yorkshirelad, good news that your knee us stronger. Hopefully physio will help you manage the swelling.
I've been off games for 3 weeks as my knee flared up to the degree I could hardly walk more than 100 yards. Still going to physio so was able to put strategies in place to recover. ..seems to have been meniscus, which I ruptured, inflammation. Hopefully back to exercise this Thursday.
Let us know how you get on

Ouch. That must be very discouraging after all the work you've put in, holidayloverxx. Hope it settles down quickly.

yorkshirelad, my meniscus rupture was at the time of the fracture. It was tidied up but now have the consequences of less meniscus to absorb shock and lubricate the joint. I think I irritated it by trying to skip...also now on the banned list!
When did you jump off a step?

holidayloverxx, It was awhile back, but the knee was bad for about 3 weeks.
Went to see Physio yesterday, no need to see him again unless i have a problem.
I've just to keep excersizing the muscles so that they do waste away...!! little chance of that.
as of next week i'm starting to play tennis again, but advises never to run..otherwise only affect i will get is swelling after each days skiing.
but after 5 weeks in france cycling etc. the knee feels like i've never had surgery.

Good to hear people are getting a bit better, TPFs are a long road to recovery
Back under the knife for me, hopefully in December. Getting the TPF re-broken and a bit of bone shaved off my hip will be put in there to straighten everything up. Back to the start of rehab for me. Good bye VMO, good by quad, good bye hamstring!

it went fine, thanks. All very easy as the hospital was a pleasant two mile walk, with crutches strapped to my small walking backpack (to save the £20 or so that Spire Health would have charged me for a pair). A friend drove me home and made us a couple of cups of tea. I had a comfortable night, though I had forgotten to take the prescribed paracetamol and codeine (no doubt because it wasn't painful, as I was still full of the anaesthesia) but it was a bit sore walking and moving it this morning and I regretted my error. But it's been getting easier - not bothering with crutches any more. Plenty of sessions with the ice packs and doing the gentle exercises the physio gave me to gradually increase ROM.
Back to see the surgeon in 6 weeks - his verdict was that my knee looked in good shape (he tactfully didn't add "for your age...") and I should get a good result. All very trivial compared to the problems faced by others, including Batman_123.
I think BUPA will pay for some sessions with my local physio and, if they don't, I will. It's still swollen at the moment, not surprisingly, and need to get that down before doing much more.
