I had 3 knee surgeries and they were not all that bad in terms of pain. I had my last one done at UBC sports medicine & it went really well. Unfortunately, I blew out my knee again when I was working as a fish farmer and now am very limited in the physical activities I can now particiapate in. Take care of your knees because you will hate it if you can no longer play sports. I used to play soccer, softball, badminton, volleyball, hackeysack, etc. Now, not so much.

Sorry to hear about your knee. Be careful with those painkillers, too. They are addictive and can be dangerous. I know a person who is waiting for back surgery (two year wait from the time of seeing the surgeon) and they have this lady on liquid morphine. It seems they are turning everyone into drug addicts because they cannot deal with the backlog of patients in this province. Seems awfully dangerous to me.

Thanks for the concern but I dont like the way they make me feel just that the pain goes away.I am the type who doesn't take anything for a headache ever.That being said this has been incredibly painful and Im trying to cut back on the doses im taking already because I feel like a zombie on them.Clint

Yeah I could not believe they were addictive, either, as I was on them when I had surgery a couple of years ago. Apparently those things are sold on the street - though I have no idea why anyone would want to feel like that!

I hope your knee is better soon. It sucks to be unable to move around like you are used to.

I know where you are comming from, I blow out my left knee in high school and have had 4 acl restrings before one worked, still not 100% but close, then last week I slipped and tore my mcl and pcl in my right knee, am also layed up on the couch in a splint and pain killers, but each days it feels a little bit better, hang in there a week or so will bring a big differnace

I am surprised they operated even though you have no pain. Once you go in its never the same. It is one reason I have never had surgery on my own knee. I did strengthening exercises until the pain eventually went away.
