Anybody Had Their Knee Scoped?

I have a "mass" on my ACL and they are going to scope it next week. Can any body tell me what to expect? Pain afterwards, recovery time, etc...

 

I have never had surgery of any kind or even been put to sleep. I'm sort of nervous and excited at the same time!

Haven't had my knee scoped, but had my shoulder done...

 

Six holes, they put a shot in my neck that numbed my whole arm for about 48 hours and they knocked me out... don't remember a thing, just remember waking up foggy with my arm in a sling.

 

The holes they did the surgery thru weren't bad at all... literally didn't even feel it when they took the staples out.

 

Recovery from the surgery wasn't fun, but wasn't horrible either... PT was not pleasant.  No idea what you can expect...

 

 

My dad had his knee scoped probably 15 years ago... I seem to recall he had three holes, one on top and two on either side of the patella.

Scoped my knee years ago, though is was cartilige and not a ligament. Swollen for a few days, moderate pain that steadily lessened, three small holes that you can't even see anymore. Follow directions and you should be up and mobile pretty quickly.

The Dr. told me he could knock me out or give me a shot that would numb me from the waist down and I could watch. I think it would be cool to watch!

Do it! I watched a couple arthroscopic ACL replacements, and they are absolutely fascinating. Unless you are really squeamish, it's not gross at all. There is almost no blood, and it's fascinating to see the inner workings of your body.

 

And generally speaking, I don't like to go under general anesthesia unless my life depends on it. Get the local and enjoy the show!

I think that's what I'll do. Thanks!!!

 

I wonder if I can get them to make a DVD? They gave me a disc of my MRI, I don't know what I'm looking at, but it's cool looking!

My only advice is to make sure that you do the physical therapy and start working the mobility of your knee within a few days of getting home.  Sitting on the side of the bed and doing a few leg lifts helps to keep the scar tissue from setting in.  Otherwise, your physical therapy in the Dr office will also consist of tearing the scar tissue.

 

Believe me....do the exercises at home.

Just doing a memory dump so apologies for the randomness.  Not saying it will be the same because I suspect there is a lot of variability, especially if there is are different procedures.

 

Had both knees scoped to clean up cartilage.  1st one was in 2003 and it was just a couple holes but it required a bit of PT to get my leg back to normal (strength, mobility, etc...)  The second was a few years later in 2006 and it seemed to be a lot less recovery.  Neither were very painful.  Big thing to do is keep the swelling down because I think the quad can atrophy quickly.  Walk as much as possible and permitted afterwards. Even if it hurts a little and you have to use a painkiller.  The muscle keeps pumping and the blood flowing.   It also actually helped me get the swelling down.  Also, there is a tendency to sleep with the knee bent slightly rather than straight or elevated at an angle.  I think that bend also lengthens recovery.

My biggest problem was walking down stairs afterwards.  Going up was not that bad for me.

 

Hope it works out.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      By spydaman27 · Posted

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
