bad knees???

Post by seanmx57 »

So I just had my third knee surgery on my Right knee. switched doctors this time. The guy that scoped it this time has a book called "knee surgery the essential guide to total knee recovery"

I can't say enough about him. After doing the US ski team knees and other stars around here for years he went and got another degree in physiology. He was handing out a 160 page hand out to his patients before writing the book. It's current info, published in 2008.

He wouldn't even operate on my knee until a did a bunch of ROM (Range Of Motion) work and some strength work as well. It's not like I was in bad shape and really need the pre-op work either. I was doing pretty well considering my knee really need a tune up. It becuase the results are quicker and better. So afer doing the pre-op stuff for 2+ weeks I was feeling so good I almost canceled the surgery. He showed me the pics of the inside of the knee today. I had a bunch or work done.

If anybody has bad knees, the book is only $15 and worth every penny. Regardless of if you get em fixed or not I'd recomend the book. Just doing some really simple stuff while watching the tube can make such a difference.

Now I just gotta wait around for a month for my knee to heal up. I would have waited till this winter if I would have known that, the lst scope I had I was in the saddle in no time but the resluts were crap.

The book is by Daniel Oneill

The doc was tellin me about "new" things for knees. They have a injection that is like a lubricant to fill the void where there used to be cartilage euflexxa is the name. He was also tellin me about a surgical procedure where they can do some fancy stuff to change the weight bearing path from it's current path to a more outside path which will provide some more good years. I don't want a bionic knee till I hang up the leathers. I'm 40 and optimistically I'm figureing if I can make 65 or so I might have to buy a harley or somethin,
