OK, Enough is Enough...

I tore my meniscus in the gym last May, and my knee was locked for 2 weeks. After the operation, I could never fully extend my leg, and had a really small range of movement.

In all honesty, I think they messed up the first operation. It hurt constantly, my kneecap would slide to the right/make horrible clicking noises, and I had a BAD limp.

Then in August, I was swimming and my knee clicked and locked again. The next operation was to repair the meniscus and the cruciante ligament. After the second operation I felt a million times better, and my limp is gone!

Oh, and for anyone that has joint pain, I really recomend glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements!

That's sounds like it has to be very very painful. I had knee surgery in January and I'm thinking now that I've re-injured it. I hope you get better and pain free soon

I'm also attempting to get into shape and having pretty good success at it so far. I can't seem to tear myself away from Cherry Coke, though. But, haven't been eating chocolate a lot like I used to. After surgery last year, I got really out of shape. Also, if you get the Oprah magazine, check out June's article with Eve Ensler. It's about accepting our bodies and not letting society dictate how we feel about ourselves. Good luck, everyone!
