Knee update

Seen Mr Finlayson in Inverness today. Wans't the news I was hoping for to be honest. His opinion is that the knee is not going straight enough yet so he wants me to work on that for another couple of weeks to ensure the best situation for making a solid ACL reconstruction which will have the best possible range of movement in the long term. I fully understand his reasoning behind it, I am at the stage where I just want to get on with things though and get better but he is looking at the long term and I am sure I will be grateful of that in years to come.

So I'm back on the physio, I'm alot more mobile now though, I dont need the crutches, just need to be careful on un even ground and changing direction.

Here is a diagram I found on the internet of a knee structure, the Anterior Cruciate Ligament is clearly shown.
