Saturday was pretty bad pain wise but got on top of the meds and got the knee moving, now set up at home with walking frame and stick. New best friends seem to be the ice machine, drugs, couch & netflix.

Thanks to Gadj & Kahuna for the advice, been very helpful in setting expectations and hints/tips. Despite the pain the knee already feels much better structurally than before. Doc was happy with the surgery, despite it being one of the worst ones he has seen, couldn't get the screws and staples out from my previous ACL reco but he believes it wont impact me going forward.


That's great to hear Dutchy.

I'm assuming he couldn't get that stuff out because the bone had grown over the staples and screws?

Keep up the rehab and enjoy the rest!

Not sure, he said he would try to remove if possible but think it was a bit tricky.

This is who I used - https://ahkc.com.au/doctor/dr-justin-munt/ mate of mine has his knee and hip done with him and my BIL went to school with him, cost a bit more out of pocket but I dont mind that when it comes to piece of mind and health
