well this is my 6th surgery on my right knee since 2017&this is the 2nd time it's been totally opened back up!My surgeon had to cut into my qusd muscle,almost mid tbigh!So now he says with him cutting so deep &high up in tbe muscle it's going to take at least 2-3 full months b4 I can even climb one step!! To say I was immediately depressed is putting it mildly. Has anyone else had this issue?Ill be on crutches for at least 4-6 more weeks!Im only 49&wasn't expecting it to be this bad 😕😕😕😕😕

Hi there, im 48 yrs old & can totally understand your frustration as ive had 6 operations on my left leg/knee over the last 5 years.
my leg is now very deformed with my shin bulging after an osteotomy. I was doing well until i started to get excruciating pain in the medial part of my knee at night which is almost paralysing when it happens.
I can only say to take it one day at a time.
It probably doesnt feel like it but you will get there. Your body needs time to heal, be gentle with yourself. You will get there eventually.
