The knee? It was orthoscopic surgery. (I clutched a video tape into the theatre and pleaded with the doctor to record it for me so I could see what my knee looks like from the inside. 🤣) So basically my knee felt like fire for about a week and was super-tender for another week. After that it was six weeks of being careful and then I was fine.
The back ... was a different story. I was wheeled into the hospital, unable to walk. I was given six of the largest damned needles I'd ever seen in my life and the subsequent injections made the pain of the injury seem mild by comparison. Like I screamed until I fainted levels of pain.
But the second round of needles a week later I walked into the appointment.
And the third.
I've recently had a bone graft on my knee the pain has been excruciating. I've looked into it it's a long slow heal nothing I can do, just do my physio and plod along
