Years later and this is still the most helpful video on mpfl surgery experience. Mine is on Wednesday and these has eased a lot of my anxiety.
I just had the same surgery. I had a similar experience! I'm at post-op day 1. I'm glad to hear about your experience. It's nice to know lots of young people get this surgery too. I don't feel alone now.
Hi! How Are you Today?
I just had mpfl reconstruction last week and watched this video like 5 times before it hahah. honestly thank you so much for making this and helping me know what to expect!!
How Are you Today?
Thanks so much for making this video I’m getting this surgery tomorrow and i had been watching the other videos but they just made me scared, but this made me feel a lot better about it👍🏻
Omg good luck with your surgery! I’m glad I could soothe some nerves, definitely come back once your surgery is done and you’re recovering and let me know how it went. I hope it goes well and you have a fast recovery
@@LiaLamonica It's been almost a week now and I'm doing ok. The surgery was way less scary than I expected and though recovery has been painful, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment. I do have one question though, how long did it take you to be able to bend your knee to 90 degrees? I've been a little worried about it because I don't want it to get stiff, but my physio says my progress is fine.
It took me about a month maybe a little bit more to get a full 90 degree bend and even then it was a little stiff! I’m glad your surgery went well, I wouldn’t worry about your knee getting stiff too much just make sure you do the exercises they give you to do at home
@@LiaLamonica Thanks! You've been very comforting I really appreciate it!
@@jeanierothwell3937 I'm so glad I could be helpful! I know before my surgery I was looking for videos like this and couldn't find any so making my own was the next best thing LOL.
I just wanted say thanks for making these videos... having this op soon. I have had different ops before and one thing that really upset me was nurses in recovery that made me feel I was an annoyance! The other thing... you crying in recovery. Don't know if anyone has said but having had this Happen to me, my anesthesiologist said it is really common. Apparently the anesthesia lowers your inhibitions and just BAM... crying, screaming, you name it! ♡♡♡
i’m about to get this surgery on wednesday i’m a little nervous, and how is your knee right now? are you able to jump and do everything as good as you were able before?
nevermind.
Bro how did it go. Need to know this before I go under the 🔪
You back to full function, jumping twisting etc
@@hpiq700 well honestly, it hasnt gone well for me. could be that i just haven’t been working out enough, but my operated still isn’t at 100% function. there’s pain when i jump, run at full speed, or anything that requires a bit of force. on the other hand, my range of motion and kneecap stability is actually pretty good. i can kneel and do all sorts of similar actions. also im not trying to worry you or anything, but just wanting to let you know that you really gotta put in the work if you want to get back to 💯.
@@hommeboy for real, thanks man. I have dislocated my knee twice now. First time I put the work in and made it strong went back to sport, but it wasn’t the same still felt something wrong. Ignored the feeling and pop second time, I don’t think strengthening it and physio will do much for me. So opted for surgery. Little worried I won’t get back to how it was
@@hpiq700no problem bro, and i’m sure you’ll get back to 100% in no time if you keep workin. also, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
Thank you, I'm not afraid for the surgery but being placed under. Because I'm so allergic to many painkillers. You're video will help me with my first ever surgery at 46.
Good luck with the surgery! I wish you a speedy recovery and easy surgery, please keep me updated and if you have any other questions I’d be happy to answer them
@@LiaLamonica thank you, I just want to know will the initial pain go away? I mean I'm still unable to bend my knee, I injured it back in April and it's like a bag of marbles.
My pain went away after a couple of months, I got my surgery done in February and I believe that I was totally pain free around June!
Hi!! I will be getting this surgery soon, how bad is the pain after surgery, were you able to get on and off bed on your own? I have never had surgery!!
Hello . I have mpfl reconstruction. It's been a month already but it's hard for me to bend my knee like there is tension
How are you toda?
I had mpfl and mvl reconstruction. I am 3 weeks out and 45 degrees is fairly easy but 60 is difficult. How are you doing now? any advice for me?
this put me at ease. also your friends are amazing lol
We love a strong warrior.
Love all the cats.
hanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
omg so sorry that I didn't get to this sooner! If you had already had the surgery I hope your recovery is going well but for me personally, when I first got there I had an IV put in that was supplying me fluids bc I fasted 24 hours before. About 30 minutes before I went in to surgery the anesthesiologist came in and told me about what she was giving me then simply connected the plunger and integrated it into my IV, I didn't feel any of that. In about 20 minutes I felt super tired and I was getting groggy. When they wheeled me out of the pre-op room I was already dozing off and was out like a light! That's all I can remember but thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed :)
Hey what meds did they put u on for recovery and pain meds? Im having this surgery next week and im freakingggg out. Any advice???
Your video is so much helpful thank you so much.....also I'm super concerned about the pain after the surgery is it too bad or like you can tolerate it...... I'm about to get this surgery next week and I'm kinda scared bout the pain.....i don't know what my pain tolerance levels are but they're definitely not good.....anyways thank you so much for cheering me up❤️
how did it go? how was the pain? having this surgery next week and so nervous
@@bojangles5200how did it go for you???
Just 5 days Post op and I’m still scared to bend my knee even a little
How was the pain on first and second day
@@raghunandankohli5544 horrible
Hey! Im getting this surgery in a week and i was wondering how the pain was after the surgery? If it was super bad and how immobil you were after the surgery and if your leg is healed up now? Does it feel better?
Hey! So after the surgery I was still under most of the hospitals anesthesia and very drowsy and sleepy, as that wore off I would take 3 ibuprofen around the clock and with that the pain would be about 3-4 on the pain scale. I had a completely straight leg immobilizer so I couldn’t walk and I was told to not bear weight right after surgery. And yes it does feel a lot better now! I just recently posted a video that’s 2 months post op discussing it better if you wanna go check that out. I hope your surgery goes well!
Was it a mpfl?
Please what did u do first few days to rehab? How much could u bend? Thanks
Yes it was
So sorry I didn’t see the other portion of your comment. During the first few days I would follow the exercises given to me by my doctor. Which included leg lifts with the straight immobilizer on and then bending it slightly with the immobilizer off. I could bend it to about a 120 degree angle at first but that got better as I kept doing the exercise over the next week or so
Lia Lamonica thanks so much for replying. U make it look so easy.
When you were able to walk without help
damn only 30 minutes for the surgery? mine took almost 4 hours for just the reconstruction
Oh my gosh! Yea my surgeon was surprised how quick it was as well, my mom thought something went wrong!
