Forever fearful of graft laxity
Hi all, I’m almost 12 weeks post-op with a quad graft, a complex meniscus repair, and an LET. As a healthy athlete I had a chronic habit of overdoing it and now my recovery journey is filled with anxiety about simultaneously under and over doing it at the same time.
I can walk around the house on my own until I get tired, like after I’ve ridden my indoor trainer or had a difficult PT session. I go to actual PT 3 times a week and do PT at home most other days. Sometimes I still get buckling with walking or lately, hyperextension where it feels like the knee bends majorly backwards. I feel like I really have to focus on walking more than I think I should.
I’m told this is just quad control, but would really appreciate input and experiences from others around this time who had a quad graft. Every day I see a post about a revision and I start to spiral!
