I had my check-up with the surgeon yesterday. I felt great that day after two wonderful days when I almost forgot about my knee.
He agreed that my knee looked good. The bruises are now gone and the swelling is very little. He recommended six more weeks of physical therapy to make sure I regain full extension and flexion of my knee. Twice a wee was a little disappointing since I was expecting only once but in the end I want to be myself again as soon as possible.
We spoke supplements for joint health and he gave me his flier about Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate. This guy is widely published across the USA and has a huge reputation. His point regarding the use of such product is that there is no real studies proving their efficiency although animals taking it stopped limping.
But the reviews are mixed. Bot the glucosamine and chondroitin are derived from animal products so I have mixed feelings about it.
Now is the last stretch of the long road I've walked since early January.
Pain is gone. I have better day than bad.
Today was a so-so day with some stiffness in the legs but I've walked more recently and also been cleaning my house so it can explain.
I hope the night will be restful so tomorrow, which is busy with therapy and three meetings, will be a good day.
