Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Life begins again!

As a number of you om TM will be aware, my penchant for sailing landed me with a very badly torn knee cartilage last year.
That in turn revealed hyaline( articular) cartilage damge and it all escalated from there. I really wasn't inerested in any kind of knee replacement. so went for what is termed Microfracture with stem cell replacement
As I was told at the time, simple enough op- arthroscopy but a b*gger of a rehab
Afer 8 weeks totally non weight bearing, I saw my orthopods today and news so far is good. Stem cells have 'stuck' and I have a good thicknes of fibre cartilage there. not over yet- still painful and serious rehab programme to follow
Nice one, Ralph Steadman and Ian Mackie. Can't thank you enough

Thought I'd share my new theme tune with you

I wish you a speedy recovery, G.

Pleased to hear you are on the mend.

Many years ago I broke my hip, which resulted in 6 weeks of non-load bearing on the left leg. The most important thing I did was physiotherapy. Every hour I would ensure that I did the exercises (I would set the alarm clock to remind me). Even with doing the exercies my leg muscles contracted.

Keep up the good work.
