I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon today and he recommended an Arthroscope for my right knee (the left one will possibly need doing further down the track if it doesn't improve with medication and special exercises).
I can't remember the scientific name of whats wrong with it but basical my knee cap isn't sitting within the groove the way it should be, because of this it is creating debris and this causes the knee to lock. The operation will make the area within the knee smooth again so that it will slide the way it should.
Unfortunately he said that this could only be a temporary solution but I figure that I will just take one day at a time and deal with whatever comes when it comes. Besides that anything is better than what I've been putting up with.
I am booked in at the Bacchus Marsh Hospital on Wednesday August 3rd. In the meantime I need to fill in some paperwork filled and get xrays and then I just wait.
I won't be allowed to do full on exercise for 6 - 8 weeks, but I can swim once the stitches are out so I am going to plan to do lots of Aqua Therapy, Upper Body Workouts (Boxing and Weights) and short walks.
Today was a good day, Calories are in check and I worked out for over an hour which is probably a little too much but tomorrow is a rest day.
