Knee Surgery Recovery?!
Question:
Knee Surgery Recovery?
I had surgery on the 14, i had arthroscopic surgery on the left side of my left knee to do a lateral release and also they had to cut about a 5 inch incision on the other side of my knee for some ligament repair.
but my question is.....Why would the little baby holes for the arthroscopic surgery hurt more than the large incision?????
They are killing me! i had it checked out for infection and its fine. but why do they hurt so bad?
Answers:
they do A LOT of work in those incisions! more than you realize. you can keep icing it now too, for 20 min. at a time. also, you can massage the scars with neosporin or something like that too...it helps to reduce the scar tissue that's building up from the incisions and surgery you just went through. also, it helps with the scar healing as well! when you massage you can feel where the skin is tighter, so massage gently to help relieve it! if it continues call your doctor and ask!
hope i helped!
