A member asked:
Didnt rest after arthroscopy of the knee for plica removal, could i have injured my knee by doing this? have pain and discomfort 9 weeks post op.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical therapy now: While a short course of rest after any surgery can be helpful, in orthopedics typically physical therapy is appropriate when there hash't been a significant fracture. Therefore even though it's nine weeks postop,a course of PT with strengthening of the quads, stretching of hamstrings and a focus on core muscle conditioning is appropriate. See your surgeon to discuss this and other options.
