Hope you stay pain free.

Find a doc who does prolotherapy. I fell straight down 15 or so ft, tore my knee, 2 treatments I was doing Muay Thai again, or about a 10 week recovery.

Rub some dirt on it. No pain because everything is torn. Follow your rehab

Jaretr1, glad to hear you have little paint with that much damage; most likely the jolt you get at times is the meniscus as ligaments don't have much blood supply and pain associated. I have RA and have had 7 surgeries... 4 on one knee - zero cartilage at present. My issues have lead me to training others for the past 17 years and get quite a few very challenging cases. Definitely stay on the rehab and as soon as you are allowed. The knee is really just a hinge with some rotational ability. Good idea if you can is to try to contract your leg muscles as motion permits ( not weighted as in sitting doing leg extensions and curls; side-lying leg raises, CLAMS, etc. ); it will make rehab a lot easier if you maintain as much normal motion and strength as surgery is an invasion and the nervous system doesn't like to use things quickly after said invasion... keep moving and be thoughtful... good luck.

Here's to a speedy recovery. Take it easy, rest it up and I hope you heal quickly and get back on your feet 100% soon!

Thanks for all the advice and wishes. Go back to the doctor on Monday to see what the next course of action is. Every day it gets just a tick better, slightly more range of motion etc.

I am going to attempt to change the oil in my car and rotate the tires this Friday. Most or all of that I do sitting down or lying down so shouldn't be an issue or put any stress on my knee. Its the getting up and down I need to be careful of. And if there is time, and the weather is nice, maybe even wash it! Life must go on! My cars need to be taken care of!
