Day 14 (I think).
So it has been about two weeks since I had my surgery. Things still seem to be going well generally. I am really feeling my quads come back stronger. I think I could easily do 50 straight leg raises in one session.
Two recent developments were a little less positive. After taking a shower on Friday, I missed a step coming back downstairs. I didn't fall, but my crutches started to give out and I think I put a bit of weight on my bad leg out of instinct. No pain or anything and my wife thankfully caught me, but I have a little bit of nervousness that I might have jeopardized my meniscus repair. I hope not...
The second thing is that I am feeling new types of pain. I feel sort of a pulsating pain and tingling in my knee this morning from off and on. If I had to guess this seems like something to do with my nerves coming back? I expect this is normal but it is new. It has made doing my PT a little more difficult and perhaps delayed me phasing out pain meds now.
Another PT appointment tomorrow. I hope to have good news from that.
Thanks for reading.
