Coming back after knee surgery

[fro60ol]

In June 2017 at that time I had a large loose body taken out along with a fix to my meniscus. was doing well for about two month post-surgery then started having issues again, locking, catching , clicking, giving out, etc. so I followed up with my Dr. and went for a follow up MRI. had that don in OCT finally was able to see home in NOV and he said I will need OATS surgery. he does not handle many OATS surgeries so he referred me to 2 other Drs. unfortunately neither took my insurance but I was able to find a Dr. that did. I saw him yesterday and he is recommending a MEGA OATS procedure. both the femur and the tibia are bone on bone.

I had the surgery March 8th Here are some pictures of the defect.

and I am finally getting back into the gym. Have had to keep things light and easy for now. Just wanted to share my story.

Wise choice. Im convinced as many injuries as ive had I have to do Physical therapy daily. and these are seperated from my training. 10-20 minutes on a bodypart is enough

I do do a lot of shoulder pt before warming up on back, chest or shoulders day, and light work so using this as a warmup saves time. I do it before a bodypart that day as well. Other times I just go into the gym at a seperate time , do physical therapy on a body part or two
