Hi I’m hoping someone can tell me what’s going in n with my knee , had key hole surgery 9 weeks ago to remove cartilage and I had multiple micro fractures in my knee , I was told to part weight bare for 6 weeks ! I have done everything  they said , I’m at wits end with it , 9 weeks and I’m in pain walking I limp so badly I have to use crutches , I haven’t attempted to go back to work cause if I’m on my leg to long it swells above my knee so bad , I am a large lady 18 stone . I have been doing everything . I see the consultant next week . Iv has no pt it wasn’t offered . I lay in bed st night and it aches . Is this normal if so when will I walk again properly, it’s really depressing. I wish I never had it done at least before I could mange the pain and discomfort, but this is hell !

    Hi

    I am really sorry to hear this. I understand it. Lying in bed in painis so awful and depressing. You need to get yoyr painkillers sorted out. I now try to stretch my keg when in bed and use frozen peas. I hope you can get some answers. It will get better. I am meant to be going bsck to work in the next few weeks. Dreading it. Tske care and rest and stretch.
