Knee problems

[Jim B.]

Frustrated ! It's been 16 weeks now and am still not able to ride my bike. I had surgery for a torn miniscus on 10/16 but during surgery my calf muscle got tore again somehow. It had jus got to the point where I could put my weight on it and walk some just before surgery. Dr. sent me to have a ultra sound and said I had blood clots. Hope this gets straightened out soon. I want to ride. Because of getting down and up I can't even work on the bike. Just need to vent as I'm frustrated !

You have my sympathy. I started my range of motion exercises the same day I had my meniscus surgery and was able to ride a few days later. The 4 weeks that I couldn't ride before the surgery drove me crazy. I can't imagine not being able to ride for 16 weeks. Hang in there and I hope your situation starts to turn around soon.
