Knee realignment surgery. If you have had it please help!
Hey. I had a lateral release in June (2011). The surgery isn't helping. My orthopedic is talking about re-lining my knee because it's still so off track.
I was wondering, what is the pain level after surgery? How long will I have to do physical therapy? Was the surgery a success? Was the surgery worth it? Are you pleased with the results? Have you had trouble with your knee since?
Thanks for the help! :)

Hello I had knee surgery September 21, 2010 and I had a patella relaignment(knee realignment) and it was successful but a year later it started to pop out of place AGAIN. I have really bad arthritise which came back. i was in physical theropy for about 6.5 monthes which I didnt like. I think I will have to go in and get it dont agaion but this time a knee replacement and I will have to do that with both knees. When they took the stiches out I could feel them comming out under my skin. IT WAS GROSSSSSS!!!!!!! Well I have very bad bones and athritise all throught out my body. I also have tendonitise. I have every brace for every bone in the body. dont worry the surgery wont be as bad as you think but it will take a long time to recooerate D;. To me the surgery was worth it only if you have the right doctor. If you dont have the right doctor it will be good only if you want to have knee surgery every year which could cost a ton.
Hope eveything goes good
If you have another question please ask me

I have had several knee surgeries on my right leg for meniscus tears. During the last surgery the doctor did some realignment of the knee. The surgery was a success and I still don't believe this but I was able to put some weight on the knee the next morning.
The pain was tolerable and I had an ice buddy that I used which is something that looks like a small cooler you put ice in and a small amount of water. The ice water is circulated through tubes to a pad that I strapped around my knee. This helped a lot. I also took the pain medication the doctor gave me. The nurse in the recovery room told me to take the medication for the next several days whether I felt I needed it or not so as to stay ahead of the pain.
I am about to have surgery on my left knee for the same problem. As a result of the right knee surgery I had the added benefit of improving a chronic back pain condition resulting from a car accident I had many years ago. Both my ortho doctor and my pain specialist are looking forward to more improvement to that condition from the second operation.
