5 years too late for me. Regretting going through the surgery. Knee has been problematic ever since.

Good news that there will be better options available.

I feel you man. Joints are assholes. I used to always say "well, at least my knees are fine" but now I have some sort of patellar issue that I can't seem to find a doctor to care about lol

Hopefully soon, my friend

Do your rehabilitation well. Not all knees end up like mine. There are pro football players who went through ACL reconstruction surgeries and they have done okay.

One day before your surgery, if it's a grade 2 do reconsider your surgery. It's only been 8 months since my surgery kinda regretting it, crepitus and joint friction has been worse than it was before. Loss of proprioception also makes my knee feel worse .

Sorry to hear that. I know I had a good effort at trying to fix it through Kneesovertoes but ultimately I couldn't really run quickly with comfort and turn very well with confidence so that's why I've quickly pushed for the surgery. I didn't see your comment till today but I ended up getting the surgery.

It concerns me that I don't know the grade and that sort of information but well, I've committed.

My consultant is supposed to be very good specialist so I'm just banking on the quality of his work and the quality of my postop physio now.

It's alright buddy. Just be consistent with the rehab. As for the previous reply, I was asking if you had any real buckling symptoms when you're on with your daily activities. Because I didn't have much, but there was crepitus at time and that worried me of osteoarthritis and wanted me to push for surgery to prevent any such. But the crepitus has gone worse. I'm still trying to recover some people it'll take over a year to properly recover from the surgery. So I'm doing my part and hoping for the best. Good luck to you too!
