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.
