14 weeks post ACL + MicroFracture Here
I can share ALOT.. This was my 5th surgery, and will be the final reconstruction on my right knee before it goes all metal (Pray that never has to happen). I was able to do my entire surgery, and therapy without the use any Opiate based painkillers also, which was huge for me, excruciating-yes, but defiantly was very proud that i didn't need to go that route for pain relief, although i did wake up cussing like a sailor in the hospital recovery room!!:banghead:
One big question here: Is your damage done from 1 freak accident or Years of joint degeneration/destruction?
That question there will play a huge role into what we can all suggest for you, including "supplementation"...
Personally, Tens Unit is GREAT advice.. BPC-157 isn't a bad idea, ghrp2/cjc, Universal Animal Flex (glucosamine). Tons of more ideas bro.:headbang:
Is there, or will there be any bone damage?? How bad is that meniscus? if this is a "Long term- Over time" injury, be gentle on that pre-hab! the whole idea behind that is so that you don't lose all quadriceps function.. I did after 6 weeks of no weight bearing, mind you.. i had the microfracture done though, as i had zero meniscus left..my quad was completely GONE, it slowly came back, mainly my #1 goal at the moment..Quad, quad, quad.. :lightbulb:
Hit me up with a PM and ill share my story, so far, so great, have been very very BLESSED, and finally walking again at week 14 now
