The day after Thanksgiving I was playing bball with my daughter. I came down from a simple layup and my knee popped out sideways. I hit the ground rolling, already knowing exactly what happened..
Mri showed torn acl and meniscus along with arthritis...
The surgeon recommended pt for a month and go from there.. I haven't called to schedule yet. The knee is still swollen all the way down to my foot. The pain is still at probably a 8 from 1-10..
With the pain and extreme lack of movement, is there much that the pt can do?
Other than ibuprofen and aleve, is there any rx pain pills that could help?
I'm getting desperate here for pain relief.. Walking is slow and painful.
I'm also dealing with a torn rotator cuff on the same left side.
Haven't been able to do any kind of workout since Thanksgiving..
Depression hasn't set in yet, but I could see it actually hitting me..
Working out and riding my mountain bike are my only hobbies and now I can't do either..
I'm turning 50 in a few weeks. Was really hoping to be in better shape on my birthday..
