I have just gotten my first knee injury.....

[Zyglamail]

yeah like I said...interesting...glad you offered up the information. i'm certainly open to learning more about it, because I am still dealing with this knee a year after surgery....



peace

Your current condition a year after surgery lends strength to my claims. Surgery, unless for a complete tear does nothing for the underlying problem in almost all cases, its simply a bandaide fix and lines the Dr's and the HMO's pockets with your hard earned money. I can guarantee you there are many more years behind prolo than there is arthroscopic surgery but because prolo isnt in the lime light, its so easy to do you rarely hear about it, that and the fact that Docs have become complacent and lost site of the problem and are only out to help symptoms.

Often times the damage from surgery can not be recovered from 100% but prolo can help get you close. Price ranges from doc to doc, but if your serious about recovery spend the $200 and have your knee treated you will know within a couple treatments if its helping.

EmptyWallet , dont be fooled by an MRI, while it is a gretat invention it is not the best means of determining these types of injuries. A study was done at U of FL and had huge margins of error for determining tendon/ligament damage. One nice thing about prolo is you can tell exactly what tendon/ligament is injured when the needle hit its, there is no question. Sprains can cause huge amounts of swelling and pain as long as you can move/use the leg you dont have a complete tear and a complete tear is the only thing that should require sugery.

This is how it feels right now. I can stand on both legs, with more weight distributed onto the good leg (my right) than the bad leg (my left). I can't walk yet, nor to I have full range of motion yet, however motion gets better and better everyday. It doesnt really hurt, but it doesnt feel good either. Just really really weak. Like if I put some pressure on it it would just break. I don't know if the reason I can't walk yet is because I'm scared, or if I really can't. My knee is still pretty swollen, which probably effects the range of motion. I can go much further in the motion of doing a leg extension, than I can doing a leg curl (its strange though, because I can move the leg anywhere with my hand, like almost full range of motion, but I CANNOT do it unassisted, like laying on my stomach and trying to do the leg curl motion with just my leg, however if I reach my hand back there and pull, I can do it ok).

In the case of a fresh injury there isnt any need to seek out prolo, the stiffness and weakness is caused by the swelling, which is a critical part of healing and the affected nerves telling the brain its injured. Since your allready inflamed you just need to let the body work at healing and this could take a few weeks or more but should slowly progress like it is now.

Prolo becomes important for nagging injuries that just dont seem to heal, injuries we may have just worked around and through for many months and treated with comon methods, reducing inflamation and prevented healing. In order to prevent long term irreversable damage healing needs to be completed.

In your case just take it easy, walk when you can but try not to strain it, doing leg curls and extensions with no weight to just work the joint, get blood flowing etc will go a long way toward healing.

well, in my case surgery was unavoidable....my ACL was completely gone, and I also had a huge meniscus tear...right down the middle of my meniscus.
