Day 139, and not really any difference. Sticking to my regimen is hard and I don't have the right equipment at home to do my exercises. I want to start doing my regular workouts, but I am finding it tough.
Today I did my functional training as assigned to me by my PT. I am not quite ready to try running yet, but I did put some jump rope into my exercise today. There was stinging pain where the MCL connects to the shin, at the bottom of my scar. I hopped through the pain though. I will discuss with my PT and my surgeon to see why I still get sharp pain in that area only. The knee cap itself feels fine, but my quad isn't firing very well either.
I've added some ball exercises as well. I now do a bridge into a hamstring curl on the exercise ball. I also do jackknives because I need to build up some core strength. It is extremely week since I haven't done any real exercise until now.
These are the only real updates I have right now.
Until the next post,
Steph
On March 29th, 2015 I tore my ACL and MCL in my right knee while jumping on a trampoline at Skyzone. Yes, it was a poor life decision that lasted all of 5 minutes before I ruined my dominant knee. Although I am no longer a competitive athlete, I decided I wanted the ACL surgery. I did 6 months of pre-op physio to strengthen my leg before going under the knife (and scopes and drills). I had reconstructive surgery for my ACL on October 27th, 2015. This is my rehab to a semi-normal knee.
