How's your range of motion?

its been decreased since the surgery

before the surgery i worked myself to being able to grab my foot with both hands and pull it towards my butt..right now i can barely get it over 90 degrees..

Getting your ROM back is priority #1. Knee contractures are gonna lead to a world of hurt tryin to correct, or lead to more surgery.

General progression goes somethin like:

ROM stuff -> isometrics -> low intensity, high rep lifts.

But your PT prolly got this covered (hopefully).

Hope rehab goes smoothly.

good lucc and a speedy recovery.

i wouldnt start swimming until the stitches and stuff are heeled. im interning at a rehab center right now and they mostly have ppl do light exercises with weights but its mostly stretches. so be careful trying to rush bacc into things

by tje grace of god, this thing is healing well..

the incisions are starting to scab up and theres no pop snap and crackle...whatsk illing me right now is fhow weak it felt after i built it up to such strength before..

Good luck on recovery fam. When you get back, try yoga. Core and flexibility

Hopefully you recover some athleticism back.

I appreciate it fam..

if theres one thing this thng has taught me its to diversify my game

playing with a torn meniscus i could still put down monster two hands but my inability to go left was exposed horrendously in the only preseason game I played before I was shut down last year....Im really trynna come back on a greg monroe game, and i picked up some skills that will make that happen Insha'allah


another thing that has helped me is that I believe i finally gotr my diet under control..ive stabilized at 215 instead of going from 220 to 230 in a matter of days and weeks over the past year and my body feels comfortable with what its carrying..the ability to say no to certain foods especially foods that inflame my joints has been crucial since i gave up peanuts and milk and havent looked ack.


God has truly created all we need for physical success in nature and in moderation..we follow those two, our bodies have no choice but to respond to be the best that they were designed instead of artificially forcing ourselves into things whose impacts we dont understand in the short or long term

If I were you, I'd find a way to get a couple visits in. There's guidelines I could give you, but it's practically impossible for them to be as accurate as an in-person visit. Nobody can assess your tolerance over the internet.

I didn't feel like digging through my books for the EXACTs, and I already gave you a very very general idea of how rehab progresses, but a search and quick overviews came up with:

http://www.arizonaorthopedicsurgeon...ds/2010/11/MENISCUS-REPAIR-REHABILITATION.pdf

...which is pretty much what happens in clinic unless they're an athletic which speeds up recovery somewhat. I don't know what type of surgery you got or the docs prognosis, so all I can do is speak in broad terms breh.

This lady's blog might help. She pretty much walks you through her entire rehab (she also had ACL reconstruction tho , her rehab will be more aggressive/prolonged than yours)

Meniscus Repair « b-reddy.org
