Feeling a lot better this evening. My cats are cute and I finally have some art on the go that I think I'll finish this side of Christmas xDDD
In September 2008 I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (according to my husband. To my recollection the people at the hospital never 'fessed up to which one(s) I tore but he is now working on a project related to knees so he knows all about them now). I had an operation, had to keep it straight for 6 weeks, then had to get it to bend again. I was off work for four months, I couldn't do anything, go anywhere except to physio in a taxi, etc etc. I had physio for a few months then the therapist basically said there was nothing more she could do for me, and that I could continue exercising on my own.
I was never able to extract any hint of where I should be after how long from anyone at the hospital. I naively thought after my operation in October that I'd be fine again by Christmas. I really wasn't, but I had zero idea of what to expect. One person (an assistant filling in for my regular physio) actually said to me 'it's been 6 weeks... don't you think you should be able to bend it more by now?' I was like 'I have no idea. That's why I'm not a physiotherapist.' So I don't know how much better I will get. I can walk, but my knee is still stiff and I worry about it all the time, and sometimes that gets me down. When I am walking to work, I am acutely aware that one false step could land me back in hospital.
Most of my life is great ^^ I have lost a lot of weight over the past year, now live in a nice house with a garden, have two lovely kitties and a lot of blessings to count. But sometimes, it's hard to have a proper perspective on how blessed I am. Thank you for your support during those times

But usually - when it comes to health stuff - it takes some time until things get better. If you think that things work out maybe try to do a bit more. Or just visit a different physiotherapist to see what they think about it. Can never be wrong to know different opinions - especially when it comes to health.
I hope that you will be able to worry less about your knee one day!
I had a skiing accident just shy of my 30th birthday several years ago in which I brutally tore my ACL. It literally snapped in two. I was in the military and also a runner. My knee and leg were in a cast for a few weeks and I walked with a brace for more weeks. Once I got insurance which I didn't have at the time of the accident I went to see the best Orthoscopic/Orthopedic doctor in town who immediately scheduled me for reconstructive surgery.
Yep, that's right they had to totally reconstruct the ligaments in my knee. 20,000 U.S. dollars later, my knee filled with screws and a new reconstructed ligament; I was told that I would never run again. Well, that would have ended my career and I didn't want that.
I went to physical therapy and worked hard and then worked hard on my own in the gym. A few months later not only did I run again, but I ran faster than ever!
You need a second, third, maybe even forth opinion and if you have the insurance get NEW orthopedic surgery at the very least! Shame on your doctors!!
I sincerely hope you improve hon and FAST!!
I just hope you don't have any future complications.
With my leg I was at physio from February til 31st July and it still is not good, especially the foot but that's because I started physio way too late...
