Title: Just Had Surgery !! Post by: MudMan on June 23, 2008, 02:01:15 PM I just had my ACL replaced and part of my meniscus taken out. Has anyone had this procedure done and/or does anyone know how much rehab I'm looking at.

The reconstruct you will be slow for 3 months but you need to get into PT immediately. The scopes are nothing, I was out on the boat the following weekend. Keep in mind that the Percocets helped me be able to take the bumps of the waves. ;) Did the DR give you the ice water machine to pump cold water around your knee? If so, Use it, It makes a HUGE difference in the swelling. Title: Re: Just Had Surgery !!

The swelling is gone. I start PT tomorrow. And the doc renewed my prescription for percocet and smiled and told me I was going to need it. I'm VERY active so this is killing me.
