see everyone doing cardio. I got asked to play 5-a-side football on Thursday, that is what I miss!

I am going swimming tonight, well I will be using my arms and walking, but at least it is exercise! I can't wait to be back running and in the gym properly, when you are not doing exercise there is always something missing from your life, well my life!

Going to see the surgeon a week on Thursday, I am hoping that I have the 70 degree bend that he wants. My friend here at work had his ACL done a week after me and he can already bend it to 100 degrees, it show how serious PCL and MCL surgery is!

not sure how long i have to keep the brace on, but is is beginning to get a little annoying having it on!

Week 4 - PCL Surgery - Scar healed and walking slowly

I had the op 4 weeks ago, it was a 4 hour op and I had a hamsting graft to reconstruct my Medial Collateral Ligament and a LARS ligament to reconstruct my PCL. I had it done in the Lister hospital in London, which was great, although quite expensive.

My knee is feeling much better, it is not that painful and I am able to sleep much better than before. I have flexion of 65% and I need to get 70% by next thursday, when I go back to see my surgeon.

I am still on cructhes and have a big brace on, so it will be interesting to hear when my surgeon thinks I can take the brace off. I know he wants it on to stop me going past 70% for a while. My surgeon seems pretty awesome, he take the time to write very detailed letters to me and he is excellent at explaining everything

I am now back at work and hobbling around! Getting into work by tube is not the funnest thing, but if you get in early enough you can get a seat.

My massive scar has healed almost completely, it will be interesting to see what it will look like in say a year, lucky I am not a girl or it would look pretty ugly.

I am definately interested in hearing from anyone who has had a similar op.
