I am 12.5 weeks away from my surgery now. I saw my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month post op appointment. I have some swelling in my knee. Its not that bad at all! Here are the surgeons orders:
-No jogging.
-No elliptical past 15 minutes. No elliptical every day.
-No jumping.
-No squats past 45 degrees.
I cant do anything until the swelling is gone. I am completely confused and frustrated. My PT thinks I am ready for more.
Heres what we did last week in PT.
Warmed up for ten minutes on the elliptical.
Hamstring curls 30 reps (2.5 lbs)
Single Leg press 30 reps (45 lbs)
Sports cord. 5 sets in each direction.
Hach squat 30 reps (50 lbs)
Mountain climber with "sliding plates" 2 sets of 10 each leg.
Other kind of slider exercise, I dunno what the name is! with "sliding plates" 2 sets of 10 each leg.
Using the big ball, I do a single leg hammy curl 2 sets of ten each leg.
Single leg ball toss. forwards and sideways. 20 throws.
Kicked a soccer ball. For about 3 minutes or so my PT and I kicked the ball to eachother...He would kick it far away from me so I had to walk/run and get it.
Jump rope for 3 minutes...using 2 feet. My knee is too weak to alternate feet.
Did this skating kind of drill, I got on a slippery surface and slid from side to side.
Lateral walks using the heaviest band.
Iced for 10 minutes
4 more weeks until the next visit. Im really hoping the swelling goes down until the next visit. I cant wait to train.
