An arrow in the knee. 4-8 weeks

July 1 To do surgery, after one months of rehabilitation, walking has been able to completely without crutches, protective gear is only in the office when with, work back home generally do not bring. The first 4 weeks of recovery please participate in my previous post.

July 29 to Hangzhou on business, insurance or with a protective gear, loaded in the suitcase. Also brought an ice pack, because the knee is still a little swollen, hoping to have more ice to compress the swelling. (The fact is, until the end of a business trip, the ice bag did not take out from the suitcase) to the airport through the security of many people ah, regret not to take out the protective gear, but also to take the special channel. The plane is in economy class, the right leg to maintain a long-term inability to straighten the posture or a bit uncomfortable, but more than in mid-July on the trip much better.

To Hangzhou that night on a scrape of seet, the wind blowing my road can not move. At present, although the knee is a little swollen, but take the road is relatively fast, is because the right leg can not be stretched, a bit lame. On the stairs can be cross-step, or habitual to hold the staircase handle. And the next staircase can not cross the steps, only step by step slowly. Have been worried about the customer's toilet is not the kind of toilet. After coming to find this customer on-site bathroom is very clean, and the same as our division.

Due to the customer site work intensity is relatively large, back to the hotel after more tired, gradually abandoned rehabilitation training. Lifting legs those have not done for a long time, feeling little effect. Crouch also only tried a few times. Leg muscle atrophy is still very strong, left leg four muscle can still see the contour, right leg is nothing outline. Think that when my legs pushed up 160 kilograms of barbell without pressure, but also can do group, this is even 80 kilograms are struggling. Break leg words also think up to break a bit, not serious treatment.

It's been like this for two weeks. The reason is so random, one is because of busy work, second, I think the gym rehabilitation is the best effect. So 6 weeks after the operation, I would like to find a gym around, on the one hand to start the knee rehabilitation training, on the other hand also resume my strength training. Hangzhou this side of the gym a lot, light me around 1 kilometers within 7, 8. But not many pay-per-click, and some have to buy private education. Because I stay in Hangzhou for a long time, a total of one months or so, so I hope to pay the fee. Finally found a can do the monthly card, 500 yuan one months, the gym is also relatively large, there are three layers, are aerobic sports area, strength training area and heated swimming pool, and the hotel is only 800 meters away from me. This is exactly what fits my ideal gym. I immediately started training for one months.

For knee training I want to start with an elliptical and a stationary bike. The elliptical is less stressful on the knees and is capable of exercising the four muscles of the femoral head. I was still tired as a dog for 20 minutes. This is the end of a few months of not much exercise. Fixed bike I just started to kick the leg or some do not adapt, especially bending to the maximum time some pain. But the pedal for a while, there is no big feeling. After 30 minutes on the bike, I practiced for a while and went swimming. Swimming is a very good sport, especially for people who have a traumatic day. Because there is buoyancy in the water, it will relieve the pressure of the joint, and the swimming consumption is also very large. In order not to make the injured leg excessive exercise, my swimming posture uses the backstroke. No way, only the backstroke and breaststroke are the two poses. Have a big six months not to swim, how tread water all to forget.

Then there were several gyms on and off. Each time it was basically a 20-minute oval, 30-minute bike, then strength training half an hour + swimming half an hour. After this kind of rehabilitation training feeling the physical strength gradually restores. In this way, 8 weeks after the surgery, weight also dropped 1 kilograms, to more than 72 kilograms. The upper and lower floors can also be crossed away. I even feel like I can run (but on the side of caution, there's no running). Angle also for a long time did not break, tried a bit has been able to easily to 140 degrees, the basic no adhesion risk. I have not forced the angle, since the angle reached 120 or so, I think it is necessary to strengthen the strength of training. As long as the leg muscle strength up, the angle is naturally up.

Now is the appearance of 8 weeks after surgery, usually walk without any discomfort, the basic recovery to normal level, speed is no problem. is a bit lame, should or not fully stretched legs. I think I can do some training on the muscle strength of the legs.

The next goal is to resume running as early as possible. Take control of your weight and regain strength training, practice your chest muscles, and get out of your abs.

By the way, after the operation has not been to find the attending doctor to review, on the one hand is because of travel, on the other hand, I feel recovery can also, no need to find. I'd like to wait until 3 months to get back to the attending physician and then follow his advice on whether to resume intensive training.
